Bungie confirms that Marathon is here to stay. Get over it.
>>735857280the nortubel of bungie
>>735857280They have to prove it
Preeeeeety sure they said the same thing about the last couple live service games Sony canned within the month...
Probably contractually obligated seeing as how sony bought them for billions lmao
>>735857280whatever helps you sleep at night, anon
>>735857280Remember when Destiny 1 was supposed to last for 10 years?
>>735857280good morning saar
Chud xissies… I thought go woke… le broke……. SO WHY ISNT MARATHON GETTING SHUT DOWN??? This is so fucked….
Remember when the Highguard account said they didn't need player numbers?
>>735857473Here comes the cope from Marathon haters. They have a solid playerbase. Completely different from Highguard
>>735857280They've also said that Destiny 2 hasn't been scheduled for EOS, even though you can use your fucking eyeballs and look at it.
>>735857473Obviously beyond some minimum to sustain the game. Believe it or not not every game needs 200,000 concurrent players to be succesful
>>735857404oof
>They have a solid playerbase. Last I checked it lost over half its players in a few weeks
>>735857540>>735857404>solid
>>735857280"Trust me bro" isn't a legal contract.
>>735857350Exactly.It's always the same retarded playbook. lmao. these companies have the most jewish behaviour
>>735857626>game peaks at launch and a couple weeks later a solid playerbase that’s a little bit lower than the peak is there OH WOW WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
>>735857574Bungie, however, needs the game to have more than 30,000 concurrent players in order for Sony to not restructure them into oblivion.
>>735857716>a solid playerbaseAre you actually a marathon player or just playing the role of delusional fanboy so you can get replies in these threads? I don't understand why you would even bother typing retarded shit like this
>>735857716>little lower>45% and droppingBlast while you can ;)
>>735857716This is just sad dude. The game currently has a playercount on par with Hunt: Showdown, a 7 year old game
Chuds lost.
>>735857280>please spend money on our sinking ship, no refunds
>>735857280What are they supposed to say? "We don't want to continue with Marathon, that was a waste of money. Sony please fire us all!"?
>>735857280how does it compare with arc raiders in terms of gameplay?i don't care about player count btw, but been thinking of buying one of these or helldivers 2
>>735857280/v/ just got completely btfo. Imagine spending every day praying for a game to fail only for it to survive and keep on rolling
He won. Bungieshills absolutely buckbroken
>>735857280Okay? I'm not gonna play it.
>>735857280Marathon, what's that?
OH NO NO NO AAAAAHAHAHAHAH
>>735858107delet this
>>735858107Well, the DEVS are intending to be in it for the long haul. We'll see what the investors say.Honestly, I think they'll keep it open since it's not like they lost 90% of the base in a week like HIghguard.
>>735857280what does it matter?you guys don't play video games
>>735858107Bungiebros... do NOT read this..
>>735858107>blast: had>server: slammed>lightning: bottled>mainstream: written all over>long haul: in it
>>735857428But it is
>>735857280I predicted they were going to try and keep Marathon alive for two years minimum despite its obviously terrible sales. If true, this decision makes sense given the circumstances, because Sony has been shutting down studios left and right and have produced some of the biggest flops in gaming history, so they don't want to tank their reputation even further and want to make the most out of that multi-billion dollar deal + Bungie has nothing else in the horizon besides Marathon and D2.
>>735857280Long haul, you say. Someone post the pasta
>>735857280You are so fucking stupid, this is the game dev equivalent of the board "vote of confidence" to a football manager (/sp/ bros where yall at?)
>>735857280It's alright. I can just not buy the next one too.
>>735857716>solid playerbaseReminder it cost a minimum of $250m to make and they only sold 1.2m copies.
>>735858342Wonder what they're gonna do with fairgames. If they do cancel that instead of leaving it under indefinite hiatus then marathon's chances aren't looking very good
>>735857716Lmfao!!!
Just a reminder to bungiedrones. Even before marathon came out and flopped, Sony has flat out publicly stated that their purchase of Bungie was a mistake
>>735858472>When you're in step with your team, making call outs and shooting up the Outpost highwaysNo real person talks like that
Marathon shills truly are mindbroken
In all seriousness, Sony might keep funding this game in hopes of a turnaround.
>>735858107DELETE THIS!MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS!!!!!!
>>735858739I really wonder how many actual bots are online because I feel like a schizo half of the time and the other half i'm absolutely sure that it's an ad.
