>>734349268I think Marathon would work if Arc Raiders didnt have millions of people playing it atm
>>734349346not the flex you think it is lol
Veilguardbros, they're coming for us...
>>734348786chud cant even wait for all of us to login. some of my friends on discord are having trouble logging in because of how hard we are winning the servers are getting slammed. have sex chud

>>734349606$40 vs free is highly in marathon's favor sadly. but if it doesn't break 100k, it's still probably over due to the game's budget.
>>734349761yeah thats the joke you fucking idiot
>Welcome to Marathon!
I'm not paying, if it's a good game then I am happy for Bungie
look bro the vibes are immaculate, if you don't believe that you are an incel nazi chud virgin
Deadlock sisters.......we lost.........
>sub 100k on launch daymaratroons... I don't feel so good...
>>734349695me and my discord are doing the same thing. leaving it on overnight. they took concord, and highguard but they wont take marathon from us.
>>734349793anon it needs way more than that, it needs to SUSTAIN like 150k and we all know its going to lose at least half of the peak after like a week
>4 billion on studio>half a decade in the making>can't break 100k at launch
I’m at work, playing when I get home like most people
>>734349808>WELCOME...TO MARATHON!
>>734348786So it IS a Sprint instead of a Marathon?
>>734349686even the filename looks angry
>>734349976Lmao you fags at work aren't going to suddenly pull in numbers to make this a success.
>>734349346incels lost, marathon won.
>>734348786its up to 64000 now chud
A reminder to steam trannies
>>734349976You should work more instead of playing video games, workslave.
...
>>734348786NO NO NO NOTHIS CAN'T BE HAPPENINGIT'S OVER THE GAME ONLY RELEASED 15 MINUTES AGOWHY DOESN'T IT HAVE 1 MILLION PLAYERS ALREADY?
>>734350107A reminder that bungie needs to sell 8 million to cover its budget alone
>>734349804>Blatantly retarded OP that is indistinguishable from all the other retarded OPs posted by brownoids obsessed with twitter and steamcharts>NO IT IS A JOKEFuck you. Fuck Israel. Fuck India.
>>734350107Wow, snoys like to eat slop???
>>734350290No they like good games, if you want to see slop look at top 10 steam games
>>734350101Still lower than highguard lol
>8 brapzillion people on the planet>not even 1% is playing your new heavily marketed AAAA gameKEKLMAObetter luck next time BUNIGE
>>734349684I'M BLASTIN' OFF AGAAAAIIIINNN!
>>734350421highguard didnt get 40 dollars for each player chuddy. they got 0
>>734349951They paid off nearly every streamer, they will hit 250k
>>734350379>EA FC>Metaphor>Sparking Zero>Dragon's Dogma 2>Yakuza 8>Elden Ring DLC>Good gamesLmao
>>734350489You know Steam has refunds right?
AHAHAHAHHAHHAHA GET FUCKED DOUBTERSMARATHON CHADS SOUND THE FUCK OFF
>>734350510do zoomers really buy games just because their favorite streamer was paid to play it? why?
>>734349976no you won't
>>734350489Marathon also has 20 dollar skins already and Bungie cucks are some of the biggest paypig whales to exist. Bungie won.
>>734350639yes
>>734350650This is the worst fucking ui i've ever seen
>>734350639It worked for Arc at least
>>734350616cope>>734350650i bought this skin just now, she kinda looks like me.
What's the obssesion with you guys wanting another concord sitation
>>734350650This game is fucking disgusting holy shit
>people reporting having issues buying on Steam. Marathon and Slay the Spire 2 dropped at the same time
POKER NIGHT LAUNCHED
>>734350650That's clearly not 20 bucks anon, it's 1,500 Marathon Tokens
>>734350812You lost, troon!
>>734350639I mean, I bought games because gaming magazines rated them 9/10. I stopped after playing Uncharted 2 and realizing I was totally underwhelmed. that game was getting 10s all over the place.
>>734350812Bad games should fail. Big studios and their extended supporters have been hostile to gamers for far too long. Laughing at their failures is merely minimum payback.
