Tribes 3: Rivals already in trouble as developers shift focus elsewhere. "Neither game had enough success yet to support the studio" (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

A good Tribes game is not in the cards right now. Players should try harder to be entertained.

(this is a play on a quote from the admins of an old Hi-Rez game called Global Agenda. During the nightly clan vs clan competitive "global map" window, the game was broken, matches wouldn't load or crash part-way through. Players submitted a ton of tickets, and some of them were not constructive and just said "Fix the game". Admins got butt-hurt and spammed the entire player-base with "Fixing the game is not in the cards right now. Players should try harder to win."... I am still very salty about that...)

Edit: Oddly enough, this was right after they launched Tribes: Ascend, just to bring the leap of context full circle.