>>735858880Cryo archive and ranked were supposed to be the big turnaround point yet here we are. F2P is next, but I doubt it'll attract many players and much less keep them
>>735858739Believe it or not, 4chan isn’t the entire internet. People on places like Reddit or Resetera aren’t worried about being seen as “cringe” and they actually like video games.
>>735857280Didn't they say that about every other one?>>735858107Oh look they did. That was fast, thanks.
>>735858990It's probably healthy for the industry to see these live service slops tank hard.Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.There's not a single PS5 exclusive that is worth buying that console for, and Sony burned billions funding these abortions.They might've been able to buy off a From Software PS5 exclusive title with these billions.
>>735857280Happy to hear it. I had a feeling Sony was ok with Marathon being a niche hardcore shooter. Why else would they greenlight such a project? Also Sony knows D3 is their Ace up their sleeve
>>735857280I've seen this show before. They always do this. I mean, what do people expect them to say? >Yea, things aren't great. It's possible we could shut it down if things continue to trend badly for the game. But we're hoping it doesn't. Please continue to poor your time and money into our game to help keep it alive.lol They're not gonna be truthful if things are dier.
>>735859112Redditors and reseterans aren't 'people'
>>735857810Taking oestrogen must interfere with their natural male capacity for logical reasoning.
>>735857574This particular game needed a huge player-base. This just isn't sustainable with how much money and time they spent developing it.And It's not like the game's getting any bigger since It went from 60-70k to 40k now.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh chudbros now that the dust has settled...... I'm like literally shaking and hyperventilating rn.......... ummmm........ WHY IS IT NOT FLOPPING????????????? we did at all: we boycotted online, we posted harder than ever before on 4chan and twitter, we made memes about concord and all that, it has been working so well with other games but IT JUST DOESN'T FLOP! WHY IS IT REFUSING TO DIE???????? The death of woke (asmongold calls it like that which means any game with women that I hate so much) has been promised to me but games are literally just not floppingIs it me or normies just ignore our internet culture war (that we are totally winning) and they keep purchasing those games like nothing is happening, I hate it so much, the collapse of society/west/gaming can't come sooner.
>>735859251Yeah, people who are able to enjoy video games and talk about them without being hidden under 100000 layers of irony is very scary to people like you.
>>735857280see you in May when they announce shutdown
Bungies stock has gone way down. I sold a thousand of them. Even got a refund for marathon, what a complete disaster. The co should be ashamed of his games directions. Investors on suicide watch, not me though.
Bungie shills will look you straight in the eye and tell you this is a great artstyle
>>735857280if they make it not look like a child scribbled over everything I'll consider buying it
>>735857280>yearsIt will shut down in a month
LMFAO
>>735859381Not enough anti soul gas
>>735857280And Highguard had a year long roadmap. So?
>>735857716>A little bit lowerIt's only a flesh wound.
The fact that Tassi became shill enemy #1 from this article is so funny. He literally says he likes the game
>>735857404AIIEEE STOP THE COUNT
>>735857967Helldivers 2 is easily the best choice. Marathon and arc both suck. Marathon is just destiny gunplay on Roblox maps painted garish colors where sweats rape you with endgame loot from that one map. Arc raiders has you have to choose between sweats or carebear lobbies
/v/ lost officially... it's over.
>/v/ lost officially... it's over.
>>735857280Highguards also had a long roadmap, where did that go?
>Another game with a bunch of anti-shill fans who follow it around like a secret admirer Women behaviour
>>735859269they already wasted the development costs. Now they just need the whales to keep it afloat.
>>735859885I am also masturbating furiously
>>735857280Yeah just like Highguard is here to stay.
>>735859850Why are troons like this? Constantly threatening to kill themselves if they don't get their own way.
>>735859850I would smash that loony troon, and whoever pulls out my dick would be crowned King Arthur
>>735859949You know Sony is panicking when all the journo shills desperately try to defend the game
>>735859972At least they aren’t killing children
>>735857626IT ALL COMESTUMBLING DOWNTUMBLING DOWNTUMBLING DOOOWN
>>735857404buy the dip
>>735859850do you think someone at Bungie showed a Sony executive this tweet to pressure them to not nuke the studio?
>>735857626there's plenty healthy games that lost half its playerbase in 2 weekslikeuhstop looking at steamcharts chud!
