Microsoft will not be holding a third season of 1 vs. 100 on Xbox Live. Kotaku confirmed the sad news with Microsoft Game Studios’ General Manager Dave McCarthy, who 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 game’s Xbox.com page has the image pictured above, simply stating, “A fond farewell … thank you from the team.”

Microsoft will now apply the technology that kept 100,000 players in the game concurrently on “new projects that will be unveiled in the future.” We wish Microsoft had polled the mob before pulling the plug on the popular program.