>>734350107No wonder they're killing xbox off
ANOTHER ALL TIME PEAK, IT JUST KEEPS RISING
>>734350650Who was banning this digital currency shit where you can only get packs that cost more than the item you want?? When is it happening
>$3.6b for 200k combined concurrency from all platforms for marathon and destiny dyingthis is perfectly fine
>>734351130Yeah, it turns out when nobody buys the hardware, you don't sell any software. Phil must have forgotten about that.
>>734349951What are consoles
They’re going to get their stride eventually, chuds. It takes time to build speed. That’s why they called it MARATHON and not SPRINT.
>>734351086Thanks for answer
>>734350650where is her bum?where is her bulge?where are her breasts?i cant fap to this
Stop buying it stop buying it stop buying it.Fail now! Fail now! Faaail nooowww!!!Why are they still buying it and having fun?? It's fake fun. It's CONCORD
>>734350070Go say that to your parents who fed and clothed you
>>734348786Here come the bots, let's see this game go sub 10th of its max after a day.
kek'd
>>734350129Go say that to your parents who fed and clothed you
>>734350812I don't want to see ugly, out of touch games being made any moreI'd rather those resources be funneled into projects that actually appeal to me
When are people going to stop basing a game dying or succeeding based on a single day? We’ll see where it is after a week or two
Embarrassing really
IT PEAKED YET AGAIN IT'S FUCKING UNSTOPPABLE
>>734351205STOP THE COUNT
>>734349071cope
>>734350545All better than steam top 10
It's going to hit less than 200k into the weekend but that doesn't mean it will keep the players, screenshot this.
Marathon is cooked chat
wait it released? didnt it just have a beta or something i thought it wouldnt be out for like some months or weeks idk i dont know anything about this game desu
GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY, BROS. WE CAN DO THIS! WE CAN BEAT MARATHON!'STOPTHECOUNT
It is already flat lining, the weekend bonus can't come soon enough...
>>734348786What will he say now that the game is obviously not a flop?
>OMG I want to be part of this ABSOLUTE FAILURE so much!!!!fomo marketing
it's not even going to go past 100k, let alone eclipse A** R*****swokejews... we fucking lost to the chudian master race
>>734349684I am /v/ and I like Marathon ergo I won
>>734351086Then why dont you go into deadlock threads huh????
>>734351709where's the flatlining fudder-kun?
>>734350812Being a failure makes you want to see other people hard work and effort fail. It’s pretty sad when you think about it
>>734351747The fuck is Five M
>>734351506Those are based on dollar sales, so you can say that its sold more then double the copies.
>>734351480>I'd rather those resources be funneled into projects that actually appeal to meand what, pray tell, appeals to (you)?
>>734350626BLAST THRUSTERS: ACTIVATED
>>734351763here it is, since you're retarded.
>>734351747>Not even half of what Arc Raiders pulls on a random Thursday
>>734351721Veilguard didn't make money back at 85k while being 69.99$,it's not some AA game.
>>734351795Modded GTA 5
>>734351847Gooner Gatcha games
>>734351530
>>734351856SHILLL BROOSS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'll be honest the only reason I want this game to fail is not because of the woke shit. It's because if it's a success companies will look at it and greenlit another 10 live service slop garbage games. I just want the industry to return to making actual games rather than just engagements systems designed to keep you cycling into the ingame store.
>>734351876sounds about right
>>734351847Good games
>>734348786ITS ACTUALLY A ROARING SUCCESSASMONCHUDS WILL NEVER RECOVER
>>734348921why do you keep coping with the same shit every time kek
>>734352020Failing to break 100k (based on the trendline) on your launch day when you spent tens of millions on marketing alone for this moment is the opposite of 'roaring success.'
>>734352020>peak 80k players>need 10-12 mil sales to break even>arc had 264k players at launch and sold 12mil units so far
How long until the first "marathon is a massive success" article? How long until the "actually, GaaS slop doesn't need to break 100k CCU to be successful" article? How long until "breaking down why Marathon failed" article comes out?
>>734351747the fuck is bongo cat?
>>734352020I don’t think Asmon shit on this at all
>>734351858>back at 85kMarathon hasn't peaked yet and this one has MTX I think.
