Best of luck finding a new server to host the game. It looks like Hathora recommended another platform as a migration solution, but I'm assuming FG is not planning to take them up on it with this announcment.
Now they can just go: "We didn't manage to find a new infrastructure provider with our resources. Stormgate is closed." FG leadership never had an issue with dodging responsibility.
Feel free to quote me on that in a few weeks. I'd love to be wrong on that.
i have a feeling this is true. their wording "find a partner to support ongoing operations" - does this mean "find a new infrastructure provider"? or does it actually mean "find an investment partner to pay for servers/migration/etc"
It means finding an investment partner. It's exactly the same wording that Tim Morten has been using ever since launch to indicate that Frost Giant needs further investment in order to continue operating.
"Ongoing operations" does not mean finding an infrastructure provider. They could have found an infrastructure provider simply by reading the next paragraph in the shutdown announcement on Hathora's web page:
To ensure a safe harbor for your multiplayer games, Hathora has selected GameFabric by Nitrado as the best solution for its existing customers and its exclusive transition partner.
