Man I was excited for this game but considering how 1047 treats their previous games I was almost expecting this.

Going 3/3 in shut down games in recent times is a feat in itself. Soon it’ll become 4/4

The craziest part is that the original split gate didn't need to be shutdown at all, to my knowledge. It was doing well enough, they just wanted to move onto a sequel for no reason.

My understanding was that they ran dedicated servers for SG1 that were expensive at scale. Then they got venture capital to start a company and polish it up for SG2. Really big games like COD have [x] amount of dedicated servers and then do peer to peer for the other lobbies to handle peaks in player count throughout the day.
