As much as it sucks to see the Tribes franchise go down the hole, I’m not at all surprised that VUG stopped support for Tribes: Vengeance. Gamespot has an article about the recent cancellation of T:V patches and support. Here’s a quick blurb from the article:
As for reasons behind VUG’s decision to cease work on the update, VUG is stating little, although the game’s sales record may have been an influencing factor. The title has performed modestly at retail. According to NPD, Vengence has sold just over 43,000 units through February (which, by comparison, is less than 10 percent of what VUG’s Half-Life 2 has sold in about the same time).
Jeff Tunnell of GarageGames posted a very funny commentary on this situation. His numbers are guesstimates, but, considering Jeff’s vast knowledge of the industry, they’re probably not too far off.
