I remember looking into the feasability of something like this about 3-4 years ago when I was working on a social game with ~10 million DAU. Our bandwidth costs for static files were really really high even with a big discount from S3 because we were a heavy user. It's awesome to see that it is finally a reality.

With things like this, getting exposure isn't a matter of having the money to host your content, but simply a matter of being popular. The more popular you are, the more likely that you can offload static file hosting to those consuming your content.
