A StarCraft-Inspired RTS Lost Multiplayer Thanks to AI

by

Hathora announced on April 1, 2026, that the online multiplayer for Frost Giant Studios’ real-time strategy game, Stormgate, will be shut down in early May. This decision comes after Hathora was acquired by Fireworks AI. Stormgate, released in Summer 2025, received mixed reviews, but the bigger concern is what this means for game development. Hathora provided servers for Stormgate, and their new partnership with an AI company has led to the game losing its online functionality. Frost Giant Studios will now need to update Stormgate to allow players to enjoy it offline.

House of the Dragon Can’t Remain Accurate to the Books Until It Undoes S2’s Biggest Plot Point

by

Without giving away too much, this war has a devastating outcome for everyone involved. The Targaryen family nearly disappeared, and although Aegon survived his sister, he was left with the difficult task of rebuilding the kingdom. A major challenge is how history remembers Rhaenyra in the present day – she’s largely known as a princess and a betrayer. However, the show portrays her as a rightful queen. After Rhaenyra’s death, the story will need to explain how Aegon works to change the public’s view of her and erase the idea that she could have legitimately been queen.

5 Most Accurate Hulk Scenes in the Marvel Movies (Compared to the Comics)

by

The Hulk first appeared in live-action form in November 1977 with a TV movie starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, which led to a popular television series that lasted until 1982. This show heavily influenced how most people understood the sadness and struggle at the heart of Bruce Banner’s story. Years later, the Marvel Cinematic Universe continued this legacy, exploring Banner’s character in new ways through films featuring Edward Norton and then Mark Ruffalo. Ruffalo will reprise his role in the upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set to release on July 31, 2026. Though the movie versions of the Hulk have often taken creative chances, some scenes remain remarkably faithful to the original comic books.
