But games require huge server infrastructures to run: Only applicable if it's a massively online multiplayer game. If your game requires thousands of people to be connected to the same game world at the same time - then your argument does hold water. If your games only requires a handful of people to play, it's not hard to host a server. People are not stupid or computer-illiterate. There are games older than I am that are still enjoyed all over the world - because people host servers all by themselves. Don't give us this patronizing crap.

Then there's also single-player games. Those require no server infrastructure AT ALL. So shut fuck up.

And, by the way, theoretically, you can make a federated game server. It's a huge undertaking, but it potentially can make your MMO game immortal. Not that you're interested.
