What was the companies total profit for the franchise would be a factor in estamating its value.

for the franchise as a whole? really low i bet. TV made no money, T1 probably made a decent amount, but only needing one CD for every neighborhoods worth of players probably damaged its profits a bit.

T2 is probably the only one that actually paid for itself in the end.

either way, the franchise is compltely fucking dead, and the only reason they'd hold on to it is to prevent ANYONE ELSE from profiting off it.
 
a franchise's value doesn't simply come down to how much $ per unit sold. for instance, how many tribes 2 and tribes 3 wouldve been sold without such a great tribes 1? the impact of tribes 1 is far greater than its predecessors.
 
I'm not offended as much by the fact they chose to axe the servers, but rather by the fact it's getting axed with so many shitty games.
 
This pretty much has to be posted here.

Where's a time machine when you need one. This was all very easily preventable.
