Is it required to call ShutdownMultiplayerServer, or is it enough to just shutdown the exe?

In legacy matchmaking/servers, I shutdown the server after the session is finished by calling:

Process.GetCurrentProcess().CloseMainWindow();  

Environment.Exit(0);

Is this sufficient for servers 2.0? or do I need to call ShutdownMultiplayerServer?

What would happen if I shut down the exe without calling ShutdownMultiplayerServer and vice versa?

ShutdownMultiplayerServer should only be called by external tools. Calling that API calls the OnShutdown method of the GSDK, which your application needs to handle. In Unity, we shutdown our servers in Thunderhead (Servers 2.0) by calling Application.Quit() (the equivalent of Alt+F4) when all players have exited/disconnected from the server OR in the OnShutdown method.
