"All players have left the game before it started."

[TheNameWasTaken]

Every now and then a turn-based game I joined is canceled with that message in the title, but I know for a fact that I did not leave the game. I've been online all that time and clicked nothing. If it was just once or twice, I'd think that maybe the host kicked me out for some reason, but it seems to be happening more often than that. Is there some process that automatically kills not-yet-started turn based games or something?

Some games seem to get automatically cancelled if they take too long to get the required number of players. Which is frustrating for those of us happy to wait.

The wording of the message you quote feels misleading.

Experienced that too

I do think this is what happens when a turn-based game hasn't gotten enough players to start in ... maybe two days? Or three? Something like that, and it gets automatically cancelled. The message is just lying, though, and ought to be fixed. (I mean, technically maybe the auto-cancel process first removes all the players, and then something else kicks in because they're all gone, but they didn't choose to leave so it's still basically a lie in this situation)
