while im not going to look up every game you listed, games like cs are modded by players and then hosted by the player, but its not on dedicated servers. ps3 (360 cant but thats a different discussion) can support the same thing thats happening in this situation, it just hasnt happened yet. cant really help your argument that consoles are hurting pc gaming

Umm...

So yes, they do have dedicated servers... 

as ive never done it before i cant be positive which, but thats either something thats going to be ran off your own, home computer (which is not a dedicated server, and also quite illegal), in which case they are using the term dedicated server very loosly (and innapropriately), or its ran by steam in which case it defeats the purpose of your argument.

either way, ps3 can support the same thing, which doesnt help  your argument that console gaming is hurting computer gaming

ONE. IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO RUN SERVERS AT HOME. AND CALLING IT A SERVER IS COMPLETELY LEGAL BECAUSE IT IS A SERVER YOUR HOSTING!!!

TWO. YOU CAN RUN A SERVER OFF A HOME PC. HOW DO YOU THINK PEOPLE RUN DLNA MEDIA SERVERS? MAGIC?

THREE. IF YOU RUN A PC, AND LEAVE IT ON WITH A SERVER APPLICATION RUNNING CONSTANTLY, ITS A SERVER!!!! ITS JUST THAT YOU CANNOT USE THAT PC FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT A SERVER UNTIL YOU SHUT THE SERVER(S) DOWN!

FOUR. A SERVER IS PC. SO A PC IS A SERVER. YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WTF YOUR DOING!!!!!.  

FIVE. THE CONSOLE GAME WARHAWK ALLOWED YOU TO HOST A DEDICATED SERVER OFF YOUR OWN CONSOLE, HELL IT GIVES YOU A TROPHY FOR IT. GUESS WHAT? WHEN THE SERVER SOFTWARE IS RUNNING, YOU CANNOT PLAY THE GAME UNTIL YOU SHUTDOWN THE SERVER!!!

SIX. YOU DO NOT NEED A LICENSE TO RUN A PRIVATE SERVER FROM YOUR ISP. NOT A PRIVATE GAME SERVER. MAYBE IF YOU PLAN ON HAVING IT RUN 24/7 365, HAVE WEBSITES ON IT, AND MANY OTHER RELATED THINGS,  BUT IF YOUR GOING TO DO THAT, WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE AN ISP WHEN YOU CAN BE YOUR OWN ISP?

 

I hate typing in all caps.. but geez, you made me have to do it.