>>735859957That would explain your criminally low testosterone levels
>Will barely hit 40k today About an 8k or so loss in players from last week
>>735859483>All grouped together like thatkek
>>735860067Wait for the weekends and cryo you retard
>>735860049that IS a sony executive
>Wait for the weekends and cryo you retard
I hate to say it but /v/ is coping hard. This is almost like Trump and the Iran war. No matter how hard you hit Bungie, Marathon is still standing strong, like Iran.
>>735860013They're trying.
>>735859949You don't need 20 other people in your region wanting KFC at the same time in order to eat KFC.
>>735857280Unfortunately, it's not up to Bungie whether Marathon or their studio sticks around.
>>735859949KFC is god awful, should've gone to Church's or Popeye's instead.
>>735860067as someone that fell for the marketing and bought the game, this is genuinely funny, the game is not able to keep even the sunken cost idiots like me in.
>>735859949>Fat fuck comparing software to food
Well obviously. What else does Bungie have besides a dwindling Destiny 2 playerbase? I guess that "Gummy Bears" project but that's been MIA.
>>735857716>a little bit lower>player count shows a 50% drop from their launch peak of 89kI hope you don't do your own taxes, anon.
>>735858806it's the opposite actuallymarathon haters are literally derangedhttps://files.catbox.moe/qr5s4y.mp4
>>735860115they opened cryo early, that's the 1k bump from yesterday.
>>735860115Cryo's been out for like 34 hours at this point
>>735859113>Didn't they say that about every other one?I remember an E3, years and years ago, where some Ubisoft employee (an Asian guy, I think) was talking about some new live service-type slop game (Maybe one of the Far Cry games?) and said something like 'Don't worry fans, we've got you' referring to years of planned live service updates.And the game went EOS five months later.
>>735857280Good for them! I'm not ever going to play it because it's a boring-ass fucking extraction shooter that looks like rancid garbage, but still. Good for them.
I enjoy it the game. You can hate it all you want. At the end of the day you’ll move on and hate something else because that’s what you always do. The cycle of your existence.
>>735857280>"Destiny will be a 10 year game">2 years in make a "sequel" that removes "content">takes 8 more years to add enough content in to quantify it being considered a gameI fully expect a "Marathon: ReSomething" in a few years that's a soft relaunch because the game has nothing going on for it and they'll need to trick people into playing it again.
>>735859269Speculation based on nothing.This $340 million that retards think this game cost to make is based on some delusional estimate of the entire studios employee salary from the moment it was concepted all the way to the end of development. That isn't how it works.
>>735860242Here you go anon
>>735860406yeah eventually the game is going to die so there won't be much to post about
>>735860472Thanks, couldn't find it
WHY ARE PEOPLE FORCING THEMSELVES TO HATE THIS GAME?!The hate is so FUCKIN' performative and. Embarrassing, man!Marathon is unironically the best extraction shooter in the market.If what you're looking for is the extraction shooter experience.If you want fun stories with strangers then yes, ARC Raiders takes it.Otherwise Marathon does everything better than EVERYTHING else!It takes patience and time to learn the game and once you do, it’s amazing.This is actually one of the best shooters I’ve ever played!
>>735860431the roadmap doesn't even show any new content for the next 6 months
>>735860491fuck off shillbot
>>735860261From what I've heard Sony took gummy bears from them and gave it to another studio. So yeah, if they don't have anything else under their sleeve then it's marathon or bust
>>735860491>If what you're looking for is the extraction shooter experience.hunt already exists and it's better
>>735860491it's funny they used peanut in the marketing when he stopped playing as soon as the ad contract ended, he didn't even come back for cryo archive because he wasn't even lvl 25
>>735860206Yep
>>735860591They gave it to teamLFG https://www.playstation.com/en-us/corporate/playstation-studios/teamlfg/
>>735857280I mean, if they adjust the content cadence and development budget accordingly to the success it achieved, it's possible for this game to continue in the future.Like, look at fucking the finals, it barely has anyone but the game is still profitable and getting new content.
>>735857404>this bad on a Friday eveningMan I guess Cryo Archive was Marathon's last chance last week and they blew it. Expect layoffs to start this summer.
>>735860529Dude but Dire Marsh but at night. You know, the map everyone hates? What if that had poor visibility? BUNGIE IS COOKING
>>735857280It's dead
I think they should keep pumping money into it, Im never going to buy it anyway. I find it hard to believe that enough new people are consistently buying Marathon to outweigh the cost of paying all the trannies that work the game plus the servers and social media accounts, the finacials make no sense if you think about it.
