It seems like the most realistic option to me since I doubt the masses wanna get into self hosting.

You only need these services as part of a gaming community.

I think you'd have a hard time finding a gaming community that didn't contain at least a few people who could handle installing a docker container on a VPS.

The trade off, to save minimal administrative overhead (compared to moderation and such), you give up complete control over how your system is run, how your data is divulged and any control over future cost increases.

Everyone should be self-hosting (and also running Linux, but we'll beat that horse later) if they're running a gaming community.
