That sucks so hard srsly but that was obvious anyway.Don't forget that some (and not a few) players play ut3, thinkin' :" ok i will play this dead game a bit more waiting the new :q" , but with the hope of a new ut gone, u can expect that some players, i mean the "goodz", will let the game away day by day as soon as they will know the bad new.
U will say: "let the game day by day? HUmm that's what happen since xxxx months". Ok. but now, they will know that nothing will come soon (and imo more than 2 years), so the "exodus" will be more important. It's just UNFORTUNATELY dead
