Multiplayer game ends when host leaves.

I've played a few games where the host is bought out, so he/she reasonably leaves the game, and then everyone else is booted to the title screen.

It's a very frustrating way to end a game.

Host migration is something that we're working hard to get in as soon as possible, but we are probably weeks away.

I added some nagging messages so that the host knows that they're going to kill the game if they quit, but that is obviously not going to fix people rage-quitting.

Thanks!

Scott,

Hopefully the nags work. I've finished less than half my mp games due to the host quitting.

Not really a complaint (you gave fair warning about this), just more of a heads up as to how common of an issue it really is.
