I'm not sure why you would want to keep statistics on dead games, such as the ones that failed to ever actually start, though. Given that a game will likely have at least one false start, wouldn't it better if the failed game could just be completely expunged, freeing the port as well? Freeing up the port is a non-issue. I'll have a port-reclaiming feature ready way before we use up the 200 ports currently allocated.
I would like the statistics --- for fun. (Yes, I'm a mathematician, can't help it). And perhaps one could imagine gamers who would avoid game creators with many games that have been restarted? I would, at least.