>>734352119
BUNGIE BROTHERS WHY IS THIS NONAME RANDOM FUCKING INDIE GAME THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF OUTSELLING US???? WTFFFF WHY IS IT SO CLOSE IN CCU TO OUR MAJOR AAAA LAUNCH??? FUUUUCKKKK!!!!
>>734352227LMAO
>>734352119A redpill about the player count incel and their disinformation campaign. A sanity check if you will.
>>734351762I do. I just have multiple tabs open.
>>734349793This piece of shit definitely cost over 100 million. 100k would be a tremendous flop
>>734352121He did. >woke character design>bad art directionObviously to pander to his own audience, I don't think he gives a fuck about the game.
SUB 100K PEAK AHAHAHAHA
100k soon. this is payback for ICE and Concord.
>>734352303I cant find your post shitting on it in the deadlock thread
>already plateu'dooooof
>>734348786THIS SHIT IS NOT BREAKING 100K LMAOOOHOLY FUAAAKIN FLOOOOOOP
The moment someone makes the stop having fun edit for Marathon meme is when this game is officially dead
>>734352332It cost over 300 million, probably closer to 500 but those numbers aren't out yet.
>>734352454YOU ARE RUINING LIVES
>>734352227Almost like people actually wanted slay the spire 2
>>734351762deadlock is good though? and free?
Marathon sisters,geometry gods are laughing at us...
>>734352227>random no name >one of the most popular games sequel that made a ton of games come workout with card mechanics Like anon please don’t be a nigger
>>734352453You don't understand, their servers are SLAMMED by this low peak playercount. NOBODY can log in, too many BLASTS are being had!
I predict 150k by the time Peanut guy streams
>>734352460I saw an edit where they were watching steam charts on the screen and that made me laugh
any non woke / non chud can honestly tell me if these numbers look good? if 100k will be their all time peak do you think it's a success or a failure
>>734352453https://youtu.be/3w-2gUSus34
>>734352453SteamDB is getting unintentionally DDOS'd because of the chuds refreshing every second
>>734352552Have you not seen how hard it's stalling? 110k would be a DREAM, 100k would be hard to hit, 90k might be realistic.
>>734352448You ain't looking hard enough.
Holy shit dunkin donuts coffee tastes like ass
>>734352605if they can hold the same number in 2 weeks it'll be a successbut most players leave so the peak needs to be more than 200k, preferably around 300k
at what player count do we say that the game is not woke because woke games can't be popular?
>>734352694ok
>>734352605Don't worry, just wait for the article about how "Marathon is winning!", then forget about the game and act shocked in a few months when Bungie gets shuttered.
uh... marathon xisters?
>>734352605If you're in debt billions of dollars? Nope
>>734352525>deadlock is good thoughWrong retard
>>734352747indie chads win again
>>734352747NOOOOOOO
>>734352118How long till you suicide after it’s a success
>>734351721>We need to bomb more Iranian schoolgirlsSomething like that
>>734352747I called this happening weeks ago. I knew it was going to happen lmao. 100% chance StS retains players for longer too.
>>734352645streamers only just started playing chuddy people will start to play after watching some streams and it will hit a higher player count than palworld did
>>734352540nigga that first game peaked at 57k and its mogging Sonys first 4 billion investment
>>734352694HOLY FUCK THANK YOU! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. IT'S LIKE THE ICED COFFEES IN THE SOUTH TASTE LIKE FRESH SHIT BUT THE HOT COFFEES ARE DECENT ENOUGH TO BE PASSABLE
>>734352645The game won't peak for another 8 hours ish. Whatever that number ends up being will probably be the highest it gets this month unless they added something to draw in more players.
>>734352747And here i am doing nothing
>>734352805It costs less therefore made less money therefore marathon won
>>734352805
>>734348786solo marathon is lowkey the best way to play imo. its just you trying to survive the chaos and every successful run feels earned. fuck all the anti-shills though, wild how some of them are already writing essays about how the game is doomed when its literally the top seller on steam and ps5 right now
>>7343527474 BILLION DOLLARS
Nioh 3 won
>>734352747AHAHAHAHAHA
>>734352747slow and steady.its called marathon for a reason.
