    There's more than just server hosting costs to consider. There's also any residuals to be paid to actors, plus the administration costs to figure out the residuals costs. I'm certain that some soulless beancounter(s) ran some numbers on it all, and couldn't provide a clear "hosting these will not lose money" case to some VP.

      Also licensed music and some of these are existing IPs which surely require more payouts to use.