>>735860491This pasta gets funnier each time
>>735860780>that work the gamethat work on the game* sorry nigger im not indian i swear
>>735859949>passive aggressive whining>food analogy>retardDamn, he got me. Time to change my chud ways and buy the collector's edition of Marathon(TM)
>>735860767>Zero actual new content What the fuck is this? Bungie really thought they'd get Destiny levels of players huh
https://old.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1s5la6r/were_in_it_for_the_long_haul_with_marathon/
This game is going to die in a few weeks, I already see comments from people that really like the game, they invested 50 hours but the content is lacking for them.
>>735857280Yeah well I don't want it to stay. So looks like we got a problem
>>735860445Shillbro, you got blown out so badly in that other thread, you came in here to seethe?>$300m dev costConfirmed by Bungie through leaks to Tassi, sorry m8
>>735857404Destiny 2 did just fine with this playercount for years.
>>735860913They never learn.
>>735860858no, see, it says "and more" at the bottom right, surely that's a meaningful chunk of content
I really like Marathon, it's flawed and obviously niche but I think it deserves more players than it currently has. There are certainly lower quality games in the exact same genre like arc raiders that manage to swing a coupld hundred thousand players without issue. I think its a shame Marathon hasn't done as well as it should have done.But the hate campaign against the game is really weird. Its like people are as passionate about hating the game as others are about playing it.
>>735861036That was AFTER numerous updates anon. It didnt launch like a wet fart.
>>735858430LOL!
>>735860718>if they adjust the content cadence and development budget accordingly to the success it achievedit just means massive layoffs at Bungie, which is what everyone has been saying would happen for at least a year now, marathon will just continue to exist with a skeleton crew whose only objective will be to milk the few remaining players as much as possible while delivering as little content as possibile, the problema Is that by the end of season 1 the players remaining will probably be under 10k so even with the most efficient milking strategy, they won't recoup costs any time soon, going f2p is a realistic outcome.
>>735860913Bless you for putting that image together so quickly.
>>735860858>>735861115Are you genuinely pretending that a new shell and new guns and items isnt actual new content.
>>735860767>NightfallSeriously can they stop punching Destiny players in the dick? Im not sure if they are trolling or not.
>>735861146This guy is clearing having a blast!
>>735861036Destiny 2 also made a few hundred million dollars.
>>735860491Hey Ranjeet, care to explain what this is?
>>735861146The only long haul you'll see is their balls across your face
Mind you Marathon is doing it when Arc has gone through a content drought for six months. Imagine how low the numbers will drop when Arc releases the new map in 30 days.
>>735857280>we are in it for the long haullmao, they'll pull the plug on it before summer
Sony stocks keep going down, I can’t believe it. I bought thousands last month, and I’ve lost around $30 million already. Those fucking chinks better make my money back or I’m going to be hiring a contract killer.
Of course they are, the already invested 200m plus on it. Closing shop would be economically retarded if they can keep the game running and make even a slight profit.
looking like it’s sort of stabilising at 40k? it’s 39-40k for 3 weekdays now.
>>735861226and more!
>>735861363>it's stabilizing at 60k!>it's stabilizing at 50k!>it's stabilizing at 40k!Next week it'll be stabilizing at 30k
>>735860953the majority of players won't even be able to see the compiler boss fight and those who did basically said it's underwhelming and now are left with nothing to do because they've seen everything from the game, and don't plan to return after the first wipe because grinding everything back is just too much, the game is dead.
>>735860913
>>735861363>looking like it’s sort of stabilising at 40k?lol it has to stay that way for like 2 weeks straight. last week it was "stablising" at 50k. Then it dropped like a rock the following monday. If it has 40k for two weeks, we can say that is the floor. Until then...
>>735859929I dont know what you think is going to happen but confiding in reddit-whales is not going to save the game bro. Bungie and their marathon community need to stop being retarded and implement more content that isn't just shooting another player or killing the dumbass A.I.The fact that this game didn't even launch with a single player, didn't launch with strike-like missions that another player could invade or something, or 3-6 man dungeon-raids is insane. The amount of money, time, and effort they're going to have to put in to saving the game is not worth the trade in my opinion. They're quite literally better off just crawling back to Destiny and making Marathon a F2P game.