>>734352747Why the fuck are you even comparing them? They have two wildly different playerbases
>>734352904you lost, tranny
>>734352848>The game won't peak for another 8 hours ishThe beta peaked about an hour after it came out.
>>734352716How many woke gamers do you think there are?
>Marathon might not even reach Highguard numbersI know one is a free game and one costs 40€, but then again one was made by literal who devs and had zero marketing apart from an appearance in TGA and the other has a literal billion dollar company behind it with probably one third of the budget put into marketing. Why do they keep making Concords?
>>734352747ahh yes, the infamous roguelike deckbuilder x extraction shooter game enjoyer crowd
>>734352904we won, sister.
>>734352747SHUT THE FUCK UP CHUD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUTUPPPPPPGGGOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD IHATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATEHATEHATEYOU FUCKING CHUDS!!!!!!
what's the hype for this game, someone give me a QRD, it looks kinda shitty on first impression
>>734352605I actually love the art style(keep seething fellow chuddies). the problem is sony bought bungie for 3.6 BILLION dollars. Destiny has been dying for the past year and a half now and marathon is not going to be a destiny/halo level success no matter how you cut it. This game is on thin ice and if the player retention is horrible this game is getting way less support that whatever they have currently planned. And if the player retention is bad, expect all hands on deck for destiny 3 or bungie getting turned into a support studio.
>Marathon fans right nowhttps://youtu.be/IO70KB3YcgA
>>734353079These freaks have absolutely no understanding of their market.
>>734352747It's a cheaper game.
>>734352932Lost to RE9
I have done 4 runsThis game is everything i expected it to be both good and badPros: gunplay feels kinda like destinyRounds are more intense and pvp focused than arc raidersCons: uglythe map is quite confusing because every building looks identical
>>734353049I'm just going by the previous peak hours seen in the the graph of the demo. Every day it peaked in the evening for the US. It might climb another 500 or another 15k but we won't know until tonight.
>>734352227>>734352285
STOP THE COUNT
>>734353012>Why the fuck are you even comparing them? They have two wildly different playerbasesBecause its funny some indie game with no marketing has the same amount of players as a 4 billion dollar game with endless amount of marketing and streamers pushing it.
4 billion dollar company and they can't even clear 100k CCU, how can anyone see this as anything but painfully embarrassing
>>734348786>2.2 million concurrent playersNot bad at all, chud.
>>734353012Why is a game from a widely popular AAA studio pulling similar numbers on launch as some indie niche roguelite deck builder?
Look at the Slay the Spire graph which is nice and natural vs Marathon. Like I have never seen a graph like this game. Marathon is clearly botting the player count and still losing LMAO
Reminder Halo 3 would have 1m+ people online at any given time between 2007 and 2009
>>734352615You can't ddos steamdb. He has lifetime free cloudflare.
>>734353305Either way, it's not getting anywhere close to the 300k it needed to meet minimum expectations for the studio.
>>734353294>Cons: uglyrecipe for disaster
i heard 12 million people are playing on ps5. my wifes bvll works at playstation
Most of the players are on ps5
>>734353306Megacrit bringing their A game bant.
>>734353294Hope you're under 2 hours played, bud.Maybe if it does bad enough they'll just refund everyone?
Bungie couldn't afford banner on the main page?
>>734348786It's amazing that 1 man indie devs can get numbers like this.
>>734353437Oh, definitely not.
Chuds you are celebrating too early. We already know that the majority of players are on PS5. Sony has revealed that PC constitutes less than 1% of its playerbase. Spider-Man 2 peaked at 20 something k but sold 16 million on PS5. I’ll laugh at all of you when Bungie releases the numbers in a while and you’re all proven wrong. Although I guess you’ll just blame the shills and bots again. Oh well. Off to have a blast, while you nerds keep watching the graph like a bunch of morons.
>>734353332>steam is the only platform this is on
>>734353306Absolutely brutal.
>becomes CEO>throws billions of Sony's money away>leavesAn unsung hero
>>734353306fucking kek
>>734353572I heard it's already sold 8 billion copies on PS5
>>734350107It's honestly hard to believe people endure sony's nonsense
>>734348786False advertisement
>>734353523Those are automatic.
