I start: Satisfactory - because having your production running 24/7 really makes this game even more enjoyable and satisfying. There are just docker container for the server out there.

What games do get better for you trough selfhosting the server?

Just like Satisfactory: Farming Simulator xD With a dedicated server you can choose to keep the sim running while no players are logged in.

It only sucks that they dont offer the server software as a standalone independent free software. Instead you need to buy another copy of the game to run the server with, and im pretty sure if you want to use DLCs, you need to buy those for the server too. Mods of course exist and make some of the paid DLC less interesting. Still not a great practice. Other games only require the host to own DLC and each connecting player can make use of them, while playing on that server. Imo this leads to making a game much more interesting to a small group of friends.
