$35 million in crowdfunding later, Warcraft-inspired RTS from Starcraft devs is leaving early access unfinished at version 0.6, not 1.0 – so it's replacing numbers with codenames, which is worse

Stormgate.

It's more common than ever for games to start out in early access before launching fully. But, gamers are pretty savvy, and some have noticed Warcraft-inspired RTS game Stormgate will be leaving early access in version 0.6. Now, I may have only gotten a B in my maths A-level, but that's less than 1.0, something others have pointed out, too.

As reported by our friends over at PC Gamer, Stormgate developer Frost Giant Studios is going to be launching the game's single-player campaign on August 5, 2025, and leaving Steam early access. Traditionally, the launch version of a game is labeled 1.0 or higher, due to day-one patches and last-minute hotfixes.
