Stormgate, a game made by former StarCraft 2 developers, aimed to "boldly advance" real-time strategy games by lowering the barrier to entry in an otherwise inaccessible genre. Three years after its release into early access, however, Stormgate is being pulled offline. Unlike most games facing a potential shutdown, Stormgate's shift has nothing to do with success or player count. Instead, it's the result of a server provider being taken over by an AI company that doesn't want to share its resources.
