Re: Help!!! Gate creation question.
Not necessarily.
It is something from the definition given that once created is self-sustaining, usable by anyone at need. GM dictates the needs by way of the plot. If it is in the best interest of the plot that it doesn't work, gets broken or other, then that is what happens. This is outside of the ability of the PCs to affect.
Otherwise, if it is a personal ability, then it becomes a teleport with bells and whistles attached, and then the points need to be paid.
