Game servers should NEVER be closed down

I'm assuming it's not just me, but isn't it kinda crazy that this has become a standard practice? It made some sense in the past but nowadays it doesn't imo with the power of the cloud. Plus more and more games have online components so this is becoming a bigger and bigger problem.

Old games should be grouped together and run off the same servers as a shared online system. Per game you might have just a handful of people per week but the overall system would have regular traffic. Think of it like how a website can have millions of unique pages all hosted on a single server. Adding additional games (web pages) to this system would be essentially free.
