The Tribes community is up in arms over an announcement from Sierra/Vivendi Universal Games (VUG) to drop support for multiplayer shooter Tribes: Vengeance.
There was only a brief message on the game's official message boards from associate brand marketing manager Guy Welch. "Development on the previously announced Tribes: Vengeance 1.1 update has been cancelled," he said. "No further updates to Tribes: Vengeance are planned."
Welch has not responded to requests for comment as of press time. Board member 'ipv6' had a quick explanation for the publisher's silence on the issue. "They are a business. There isn't a need to explain to their customers because well ... customer service isn't one of their priority," he said in a thread.
Frustrated gamers are taking the situation into their own hands, organizing boycotts of VUG products. "I will not ever buy any of their products again," said board user 'darkaynjil', adding he is "in the process of writing several magazines whose focus is PC gaming about their lack of support and the bugs in their programs."