>>734352227wait, is the first game good? i have it since forever in my library i barely played deck games, last one was Inscryption
>>734353306Based, total bungie death
>>734353572you can just suck dick without announcing it to everyone. this isn't the marathon tranny discord, we don't care if you leave
At best the game MIGHT get another 40k-50k. Once opinions get set and Asmon shits on it, the game will sunset. Probably within 2 weeks.
>>734353737It's alright.
it wasnt supposed to be like this
>>734352747[Update] [Sad News] it is actually joever marathon sissies. we have ~18k less players than Slay the Spire 2.
>>734353572yeah the vast majority of destiny 2 and now marathons playerbase is on ps5. /v/chuds are just too distracted by the fantasy of another concord to see the facts for what they are.

>>734353306Blasthavers BTFO!
>Bungie is dea-ACK!!
>>734353953Funny how the best they can do is 80k even with bots
THE COUNT IS STOPPING!!!
>>734350801
>>734353941Roblox
>>734353980KI'll be watching
The drop-off in a few or so days will be the funniest to see because the game genuinely has no content and only offers 3 maps
>>734353907>>734353945As we’ve said over and over, the VAST majority of the people play this on a PS5. And we don’t have a chart for that. But based on the vibe shift and social media analysis, it’s quite safe to say the game is a roaring success and a return to form for Bungie. But we all know you won’t ever accept that because you’ve gambled it all on forcing a new Concord into existence.
>>734353612Every single Japanese company should fire all Western executives. This is the only way to save Japan's economy.
if the numbers don't spike on Steam Sunday it's either dead or terminally ill for a year and then dead
>>734353627Not hard to believe once you realize steamies dont own a single game
>>734353882Yes. As rancid as he is, he's a much better bellwether than any of the pro journos. >>734353907Hey, anywhere near 100 k is still way better than what I expected. All bungie employees should have their resumes ready though.

>>734354103Delicious cope
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>734352605it's live service slop so it all depends on the question if people actually keep playingI don't think they will to be honest. the fontslop is just too much. it looks interesting on first glance, but having to look at that design style every day sounds like a pain
>>734353306Literallywhodev Sama... I kneel
>>734354360Xbox went all in on gamepass, which that chart probably doesn't track
>>734354103your game can’t even peak over Highguard despite fucking botting the playercount, kill yourself
3 BILLION DOLLARS
>>734354396Deadflop made ZERO dollars so far, no one would buy it even for $5 lol
>>734354023>launch day competing with average thursdays for other games>when many of those 80k will be back to their main game in a couple of weeks

>>734353907If they are lucky it will peak at 100k, and then quickly drop...
>>734354360There's literally no reason to own an xbox now that all their games are on PC and soon on PS
>weekend isnt here>americans arent awakeyeah Ill wait for the REAL numbers
>>734353079>Why do they keep making Concords?Everyone wanted to be the WoW killer, and basically all of them died.Now everyone wants to be the liveslop killer, and they will basically all day.Suits are retarded. Instead of trying to find a niche and then make a good game for it, they all pile into an over-saturated niche that already has one of the most profitable games in the whole vidya market and expect to be able to steal its audience to make mad dosh.
>$3.6 billion >internally reviewed sony’s gaas games>got them to cancel TLOU live slop >but got them to spend $400m on concord and approved a horizon concord>for their own game, priced it at $40 and have $20 skins the grift is unreal

It's 1 in the afternoon on a Thursday at the beginning of March. Most people are probably not even home
wtf my steam broke
THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. YOU TOLD ME IT WAS A FLOP, BUT IT KEEPS HITTING A NEW PEAK.
>>734354441RE9 chads... we were supposed to be the best seller...
They should have seen the writing on the wall months ago and pivoted to free to play. Now it's too late. They can't do that without refunding the idiots who bought it, but nowhere near enough people are buying and playing it to keep it alive and they need the free to play boost.
>>734354441>less than highguardoh no
>>734354953>>The launch had issues, just wait until the first patch!lowkey everything is working, I would like my deluxe edition stuff in the mail please thoughoweverbeit

>>734353871Oh wow it's out already?!?!
