AI takeover forces Stormgate multiplayer servers offline

Stormgate's multiplayer servers will go offline at the end of April after its server provider was acquired by Fireworks AI.

Frost Giant said it will patch the game so it can run offline, but online modes will be unavailable until a new partner is found.

Hathora, the hosting provider, is being repurposed for AI inference workloads and plans to migrate gaming customers to Nitrado.

The outage highlights a broader risk where AI-driven infrastructure changes can remove access to multiplayer services that rely on third-party hosting.
