@ANON - That is not publicly available. When the founders created GG, they were only able to take some of the source code, which was used to create TGE. TGE has evolved over time to eventually become Torque 3D, which was the next version after TGEA. TGEA was the engine that was used for Legions, the spiritual successor to Tribes 2.

Oh I heard from wikipedia."In March 2009, GarageGames announced they had purchased the Intellectual property and source code for Starsiege: Tribes and would be releasing it at PlayTribes.com."

But I guess you don't believe everything on the internet.

@ANON - That was partially true. The company had been rebranded, called InstantAction. IA purchased the rights and source for Tribes. They were going to release the game, but no the source code. Then InstantAction shutdown. GarageGames, LLC was created in 2011 as a separate company. We only purchased the rights to the Torque engines, none of the games.
