I could see the point of doing it for fun if it wasn't for the fact  
that servers and bandwidth cost money. BattleMaster gets around that  
thanks to player donations but I suspect it's a rare exception, and I  
wouldn't want to ruin a game with advertising or by giving paying  
players a competitive edge over their non-paying counterparts as that  
sucks.
