I used to do that in Counter-Strike Source days and it wasn't even worth it back then. I was losing about $100/mo but still did it for the fun. Also got booted off multiple providers for the inevitable DDoS attacks you get as retailation because some mad kid lost a match and wants to ruin the fun for everyone.
Learned a lot about Linux administration though, and UDP flood mitigation :)

I run a game server hosting company that loses me about $300 a month.

I think you mean you have an expensive hobby.
Do you have a plan to fix that?
I can pair down a machine if I migrate some users, however its a competitive market, and hard to sign up (and more so to maintain paying users)
That sounds like a good business not to have, then.
