"Stormgate developer Frost Giant announced some 'unfortunate news' in the game's official Discord server, stating that Hathora, the game's server orchestration partner, has been bought by an AI company. This acquisition likely means that Hathora's server and computing resources will be applied to supporting AI services instead of online multiplayer."
"Frost Giant says the game will be 'patched so that it can be played offline' before the end of April, but online multiplayer modes will no longer be available. The developers expressed hope to restore online play in a future patch, dependent on finding a partner to support ongoing operations."
"The lack of an offline mode has been something the community around Stormgate has complained about for some time now. Frost Giant has claimed in the past that it was planning to add an offline mode, but it just wasn't a 'main focus.'"
Stormgate, a free-to-play RTS game, faces challenges as its online multiplayer provider, Hathora, has been acquired by an AI company. This acquisition means that Hathora's resources will be redirected away from supporting Stormgate's online services. As a result, the game will lose server access by the end of April, making it unplayable unless an offline mode is implemented. The developers, Frost Giant, are working on a patch to enable offline play, although online multiplayer will remain unavailable until a new partner is found.
