StarCraft Developers Raise Millions for New RTS Stormgate, Invite Fans to Invest for 'Happiness' Over Profits
- Stormgate is an upcoming RTS game from Frost Giant, a studio created by former StarCraft 2 developers
- After raising $34.7 million from investors and $2.38 million on Kickstarter, Frost Giant is now inviting players to invest in the company directly
- Frost Giant says it's doing this for more independence from big publishers and to "prioritize worker and player happiness"
- Details are vague about what investors would get in return or how much of the company remains owned by developers
- Stormgate aims to enter Early Access in 2024 as a free-to-play game, hoping to capture the spirit of StarCraft 2 for the RTS e-sports scene
