Sony is very happy with performance of Marathon and will continue to support the game for GOTY 2026
>41k reviews vs 34k 24-hour peak
>>736162445numbers don't matter
>>736161526>Sony spent enough on advertising Marathon that game journalists will say they like it.
>>736161526
>>736162557For what? The game exists to make money off of microtransactions. If not enough people are paying for those, Sony will shut the servers off.
>>736162557They do when you invested more money than Destiny into it and you expect it to pull BIGGER numbers than Destiny ever did, but you end up with almost no community to turn up.
>>736162717>>736162730Not everything is about money
>>736162824I'll answer the question for you since you won't do it yourself. It's possible to make a good game that nobody plays. This is an ARC Raiders clone, though, so if nobody plays it, it won't be very fun and it'll get shut down.
>>736162824Everything is about money.
>>736162717>>736162730don't care. still having a blast.
when are you trannys gonna get bored of posting these anti-shill marathon threads
>>736162717They just made a game for the players, like in the old days. Why do you newfags think everything has to be about profit?
>>736161526NOOOOOOO IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CONCORD 3 AAAAAAAAA ASMONGOLD NERDOTIC AND THE RED HAIRED BITCH PROMISED ME CONCOOORD NOO WHY DID MY HEROES LIE TO ME
>>736161526Sony is happy? Where has Sony commented on the state of the game?
>>736162824>Not everything is about money>game will shut down, and become vaporware if they don't make enough money
>>736163279>They just made a game for the playersThey made a cash-in on whatever was popular at the time.
>>736162445You do know what those numbers mean, right? You aren't a retarded third worlder, right?
>>736161526>critics
>>736163597Yes I know what numbers mean you dumb fucking retard.For example I fucked your mom 4 times in the ass yesterday.
>>736161526It's a great game and the reviews are deserved. Can't think of any big multiplayer game releasing this year so it'll definitely grab a bunch of awards.Let me guess, this is one of those "ironic" threads where retards pretend they care about the game to shit on it without having played it?
>>736161526THE BOUNCEBACK HAS BEGUN
>>736163597They mean more people reviewed the game than the number of people who can be bothered to play it simultaneously, which seems extremely suspect.
This shit has lost over 60% of its players in less than a month lmao
>>736164789you are actually braindead
Do people really enjoy playing this unoriginal slop or is that just FOMO?
>Sony is very happy with performance of Marathon and will continue to support the game for GOTY 2026Live updates from Maratroon HQ North Korea branch
>>736164898another braindead person
>>736162824True bro, it's about the vibes and fun, right?
Of course Sony is happy.They finally have an excusd to fully eviscerate Bungie.
Ah, marakeks you struggle in vain against the inevitable. Just as Bungie have been raped so shall you. Your numbers dwindle like a feeble flame in a hurricane. Keep fighting, it will only make your fall all the more euphoric for the DOOMGODS. You put up your guard with these "game journalist" "reviews", they serve nothing more than to give you false hope. They will not save you, nor will they save Bungie. Sony sees the numbers they will devour Bungie like a hungry beast, laying off all in their wake. I will only offer you salvation this one last time, join us DOOMGODS in our revelry of the inevitable RAPE of Bungie.
>>736164940Marathon will live on for 100 years, all hail Ziegler
>>736165089>still showing the sign of brain damageyawn
>Maratroons are so stupid they reply seriously to an ironic thread using a fucking polygon article as the OP
>>736161526this proof that games critics have literally no pull at all now. no one gives a shit if they like it, its barely getting 30k concurrent on steam, their positive reviews had no impact on player counts.
>>736161526>awesomesauce>Polygon>a game with sub 20k players that are just Destiny fansNo one is playing this. kys
>>736165259Destiny fans seem to hate this game more than the average /v/ shitposter

>>736161526Thank god retards are delusional and will double down every time instead of taking the L and cutting their losses short.
>>736165348You must have a fucking sad life
>>736165214Not just no pull, negative pull. I take their recommendation as a red flag and only play things I heard about from random assholes on the internet who have no social media following.
>>736165348>This is the stable player count I've been telling you about
>>736161526>Awesome sauce!WOAH DUDE LIKE TOTALLY RADICALL1111 SKATE OR DIE11 HACK THE PLANET!!!
>>736165478>noooooo you can't just write down one number a day, my narrative AAAAAAAA
Why are marathon shills so mindbroken
There is no self respecting human who still takes game journos seriously in the year 2026
>>736165727The amount of butthurt steamcharts produces is just mindboggling. I guess both fanboying and marketing are harder if the consumer has actual data to look at
>>736165727Didn't super meat boy come out on the xbox 360?