>>735861341With what money? RMAO
>>73586143530/35k is my guess for its first real stable number, but it will still decrease very slowly. By the first reset in June, I think people will say 'fuck it' and numbers will fall to 25k or less.The more interesting question is when matchmaking breaks, since people are already saying queues are getting bad while the game is at 40k.
>>735861363It's down 8k from last week
>>735861553>The amount of money, time, and effort they're going to have to put in to saving the game is not worth the trade in my opinion. It is in theirs. Bungie hates Destiny. >They're quite literally better off just crawling back to DestinyThey would rather die.
>>735861363anon it’s week on week that’s dropping like a rock, it’s 10k down every week. monday is going to be a bloodbath.
>>735861553please spare a thought for poor marathon, a game that was sent out to die. Stop being a meanie stop stop stop
>>735858430I can't believe what Valve did to the Artifact fanbase. They were having such a blast, too.
>>735861618they already had to merge Aus and Asia servers to keep matchmaking times manageable, in a kind of game where latency is very important too
>>735861005>ShillbroFlat earth tier conspiracy retardation. No you getting called out for saying stupid shit does not make me a shill.
>>735857280Bungie made Marathon for themselves. The fact that other people are playing it is just a happy coincidence.
>>735861786Don't forget they had to expand matchmaking for 'remote regions' like the UK and Italy >>735861820No, the shill part is you clearly being one of the brainlets in the other thread who had the 'why did Marathon cost $300m?' thing spelled out to you a dozen times but you still refuse to accept it
doesn't matter what bungie thinks, question is what sony thinks
>>735861867week late to march 20th, but I have faith they'll meet the april 15th deadline
>>735857280IM HAVIN' A BLAST!
Sony thought Concord was awesome and was going to be their Fortnite. What they think is garbage.
>>735861786didn't they also kind of did a lot of marketing around proximity voice chat, trying to follow Arc's success? And you also do need voice chat to coordinate with your team, I guess they expect Aussies to learn mandarin now.
>>735861893>doesn't matter what bungie thinks, question is what sony thinksSee>>735859483
>>735861820It's undeniable fact that companies hire people to stealth market their shit online, your next line will be "they don't come to 4chan"
>>735861893they might risk going with this, since every other studio making an online game has bombed.If they don't support maratroon, they'll have to go for the horizon game that didn't break 50 players, or god forbid, fairgame$
>>735857280>implying bungie is here to stay
>>735860913what was that game after lawbreakers? radical something?
>>735861786Big deal this shit happens all the time in the oceanic region with any online game
>>735861963They could just put more money into Arrowhead, Helldivers 2 was actually successful.
>>735861820bro you can hire a thousasnd jeets to post online for a full day for less than $500. You'd be retarded not to do it, it's way cheaper than any other marketing ploy and people are more likely to fall for what "fellow anons" say.
>>735862093>Big deal this shit happens all the time in the oceanic region with any online gameName 5
>>735862130The best thing Sony can do with Arrowhead is leave them the fuck alone. The PSN thing nearly killed HD2
>>735857716Solid playerbase implies the playercount has stopped dropping which it hasn’t lol.
>>735862087radical heights, same devs asset-flipped shitty battle royale.
>>735857280why did the korean game with bad reviews at launch outsell a game made by one of the biggest game studios backed by a huge tech conglomerate
>>735862156..Jackie Chan, and, uh....Jackie Chan!And.. Jackie Chan?Oh, and Jackie Chan. Definitely.And.. what was.. Oh! Jackie Chan!
>>735862173Right but just give them money and Sony takes a cut from the profits.
>>735861882>ItalyI find it kinda funny that they actually fully dubbed the game in Italian (and every other major language), with some pretty important voice actors too, pushed a lot of targeted social media ads in Italian, and queue times are still atrocious here in Italy with pretty much nobody playing in Europe in general depsite extraction shooters being pretty popular here, it's pathetic, they clearly expected this game to be a massive success and now are struggling to react.
>>735861297Arc Players never left Arc though. And the ones that tried Marathon already got filtered lol
>>735861952>>735861963I don't have a dog in this race can't say I care either waysince they're leaving destiny 2 out to die in maintenance mode they could probably get away with adding actual pve since there is no longer a d2 playerbase to cannibalize from
>>735862130HD2 lost a huge chunk of people with the PSN fiasco and never fully recovered from it. They are doing fine but they are far smaller than they could've been. No one came back for the big 3rd faction shit.
