Easier and cheaper to run your MP code as a plain old .NET process and client lib.

You are assuming you can divorce your authoritative server logic from Unity.

You can I believe - your server will end up being a standalone binary with all the necessary Unity things bundled in.

I believe the parent means writing your game logic in pure C# and avoiding the need for Unity entirely server side. For some types of games that’s doable, but when you start needing physics or nav agents or even animation driven logic a headless Unity binary is the only real option.

Or you could use nodejs & socket.io for the MP server which is even cheaper

Not sure how it's cheaper cost-wise, since the .NET runtime is free, but his solution avoids a re-write of game code in JS.
