tldr:-server hosting company got purchased-online services will continue until end of april-the game will be patched to be playable offline-if frost giant receives more funding they will bring servers back online
Get smoked, it was about time this piece of shit got put down.
The clowns who supported it for a hot minute should be publically shamedArtosis, Grubby, etc.
>orchestration partnerclott adams would've gotten a week of strips out of that term
i'm sure both remaining players will be very disappointed
Given shitgate player number, its coordinator server can be hosted on a single raspberry pi board
>>2371210My Casio calculator wouldn't even break a sweat
>>2371165Artosis never really shilled it, he gave it a try and gave his honest opinions that ended up being pretty accurateTasteless basically shilled it but I think he got disillusioned later on. He mentioned a few times while casting BW about how he talked to "RTS devs" and they believed perfect pathfinding/unit control was key to a good RTS and he disagrees with BW as an example. considering stormgate's pathfinding was something they were very proud of it's probably Frost Giant he's referring to
>>2371165Your favorite grubs sold out and went back to their normal programming.

>>2371347>Artosis never really shilled itHe literally did, casted it, gave it attention, said it has huge potentialgypsy said he couldn't believe how Fartosis could genuinely say these things
>>2371356Alright I consneed, I didn't know he said thatMy understanding was that he realized it wasn't gonna work out after that big tournament they had where the unfinished protoss expy race completely wiped the floor with everyone in a broken fashionSince he seemed pretty tepid about it from what I saw and was more interested in uhhh.... I think it was called battle aces?
>stormgate fukken dies>barely a dozen people even care enough to Post about itbleak. grim.
>>2371135STOP KILLING GAMESGrateful that they make SP playable. That's the important part.
>>2371384Is it though? It's nice the principle is there, Stormgate itself has no value at all
>>2371357>gypsy said he couldn't believe how Fartosis could genuinely say these thingsIt's annoying how Gypsy doesn't keep most of his stormgate critical videos up.Like a month ago he uploaded a video that seemed like it was 3 years old where he was calling stormgate for what it was, and then deleted it within a few days.I say it seemed like it was 3 years old, since he was showing tweets in the video, from people like Tasteless and Artosis that were hours old or so in the video, but they were tweets from like 2023, like it seemed he was sitting on it and uploaded it late, maybe it was a reupload that he had regretted because he doesn't wanna be too critical against artosis who I think might be a genuine friend of his, I am not entirely sure of the dynamic.There's this still at least:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDGnPaYgetw&t=230sHe's not great at making videos, but he's good at rts and I think he has a good sense of judgement when it comes to new rts.Like it was so obvious to me that Battle Aces and Stormgate weren't it, but you have these battered blizzard personalities who want the high of the 2011 sc2 esport scene. I love Tastosis, but I think they're basically compromised when it comes to judging a new rts that looks like it has esports appeal.We need more haters like Gypsy, aka truthspeakers.
>>2371135
>>2371165>Grubbyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-K-2ec0qfsHe was pretty critical
>>2371393>It's annoying how Gypsy doesn't keep most of his stormgate critical videos up.>Like a month ago he uploaded a video that seemed like it was 3 years old where he was calling stormgate for what it was, and then deleted it within a few days.because he's a huge bitch with an extreme narcissist personality disorder, the thought of other people judging him badly for what he says lives rent free in his head 24/7
>>2371393>I love Tastosis, but I think they're basically compromised when it comes to judging a new rts that looks like it has esports appeal.Let's start with the fact that Tasteless' mom was on the board of Frost Giant.
>>2371406He's just a sensitive guy
>>2371428He can dish out shit but he can't take it. His words btw
>>2371407Meanwhile Day9 gave Stormgate a 1-2/10.Tasteless has always been especially quick to shill though.
>>2371435Because Day9 already made it, has loads of money from youtube, event industry host jobs, collabs, etc he doesn't give a fuck about Frost Giant chump change.Tasteless on the other hand is a has-been smoker alcoholic living in one of the most expensive countries in the world who struggles to hit 2k views on his youtube channels, even though he does all the basedface things other do.For him, the chump change is another johnny walker and a pack of smokes and takeout fried chicken
>>2371434btw since you seem to know him better than I do, is he actually a gypsy?I learned he was romanian, but romanian=/=romani(gypsy) so not sure if he just thought it was the same thing and called him gypsy because of that, or because he's actually a gypsy.
>>2371403Yeah you're right, he made many good points
>>2371445He's an obnoxious shitskin, if he says he is a gypsy, he is. No actual gypsy in the world is proud of being a gypsy, but he can live a comfortable shitskin life in Canada or wherever he migrated
>>2371446lel,the devs actually watched his stream.Pretty sure they didn't listen to any of the criticism
>>2371454They didn't listen to ANY criticism from the moment they announced the game. They vehemently opposed any and all idea that maybe a micro-focused marvel-esque colorful quippy RTS that's a shameless copy paste of starcraft and diablo factions is not a very good idea. They told everyone to eat shit.I distinctly remember some early tester leaving feedback that the game feels and looks like a marvel movie and the response was "this is intended"
>>2371454>"Lots of the game is still early as far as art, including placeholder assets.">"Yeah I saw some placeholder assets, but I don't expect a full rework anymore, right Frostgiant?"so funny how a minute into the video they're in chat trying to argue against his feedback lol
without a faction of talking food, this game was doomed from the start
>>2371384>STOP KILLING GAMESStormgate was never alive. To put it in a necromatic perspective:A con-artist starts a cult claiming he can summon the soul of a mythic hero and imbue him in a new body, a ferverous cult forms around his baseless claims.The con-artist milks his newfound fool-of-a-cult of their belongings in order to fuel his half-baked ritual, whilst siphoning of heavy portion for his personal use.The half-baked ritual concludes, no soul is summoned and the con-artist is left with a rotting undead corpse.The now-exposed charlatan attempts to blame outsiders for his failure. He promises that he will succeed the next time but by this time the cult has disbanded.
>>2371391The principle itself is enough of a value by setting a precedent, establishing industry standards, and making players more mindful of game preservation. If crappy games can be kept playable, why should good ones die.
>>2371381>Game "dies" because its online server host was bought out by an "AI" company>Game is still being supported>People should care more about some off-brand game than "AI" killing the games industry or the continued problem of devs not just allowing you to host your own servers
