Not in any way shape or form defending Nitrasho or Snail games here but you are way off. I've spent over 20 years in data centers, storage/vmware etc plus have my own home small data center. Electric is only a part of it. Servers cost 5k + (for cheap servers) depending on load out,windows and vmware licensing, cooling (a massive cost), UPS backups, Diesel Generators for the data center, Support staff to service/maintain them, service contracts with HPE/Dell etc to cover hardware failures, data center rent or if they own them upkeep and payments and the list goes on. Now I've seen the minuscule resources Nitrasho gives their Ark servers to run and it's no shock everyone is screaming about the crashing and poor performance.
All that aside what everyone is missing is Nitrasho was acquired by Flex Capital which means they were floundering and Flex is going to suck them dry and spit them out eventually, hopefully before their 100 year (yes I'm exaggerating) agreement with Snail runs out.
