I believe they are in the process of sunsetting HipChat. It was not successful.
They gave us a deadline to move (~2000 users). So we're just getting the Slack business case ready. If we have to move AND pay more money anyway, then why not just go to Slack?

It seems it stagnated. There wasn’t a real competitor to it until Slack turned up and developed a fantastic integration ecosystem (I don’t think there would be such a focus on conversational UI were it not for Slack, whether or not they intended that). By that time it was already too late, HipChat is old school, Slack is the new hotness. Anecdotally, anyone working in a startup with an opinion on design will know how…
To be fair, Hipchat is missing a lot of features that Slack has.
Haven't used Stride yet but as someone who hates always-on chat I could see myself really appreciating its deep work oriented features: mute notifications, allow others in the channel to mark things as "task", "decision", "outcome" so you can go back and find important things you missed while deep working. https://www.stride.com

I know it sounds silly but I believe the main reason for HipChat failing is mostly because the name was so uncool.
Uptime wasn't the greatest at a critical moment when Slack was gaining market share as well.

Stride is a complete rewrite.
Any sources on that? I'm pretty sure it's a heavy re-architecting at the very least, but if it's the same team and lead, have they gone entirely from scratch or repurposed some of Hipchat's code? (just questioning) Not curious enough to do the kind of blackbox exploration folks at https://webrtchacks.com or other sites do :)
Stride is a brand new product (not a rebrand of Hipchat), we did not repurpose Hipchat's code. It's built from ground up on Atlassian platform - new protocol, clients, platform, etc. One exception is the video bridge technology which remains powered by the Jitsi.org open source product (which we acquired in 2015). I do look after both products (Hipchat Cloud and Stride) for Atlassian, happy to answer questions.
