Thats Not What Dedicated Servers Means

Microsoft has no Money for Servers.... That's not what dedicated servers means. Dedicated servers means they make a special server-only executable that anyone can use to set up a server that they run 24/7 (Or not, I mean, you technically *could* run it only for specific hours or whatever).

Games like Minecraft (And most of its genre-children, of which this game IS one) usually have this. It doesn't require the publisher to actually run official servers, but it does make that possible, as well as allowing players to host their own servers on their own machines or on rented servers of one kind or another (Pro tip: Renting a cheap VPS and installing and administering the server executable on that yourself is almost always cheaper than paying for a managed "game server", but does require more knowledge).

This Problem is only present in 2 games, State of Decay 2 & Grounded. Both are published by Microsoft. I don't think Microsoft is interested in this service. I do know what dedicated servers are.
