Offworld Forums
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.
From the gameplay page:
[...] Test your skill in an Internet game against your friends. EARLY ACCESS NOTE: Matchmaking, hosted servers, leagues and ladders will all be part of the Offworld Trading Company experience...later. As of our initial Early Access launch, you have to invite opponents to your games manually.
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.
