Do not trust ANYTHING from Hi-Rez / Prophecy Games studios.

Their CEO Erez is poison. Global Agenda, Tribes Ascend, Tribes 3, Starsiege, Palidins and on. SMITE was their baby, but they got the Hi-Rez shitfuckery in the end too.

Look at the bones!

They put up laughable paid alphas for Tribes 3 and Starsiege only to abandon them for SMITE 2 recently.

They create some cool concepts but Erez is a freeze-gamer seems to sabatoge his own games for EEEEEEEEEEE-spurtz constantly. Chopping the games ever to bits to cater to the very minor EEEEEEEEEEE-spurtz specific little niche and gripes.

Some casual ruins a pro streamer's streak? Obviously that's OP and needs to be nerfed to the ground! Over and over. Until the game is reduced to a very narrow niche upon a niche which the pro bois streamers have honed in and bitched enough to nerf any counter that the casuals end up draining out.

Erez apparently stepped down in 2019

Dayum that sucks. Tribes used to be sweet, didn't know it was the same company. I have been educated rat-salute

So that's why I'm not getting Cyberstorm 3. Tribes and Starsiege, also I guess, but more importantly no Cyberstorm.
