How can it not though? It takes up time and manpower. Even if they're outsourcing it: unless somebody else is paying for it: it's eating up their funding.

Disagree. It's only useful for service model games that need to pad out their queues, or for P2P games where pub sessions are very common. For small local hosted servers, like you have in Valheim, where modding is a big deal: it's a total waste of time because it's only useful for an incredibly small segment of the user base.
