Bad news for trivia junkies with free time on Saturday nights: Xbox Live’s game show 1 vs 100 has been canceled, reports Kotaku. Microsoft Game Studios manager Dave McCarthy said the decision was made to put the team on new projects rather than pursue another season of the game show.
“When we started this journey, we knew we were creating an entirely new genre of entertainment that would be a continually evolving concept,” he said. “We’re very proud of the ‘1 vs 100’ team and their accomplishments, and are excited to apply what we’ve learned to future programming.” The team is said to be “focusing their skills and applying the technology used to develop 1 vs 100 to new projects that will be unveiled in the future.”
The game lasted for two, 14-episode seasons — which, by the way, is how long the Bob Saget-hosted TV show of the same name lasted as well. Something about the show just can’t seem to make it past the 28-episode hump, but maybe Microsoft’s next game show will have a little more luck.
