As everyone knows, multiplayer is better than single player, and as the geeks among us know, there's a set of multiplayer games, like
Minecraft and
Urban Terror, that offer software that allows gamers to host their own servers. For games like Minecraft, running your own server means that you don't have to be subject to the rules and regulations of other hosts -- you get to invite all of your friends into your world to play, and you get to set the rules. While this can make the game experience infinitely more fun, gamers have to rent their own servers for $70 a month, be their own sysadmin, and are thus subject to their system's RAM and CPU constraints. In other words, for hardware novices, the process can get complicated. This is where
Minefold enters into the picture. Minefold, a new Y Combinator startup launching today, wants to be a more consumer-focused Amazon EC2 for the multiplayer gaming world, offering on-demand game servers for a nominal monthly fee ($5).
