>"The Out of the Blue update removes several features implemented in order to make Tribes: Ascend work as a free-to-play game—classes, for example, as well as a massive number of ‘sidegrades’ for each weapon archetype. This directly makes the game less viable as a business venture. I ask McBride if this means the decision to return to the game was more ‘heart’ than ‘head’."

>“The intention is to at least stretch it out over a longer tail, so, if we do need to leave it, we’ll have a planned date, so we can make sure everything’s in order. We didn’t do that last time. It was like ‘we all need to go onto Smite, right now.’”
So they're going to put it on life support now after killing it? What a joke

It could have rivaled tf2 and cs:go in player bases, but noooooo, lets milk it for as much as possible as soon as possible.
Can someone summarise what happened to tribes ascend?
I remembee the game had a huge following and then it just completely tanked.

Have you been sent by Hi-Rez to advertise Tribes?
I can't imagine many people actually still caring about Tribes
Honestly my toaster being incapable of running T:A well enough at the time it was big on /v/ is one of my biggest gaming regrets
