I just want to point out that a good cannot be store of value unless it is also a medium of exchange. Here's why. Suppose you have some coins (like gold coins, or bitcoins) that you hold as a store of value. The only reason why these coins are valuable to you is that you know (or believe) that someone will accept them if you want to sell them. If someone did not want to accept them (i.e. _exchange_ something for them), they would have no _value_ for you. In other words, they cannot be a store of _value_ unless they have _exchange_ value. The reasoning above applies to any good which does not have direct use value.

Thanks for your comment Digital_Quartz.

For some games it might be possible to move substantial logic on the server. These may be: 1) games where there are no strict lag requirements (e.g. adventure games, puzzle games like Puzzle Pirates); 2) games where the needed bandwidth for each client is small and the client does some prediction and/or interpolation.

It is true that you have the additional cost of the server (which would need a lot of bandwidth _and_ computational power); but this cost might be more than compensated by the additional income due to less "piracy". (Or it might not.)
