    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).

        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.
