Yes, but itโ€™s still a major challenge.

Iโ€™m responding to the claim that โ€It's not a challengeโ€ and that the game developers can just โ€release the server for freeโ€. It might be doable, but not easy. Especially when thereโ€™s a lot of time pressure involved.

    Maybe I made it sound too easy because I'm used to do it and I find more challenging to add security features for authentication or to use some licensed libraries ๐Ÿ˜… that's a bias on my part.

    Still I am not a good developer, and I have done it. Even the industry has done it, just look at all the downloadable servers on Steam, some of them even free. I expected it will not be difficult for experienced developers to comply.
