I will say that for the longest time, the dedicated server issue simply baffled me.  The people who were pro-change sounded a lot saner than the people who were against, and there wasn't much in the way of coherence for the pro-dedicated server crowd.
 
At least I felt this way until I read this article.
 
Now their side of the argument makes a lot more sense, and I'll probably use this as a personal reminder not to assume the fervent folks in an argument automatically have nothing sane backing them up.
 
I'm disinterested in the whole debate (note that doesn't mean I'm uninterested-- different meanings), so I don't see the point in laying down a verdict on anything.  This may be the way things swing, at least for a time, but I imagine it won't necessarily be the case with every game producer.  I think it's possible that some will step up to give the people dissatisfied with the current trend what they want.  I guess we'll see.
