Linux Tribes 2 on Track -- 11:15 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Michael Vance, the programmmer who had been working on the Linux port of Tribes 2 for Loki made a post on Linux Games saying that the port is up-to-date with the Win32 version and on Voodoo Extreme that the port has been passed on to another programmer since he is leaving Loki.

This issue is a good example of everything that's wrong with online gaming media. One site proclaimed the port was "borked?" another exclaimed "No Linux Tribes 2?" Hey folks, get the facts. This irresponsible reporting caused an awful lot of (gullible) people to freak out on messageboards, not because there were any facts behind the situation, but some sites felt like posting without verifying. And then we wonder why developers like 3D Realms say nothing about their upcoming products?
