I'm sure the servers you describe cost money to maintain each month. $9.95 boxed set from everyone may maintain it for one year.... But how many people would switch to that server? EVERYONE! Why pay $10/mo for 60 extra zones unless you're uber?? How many of us were uber when we quit? I know I wasn't, and I bet a lot of the silent majority of users weren't either. They don't mind losing us. A lot of us paying a little bit of money really doesn't compare with their pools of people willing to pay a fortune. It's supply and demand. If they limit the supply to a happy medium, they make the most money. When it all comes down to it, you're looking at economics, calculus and an intersecting line. The deciding members of Sony will follow that line until it is no longer returning as much money as other ventures. And they won't clean up after themselves either. They will end services, lock code, and move on.