>>735862208There's a thing in gamedev called "EFIGS" that means 'English, French, Italian, German, Spanish' and is usually the starting point for localizing your game. (Meaning that most localization companies offer 'EFIGS' as a package you can get for languages.) It's funny that absolutely nobody outside of North America cares about Marathon, since wasn't Destiny popular in Europe?
>>735862191Because Crimson Desert is slop tailor made for the tasteless Chinese hordes. As shitty as Marathon is, that's not a fair comparison, any by every metric Crimson Desert is an even worse game.
>they are with Marathon for years to comeread: it's getting 'acked in a month
>>735857280they say that but when do the servers become more expensive than the pay 2 win stuff
>>735859949all these lefty "journalists" fags sure love shilling for massive corporations
>>735862246new arc content is just going to bury marathon more though even if the playerbase doesn't really overlap.
>>735862263Sure but they're still doing better than Marathon is in it's release month. They even have more console players than Marathon does.
>>735862156>new world >ff14 >wow retail and classic >battlefield series >my niche favourite, hell let looseMost of these games depend on the SEA region to keep up the Australian and nz playerbase
>>735862191it actually marketed itself as a game people might want to play, regardless of quality.And the people buying it hadn't been reading 5 years of headlines saying "Bungie just removed yet another expansion people had paid for".
>>735862378>dead>dead except when there's an expansion>dead>dead>deadcool anon, thanks for proving my point
>>735862357>BF6, the game where EA fired most of the devs, is beating MarathonGrim.
>>735862443pfffftt
>>735861036Destiny 1 and 2 were one of the most sold games of all time.
>>735861786it sold like ass in australia it hit the top 10 sellers on ps5 for like half a week
>>735857404>59% of your playerbase gone in less than a month
I dont know why there is so much push and pull with this game. It can play like both Spies vs Mercs or high stakes Halo, which everybody loved growing up.
>>735857280Okay
>>735862305>the game with actual content is shitter than generic pvp fps number 104828837272737277273yea i highly fucking doubt it nigga
>>735857280>Unknown9 confirms they will stay for years as a huge multimedia franchise
>>735862606they really got into that unknown name
>>735862514It sold like ass all over the world and judging by the player charts Americans are basically the only ones playing it
>>735862345>YEAH WELL IT WILL ANYWAYSok kid whatever you say. Go hold hands and sing Kumbaya over there.
>>735862412Yeah I wonder why they are dead. Like I said so.
>>735857280>tfw i want marathon to go as long as possible to watch sony bleed money and feel vindictive enough to shut down bungie for wasting years and billions of dollars
>>735862606I know the game gigaflopped, but never heard again of all the extra media, did it actually get made?
Whoa...
>>735862675I don't play arc, you just gave to be stupid if you don't think that other big love service games dropping more content won't bury less successful ones like marathon, especially ones in the same genre like Arc, why do you think they tried to get peanut and other arc streamers to switch to marathon?
>>735862776Fuck off with the reddit posting
>>735862694I hope they try to Payday 3 it. 3+ years of attempts to revive a game that gets 500 players on a sunny day.
>>735862814Nah it's fun to laugh at these delusional retards
>>735862814don't reply, they get $3 for each (you)
Reminder that Defect, a true kino cyberpunk fps featuring opening a fun way, won and hasn’t even released yet. It will feature single player and co op in addition to its pvpve mode as well
>>735862305>All this cope Sure bro, Slay the Spire having over 500K players also doesn't count and it was completely indie
I can't make fun of people that enjoy marathon because I know what it's like to love a game that is clearly destined to die
>>735862305
>>735862410I can't read more than 2 sentences of this passive aggressive feminine whining.Is every R*setera post like this when they lose?
>>735861882>>735861962>>735862135There are bugs under your skin claw them out NOW
>>735862891>Don't you dare abandon us, Sony!>The game has DOZENS of playersAre they self aware?
It's not up to them, it's up to Sony.
Cope and seethe or whatever but MAN is posting steamcharts such a retarded faggot thing to do.Has ruined any kind of argument or debate. I'd even take the "It's woke" bait over the steamcharts posting.
>>735863245They are scared
>>735862305the promise of what a game is, is often more important than the quality of the game. A game that is a 10 in concept but a 6 in execution will perform significantly better than a game that's a 6 in concept but a 10 in execution.
>>735863301>be live-service game>made to extract small amounts of money from various players over a large overall playerbase>but pointing out that this will not work>because they player count is too low>is somehow>wrong?
