are you even allowed to host dedicated servers for console games? i don’t think we’ll ever get those sadly, they’re stuck on offical ps/ms/nintendo/game company hosted servers without a way to spin one up and have users join those (which completely goes against online subscription fees for the consoles).

They used to have them for some OG xbox games and PS2 games.

I mean hosting a game via a server binary you’re hosting, not your game console acting as a dedicated server. I believe Mecassault for Xbox had lobbies you would manually join because it was pre-matchmaking and some players would mic check you too.

What do you think the game console is doing when you are running a dedicated server on it? 🤨
