    What? Apples and oranges. Game servers are centrally hosted. You can already host private servers in some of these, like Minecraft, it’s just not federated with other servers because that kind of defeats the point of private servers.

      Not for the account servers. Account servers can connect to the game server and merge the data from the payers in it. If multiple accounts from the account server join that same game server the data from those accounts get merged before being sent back to the game server to lighten the load on that server. Like multiple users from other instances to a community on one instance in PieFed/MBin.

      For private servers it internally can be secured with an auth token, encryption and/or its literally just a whitelist

      This and the game server will be a part of an instance which does both (game server for one, account server for the other)