>>734354103the marathon vibe shift is crazy. some frat guys at the bar were telling me “the game looks better than CoD, me and my buddies are all picking up a copy” what’s going on
So how long until Bungie and every gayming journalist starts blaming the chuds for this flop?
>>734348786IM BLASTING OFF AGAIN

will it even hit highguard peak numbers?
I AM HAVING A POST!
>>734353953The server slam peaked like an hour after going live in the middle of a Thursday afternoon (hrmmm) never to repeak. What the hell game peaks an hour after launch...except high guard..and....uh oh
>>734354956doesn't matter. judging from how bungie whined about destiny 2 players not buying enough platinum to prevent layoffs the dads and former men mainlining this game better be buying their supporter packs and currency and premium skins
>>734354956That's a massive failure. This game's budget was 300 million lmao.
If not for StS 2 dropping randomly we would’ve been about 120-150k. Which is great because it’s like 10% of the playerbase at best. The majority are on PS5. But you’ll call that cope, even when we know it’s true with literally all Sony published games except Helldivers.
"only getting faint blast readings over here, are you ok raider?"
>>734355421There is zero crossover between deckbuilder card games and extraction shooters what are you smoking?
The Raped
>>734348786It's been given the Morgan Park kiss of death
>blasts?being had>marathon?ran>chuds?baited and owned>steam chart threads?posted>axe wound?dilated>hotel?trivago
>snoys already coping about console numberslol
>>734354956This game was very expensive to make.And Bungie was very expensive to acquire for Snoy.So yes, it needs to be a big hit instead of just doing kinda ok maybe, which it isn't as well.not even 90k for the newest game by the makers of Halo and Destiny is fucking pathetic.
marathonsisters, we won bigly....
>>734355421the PS5 defense is fake, the final shape was a huge release on all platforms (bigger than marathon) and bungie still did layoffs anyway. bungie as a company wastes dollars it can't claw back
>>734353424really?
>>734355513Without a hint of irony I was told Concord "easily" had 200-250k on PlayStation the first like three days
>>734352609Yep, chuds were owned. Gonna go get my dilator to celebrate! The future is female! HRT is good for you! Kneel to your Californian GODS.
>>734352885slay the spire 2 is higher than marathon in steam's top sellers though
I can't tell if /v/ is happy/mad or trolling this time
have you filled in your Marathon Apology Forms yet?
I'm happy that an Indie game that didn't need a bloated budget is mogging this piece of shit game
Chuds got raped and are now coping and moving the goalposts. This is hilarious to see. Meanwhile everyone normal is having a blast playing the actual game.
>>734355737It's just the latest Concord feeding frenzy. /v/ is retarded and doesn't play games.
>>734355504>jet two holidayNothing beats
>>734354341who the fuck plays overwatch on steam? also overwatch released in 2023
>>734355747I'm sorry I predicted a 160k launch. I will do better in the future
>>734355356>>734355518concord has an all time peak of fucking 700 players. with the same asking priceI'm not saying marathon will be a success, or even profitable, but it's not a concord
>>734355751Make a shit game get a shit amount of money. A Tale as old as time.

>>734351747>getting mogged by OverwatchLoL
>>734356040Hyenas was about stealing Sonic funkosFairgames is similar but more about the theft of actual valuables and not SEGA memorias
I'm just not a troon snoy
>>734355954veilguard was a turbo flop and only peaked at 89k
DONT PEAKDONT PEAKDONT PEAK
>>734356084Are you worried it'll EOS before you get a chance to play?
>>734356030Couldn't do anything about it apart from copyright striking real world assets used on bigger servers. Also they own FiveM now.
>>734356191How much did Veilguard cost to make again? I feel like this game has at least 3x the budget.
Xisters… why does the player count keep going up?? It wasn’t supposed to be like this! Concord, tortanic!!!
>>734356191Alright, we just don't agree on what is a "concord"There's a difference between flopping with 100k players and flopping with 700
>>734351747I'm surprised that Slay the Spire 2 went up so quickly.
