This is very true. But never underestimate the cost of running gameservers in cloud. For us (with really good discounts and a fantastic custom made predictive auto-scaler) it was still more than double the cost than using our previously used bare-metal outsourcing provider.

The cost difference would have been enough to hire 2.5x my team as additional resources, but that differs with scale (and so do the discounts)… So YMMV.
