If they need 1000 of those that is $45000 and considering that Activision will make over $1bn per quarter period, I'm fairly certain they can afford to install and maintain servers. Also EA have them so what's stopping Activision investing into these I don't know. Activision are putting themselves at a genuine business disadvantage. [spoiler]I know they probably won't cost $45000 bit I'm very certain that bungvision can afford this. [/spoiler]
