At that point, would a cheap VPS not work instead?

No. Game servers usually want high clock speed.

You’d just use the VPS as a proxy with a publicly accessible IP, and tunnel the connection back to your home. That would add latency that might be undesirable for a game, but maybe not.

Unless you're playing something like a turn based game, adding latency/hops is almost never desirable. Every multi-player game that I play is latency sensitive (and I don't play FPS games.)

The server in this case was the PC version of ARK which nom nom noms all the CPU/RAM.

Run a cluster of 12 Ark servers. Can confirm.