>>735859929
>>735863301Except steam charts posting actually applies to this game more than most since we all know for a fact it bombed on consoles
>>735863463>they are not very good microstransactionsCan vidya game journos even talk in proper english?
>>735863425>also multiplayer games require other people to play and more people playing is better>but pointing it out is wrong
>>735861867I've seen Aztecross and other people saying the Marathon devs said were proud they made a "hardcore game"...
>>735863463how long before they add cat ears and other desperate money grabbing skins?
>>735863425>>735863568The funny thing is, they know all that.That have 0 arguments against it.They can only say it's le wrong.And demand Steam to censor these numbers somehow.
>>735861867Kek this is greatSweet kisses to whoever made this
>>735857404How do wokesters deal with having their ideology constantly rejected by general audiences? Whether at the box office, on steam charts, or at the ballot box, woke always goes broke.
>>735863731>How do wokesters deal with having their ideology constantly rejected by general audiences?Forget about it and shill the next release with full force
>>735857280thats some copium from Sony, im guessing they publicly announce it around June
>>735863531wonder why they committed PR suicide by revealing the share of PC/PS5 players. They could've hid behind "ps5 has stronger retention, pc gamers just have too many other games competing for attention"
It was spring break and the numbers got WORSE. They will announce free to play switch in April with some kind of currency apology to the people who bought the game. EOS by August.
>>735863961>They could've hid behind "ps5 has stronger retentionWe've seen the PSN network rankings tho
>>735863612>devs said were proud they made a "hardcore game"
>>735857716>STABLE 80K>STABLE 70K>STABLE 60K>STABLE 50K>STABLE 40K >STABLE 30K
>>735864094buy the dip
>>735862771It was made before the game except for that last thing (I don't remember what it was, and don't feel like looking it up)
>>735857280Still no milestone announcement besides 400k molesters on pedoscord... it's over...
>>735864205...how?
>>735859381I mean, the silhouettes are salvageable.
>>735863731How is marathon woke
>>735857280That's literally what the Highguard devs said
>>735864638It's ugly.Ugly = Woke
Bungie hasn't made a good game in like 15+ years. Little gay studio. Cumgie.
I remember when Bungie was good. Multiplayer was the beez kneez. The mods were insane.
>>735857280This is the canary in the mine call that it's going to close in like 2 months tops
>>735858107They fucking say it as well. I was wondering if it was a fake memory
>>735857280Highguard and Concord were here to stay too.
>>735857280i couldn't believe this was real, we've reached this level of desperation.
>>735857280They need PC to survive. The console versions FLOPPED SO HARD. Lmao
Marathon sisters…. Shroud has abandoned us!
>>735860202(you)
>>735861036>Destiny 2 did just fine with this playercount for yearsIt actually only started getting numbers like that in 2024 if you look at steamcharts. So it was only this low after 8 years, not uhhhhh 1 month.
dead game.
>>735861036Destroony was STABLE on those numbers.Marathon is still losing 25% EACH WEEK
>>735865532Marathon playerbase here.We are not going anywhere.CHUD
>>735863612>hardcore game>so much aim assist the game plays itself
>>735865529i didn't know project moon's gacha was so popular
>>735865683Enough about Apex Legends
>>735865529>losing to Delta Force lmao
>>735865685it's done nothing but grow since release, unlike marathon
>>735858430You can say whatever you want about Artifact, but right now there's not one but two versions of it and their servers are up and people can play them whenever they wantWill you be able to say the same about Marathon after a couple of years?
>>735857428Check back in a year
>>735857280Obviously they're not going to say "yeah we saw how a majority of people are hating on it so we don't have much faith in this game and will probably drop support early on." This is the most predictable answer ever.
>>735857404if you think that is bad look at deadlock's steam charts
>>735857574seattle studio lolthis sure as fuck needs new players but instead it just stagnated and they double down on excluding new players
>>735857574>Believe it or not not every game needs 200,000 concurrent players to be succesfulAAAA live service games do tho
>>735857404There's no shot in hell sony dumping money into this shit just to be on life support in a month
>>735865879moba slop will never hold a large audience these days, it's going through its RTS phase.
>>735857626I hope this game bombs because I'm tired of live service shit, but this is retarded. No fucking shit the game will peak on or near launch.
>>735865718Does apex claim to be hardcore?
>>735857574>Believe it or not not every game needs 200,000 concurrent players to be succesful
