Sure, but in recent games you also wouldn't talk about having "your own server" or joining "a server" - you're joining a match or a world or similar. You might refer to "the game's servers" if they happen to be down or overloaded or something, but it's less common these days to talk about a specific server. The exception, of course, being games for which it is actually still possible to run your own servers. Minecraft comes to mind.

> or joining "a server" > recent games You absolutely would. Just because maybe you're playing overwatch or league or something, doesn't mean this isn't still a hugely popular paradigm.

  In my 10+ years playing league and 2 years playing overwatch I never heard someone refer to the current game as "server". People still have a vague image of what a server looks like and know that company hosted games typically don't respond to that image.

    ...and that's why I said you would say otherwise if you were playing league and overwatch.