>>734356212destiny has 6k players and is till alive i think it'll be fine
>>734354694americans are on ps5 lil bro
>>734356191>veilguard was a turbo flopAccording to who?
>>734356346fucking EA you dumb cunt
>>734356318It's between 1pm-3pm in muttland. Marathon dads are still at work.
>>734356389>inb4 EA has unrealistic expectations cope
>>734356397Ah yes the imaginary dads.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>only 52 new players in past 5 minutesofficially flat
>>734356451If they're playing Marathon, they've become moms.
>>734356451I know there are lots of single parent children in muttland, but dads still exist.
>>734356346>According to who?the CEO himself
>>734356346It didn't even cover production cost and it costs 20 $ more,this game was propably way more expensive to make than even that game.
>>734356451don't be racist
500 million people are just WAITING to leave work to play Marathon
>less than highguard
>>734356485Giving it 10-15 more min before the number goes down
Mr Sony I dont feel so good
>>734356518>failed due to lack of live serviceI'm glad this company is going to get gutted by Saudi Arabia.
>>734348786They should rename themselves Bungle
>>734350650That one is borderline cute.
>>734355806It seems like most of /v/ is trolling, they are even larping like they are woke.
>>734356292highguard launched to 90k+ and it's considered a concord. Beat highguard before saying you're not a concord
>>734356485how long do you give this game data anon
>From 81k to 86kNO NO NO STOP THE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
>>734351721He will come up with a way to suck up to Israel even more while talking about Marathon.
>>734348786you're telling me using a TTK a hair above tarkov with in-game wallhacks isn't popular?
>>734352453OH NO NO NO NO NO
>>734356292I think the word "concord" has evolved not to mean sub 1k or some insane disaster but more so live service flops in general. I think Marathon will be a Concord as in it will flop as a live service game, similar to Highguard. It more so represents corpo sterilized products failing to sell which in my eyes is a good thing no matter what your politics are.
>>734356590highguard was f2p, you can divide its numbers by at least 100 if you want to compare with a b2p game
>>734356634
>>734356567God damn, if that 150k they got during the playtest last week is really the peak, they're totally fucked.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh blast bros???????????
STOP THE COUNT!
Marathon is gonna do badly but let's not pretend Slay the Spire wasn't super popular. If anything they shouldn't have released at the same time.
>>734356302#shitconcord3playerssay
>>734356302but I don't think it's good for investors or for Sony in general
>>734356879
flopbros, we are eating good
>>734356490underrated
>designed by a troon>flopswho knew
And we are officially dropping.
>>734356879don't worry, it stopped.
>>734356518>EA sports is failing>I know, time to force some other franchise to make their own FUT to pick up the lost revenueWhy are they so retarded
>>734356518Kek, yeah i'm sure the writing and the characters had nothing to do with that
>>734356795It literally doesn't matter at all. This game needed 300k minimum on the first day to have any hope of making its money back, with a sustained 200k average for at least a few months, and most of those players had to buy skins.This game cost a lot more than Highguard, the expectations were much higher.
>>734356713why do people keep buying new online games? i can understand it for single-player games, but online games…
>>734356879but its rising?>>734357020
>game is at 86k players during wageslave hourIt's over bros, it's gonna hit over 200k by the weekend...
How many does Marathon need to sell to even be a good investment for Sony? 15 million copies? 20 million copies? It seems like this was doomed to fail from the beginning when Sony overpaid by 3x.
>>734357020N-NO! THE MARATHON DADS ARE ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM WORK RIGHT NOW, HOLD THE LINE!>>734357146They were at ~86,700 last I checked.
>>734356835It will be. 35k MAX in a week.
>>734353306>>734352227>160k and still rising fastThis indie game is why AAA are losing so badly. This fucking game probably cost less than $1M to make and it's probably going to have a profit margin of 1000%.
>>734357146It went to 86720 after that.And now its down to 86634
>>734357185The fun thing about GaaS slop is that it just needs to have active daily players who paypig garbage skins in the store to be profitable. Of course, the current CCU numbers mean they aren't even CLOSE to their worst projections.
