It is an engine that have several playerworlds, aka games, created. On the website it is not sold as a game, however, their playerworlds are being sold. Playerworlds are hosted by the so-called game.

Not every development tool is open source, far from it.

Doesn't change the fact that you yourself make the choice to pay and develop on of those servers, eventually contributing to making the hosting platform even bigger.
