Yes, but you can find a wireless bridge for $50.
It used to be the case that a gaming adapter would only work for a
single wired ethernet device, and that you couldn't put multiple devices
behind it. There was a (somewhat) legitimate technical reason for this,
as the gaming adapter did not actually work in the same way as a
wireless bridge. I do not know whether that is still true of gaming
adapters sold today.
