As soon as somebody invests in a dedicated game server (both development and a few expensive high-end machines around the world) that will act as a host for all games without actually playing.

Development part would be sufficient, hosts could be temporarily registered by users on main lobby or maybe even act like lobby by itself.
This would be render less instance controlled through command line console or GUI sitting in system tray.
But this would require really lots of work...

If someone drops out, would it be possible to have an AI temporarily take over their player slot so that the game can continue?
