In any case, online gaming needs to become profitable before Sega can benefit.

True, but it won't be Sega taking the big risks. They'll just be licensing "SNAP" to developers to use and integrate into their games. If the game is unprofitable or bombs I don't think that will effect Sega directly, only indirectly in that developers would be less interested in online games if they can't pull a profit.

Not sure it needs fixing.

I guess the thread title made me think that all online PS2 and GC games would be online through Sega, which in fact, is not the case.

No, not all. Just the ones that wish to use SNAP Hosting.
