Tribes 2 was not a commercial flop, it did extremely well for a 2001 game.
The studio (Dynamix) did not "go under", they were closed by Sierra/Vivendi for "restructuring", which was a shock considering the success of Tribes 2. In fact, the next game (Tribes: Vengeance) was green-lighted due to in large part the success of Tribes 2.
GarageGames was partly made up of some ex-Dynamix employees.