>>734352464>300 million>500 millionSony spent 3.6 billion for a studio with only destiny and this. Im going to argue its in the 600-700 million dollar range. But I mean even if its only in the 100 million range at $40 a shot and ignoring taxes, and steams cut etc theyd need to sell 2.5 MILLION copies. Theyre at 80k launch day.
>>734357020>And we are officially dropping.Hey it's a marathon not a sprint :)
>>734357186but the europoors will soon go to bed, what are we going to do, fellow troons?!?!?!?

>>734357171>It's over bros, it's gonna hit over 200k by the weekend...right right just like the FREE playtest was going to hit a new peak during the weekend
LolLmao I want my burgers with fries.
>>734357290Now the question is, do we see the same kind of insane 50% drop on day 2 that we had with the beta? You've got to think that the retards paying 40 bucks with this will at least try and stick with it for a week.
IT ALREADY PEAKED HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA
>>734357185>How many does Marathon need to sell to even be a good investment for Sony?It needs to be a successful live service game that generates revenue for years to come.
>>734356479>Shit that shoud have been in the game used for multimedia advertisement....Why isnt this just in the game, i dont want to use twitter, or any other social media site for that matter to get pieces of lore and cool cinematics.I miss when games were just games, sold as a complete package to enjoy at ones leisure, made by people that atleast kinda loved what they were doing and sincerely wanted to share their passion.I should maybe play a bit StS1, only ever did 1 succesive Heartkill run with the ironclad.
>People are at work!Okay then why are 119k people playing RE9 right now?
>>734353523Try refresh the page or press F5, you will see the Marathon banner.
>>734357020confirmed
You know what? I'm switching to Slay the Spire.
THE COUNT HAS OFFICIALLY STOPPED
>>734357382I was thinking 85k earlier, I'm impressed they made it all the way to 86k.
>>734357328Even assuming console adds an extra 160k sales, thats still "only" 6.4 million. For a game thats likely in the hundreds of millions to make.
>>734357382>>734357367OH NO NO BUNGIESISSIES WHAT DO WE DO
>>734357230SEX WITH SILENT
>>734357389Not only that, but there are also 164k people playing Slay the Spire 2 right now
God I hate numberfags.
>it peakedHIGHGUAAAARD ASSEMBLEWE BEAT MARATHON
>>734357230Not their fault, they made a fun game while the AAA competition is making shit, it's not even about if the game is woke or not, Marathon is fucking garbage and the retards playing are doing it to "own" the chuds or falled for the paid streamer propaganda, in a week this game will be another Highguard.
Better refund while you still can guys
>>734357285Nothing will repair the damage of canceling TLOU Factions 2.

>>734357387>i dont want to use twitter, or any other social media site for that matter to get pieces of lore and cool cinematics.Then you're not the target audience of a Bungie game. That's something they've been doing for over a decade now.
>>734357230>>734357548STOPTHECOUNT
>>734357382just wait. east coasters are coming back from school. the count is about to rocket.
>>734357628this shit blows my mind. it would have literally eaten ARC Raiders alive and been one of the biggest live games in years, but Bungle saw it as direct competition and a threat to their extraction shitter so they killed the project
>>734354103Then explain why Concord, Highguard, etc. ended up shut down. No matter what, consoles can't save them. You are just coping. Lmao.
>>734357652If they're unemployed shouldn't they have beat the game by now? They had all last weekend the game is only 11 hours long.
>>734357367>the blast stops
>>734357594>Somehow, Highguard returned.

>>734350087>>734349346Highguard reached 97k players and still flopped.So I wouldn't call Marathon a win just yet.We'll have to see the player retention.
>>734357768Concord had less than a percent the players of marathon and highguard was free so made no moneyHope that helps you understand
>>734358030I said 75k, I was off by 10k, but it's already stalling and dropping. No surprise here, honeslty. Chuds thought this was the next Concord, it wasn't.
YOU LOST ARCIES
>>734353871>If Snoysisters boughted, everything will be all right
>>734358030I predicted that it would struggle to hit 85k - which it just barely did.So i consider that a win.

>>734359330>at launch it was almost 1:1 between player count on PS5 and PCSo if we use those numbers for Marathon, they're at around 160k, and lets add 40k for the few xbox players who haven't committed suicide yet.
