We don't block it.  FWIW, we have had few problems (and none in the last few years ) with online games.

Now that our bandwidth has increased more users are jumping back on our network.  As a result I am getting a lot of 
requests to open ports for online gaming.
What is your policy on opening ports on the student side for gaming or other applications?
