Well, no. But both are paid from the same wallet, right? Or else someone from the development team *coughYoshicough* would need to go to the people holding said wallet and go, "can we pretty please have some more money? it's an investment, really," and the stingy people holding said wallet (because let's face it, they're always stingy) would go, "um. we'll consider it." Because... it's not exactly a cheap thing to replace servers. Especially since, for inscrutable reasons, companies get charged more for services and products like that than a non-corporate person would. At least they are where I live.
