there are other ways you can satisfy clause 13, namely, the usual

The license does not require you to provide your own "network server" to indicate anything. All you need is to include is a pointer to *a* network server hosting the code.
That is, if you're hosting a modified version of a game server, you're required to "prominently offer" players the URL of a location on "a network server" which hosts a diff of your minor changes, a tarball of files you've replaced, a VCS branch with your changes applied on top of the version you forked from, or a full copy of the version you're running.
This can be Savannah, shifting the hosting cost to the FSF/GNU if you feel it's too much. They'll gladly host your modified code for free, as will a number of different groups.
In the case of PySoy, we'll gladly host PySoy-based games, branch of our engine, or branch of any dependency. I see this as a convience to us and our users.
