You should have added this to your pitch, above. I think your pricing is fantastic, but mentioning that you are willing to go even further for people who really need the help would have probably garnered a lot of goodwill around here.
No doubt, gaming support has been a serious business for a while. Far beyond the gold farming, item trade, and "pay me for voice chat" underground.
I'd take a bet that almost everybody reading this who cares about cloud providers has come into contact with companies who started out by providing servers and administration services for Counter Strike or Minecraft.
That's it, I am done. No more serious IT work for me.
I am going to become a gamers consultant.

You can get a volume license by buying a bunch of licenses for stuff that's $5-$10 per user. You'll still end up with a total of ~$300 (Including one LTSC license), but it is entirely legal and supported by Microsoft.