>>736165727>Why are marathon shills so mindbrokenbuyer's remorse they can't admit to
>>7361659413D is a new onehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3288210/Super_Meat_Boy_3D/
>>736163279Could you at least fucking TRY to fit in?
>>736165727>surely this game with no players is also bad huh>look into it>its badWhy yes. It is bad. Are you noticing now as well?
>>736164846>>736164940>>736165151Haven't I seen you before?
>>736165647He wouldn't call you a loser if you were tracking favorable numbers. Don't you just love unstable people with nonexistent moralities?
>>736165727looks like shit
do bots have girlfriends or jobs?
>>736161526>Sony is very happy with performance of Marathon and will continue to support the game for GOTY 2026Are you sure about that, son?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48sWgDbicFk
>>736166846>if you don't like the game, that means you had more than 2 hours on a weekend to play itdamn...
>>736165727LMFAO
SIKE! APRIL FOOLS
>>736166948>fat effeminate gamejorno soicuck with tiny hands and a ponytail really likes the troon gamechecks out
>>736165901im tired /v/ros
>>736164789BUT THE CRYO ACHIEVE BOOST!!
Tumbling down tumbling down tumbling down
>>736165348>they won't take the servers down even if they have sub 10k players
>>736161526Xisters…. Not like this!!! You told me it was DOA??? You told me servers would be shut down within two weeks? You told me Bungie was going to get shut down? What happened? How can this be????
>>736167920Video games peak early and haven't gotten much better.
>>736162882Lmfao, is it a paid hater or an obsessed /v/igger?
>>736168319You’re just a contrarian faggot
>>736162882I kneel.
>>736165348alright marathonbros, how do we shill to get these numbers up? new catchphrase? double down on it being hardcore? say it's a co-op hug box instead for normies?
>Tahnit-posting
>>736165727>>736167235This guy, Tahnit, is the first and probably only Marathon lolcow observed to this point. He's been having meltdowns on twitter daily since launch where it was clear the game flopped.
>>736168636I thought the shills were working through the grief ladder, but they went from denial to outright aggression, where the current tactic is 'insult anyone posting objective data' like we see in the 'brain damage' guy in this thread, or >>736165478 Tahnit's newest melty in >>736165727I guess the walls are closing in because now even north america is seeing matchmaking times getting worse along with an increase of cheaters being reported
>>736164407You are a fucking retard, the all time peak on steam was 88,000
>>736169049>even north america is seeing matchmaking times getting worseisn't there worldwide matchmaking?
>>736169183No it’s separated by region. They combined some regions so far though. Probably within the month all regions will be combined.
>>736169068Reread anons post, he said the review count is higher than the current 24hr peak, which is entirely true (and really funny)>>736169183I think it's regional, but it got so bad there too they had to start making the regions bigger, like with England and Italy. And some anon in another thread, an aussie, said he was getting matched with Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese and playing in a matchmade fireteam was impossible because nobody could understand each other, in addition to there being a lot of chinese cheaters
>>736163027>This is an ARC Raiders cloneYou are so fucking stupid holy shit
gaming sure is a disappointment
>>736169271>>736169323>they thought there would be enough players to do regional matchmakingkek, bungie has no right to be this arrogant
>>736161526NO ONE is even playing this game anymore please god just nuke game journalists
>>736169378Are you going to explain why an extraction shooter that came out in March isn't an ARC Raiders clone to you?
>>736169475PEOPLE ARE WORKING!!wait till the weekend
>>736169457It's almost certain that Marathon uses whatever Destiny 2 did for matchmaking, so they just brought that over.You bring up an interesting question though, and I do wonder how many people in Bungie actually had the Highguard syndrome of thinking 'this is lightning in a bottle and everyone will love it', and how many people in Bungie thought '..this shit is DOA for sure'
>>736169790>weekend arrives>"It's Saturday! People have better things to do than playing videogames!"
>>736169819>I do wonder how many people in Bungie actually had the Highguard syndromeSony bought them as a consultant for their live service gametheir ego ballooned when they saw the 3.6 billion price
Extraction shooters are a failed genre, the only successful extraction shooter is Sea of Thieves.
>>736169790>nobody plays on Monday, wait for the patch tomorrow>it's Tuesday, what are you getting excited for? People need time to read the patch notes.>of course people don't play on Wednesday, because they need to take care of their chores before the weekend>Thursday? Anon, everyone's too busy getting ready for the weekend.>Why do you think people would play on Friday? They're out with their friends. Get a life, loser.>Yeah, Saturday isn't that big for video games. People want to go to the park. See their friends. Sunday is when they'll be at home.>Who said anything about Sunday? Everyone's tired and just wants to relax and watch Netflix or TikToks in bed. Next week, you'll see I'm right about Marathon being a hit.
>>736167920
>>736165348it's gonna be a long marathon guise
Extraction shooters are literally just a watered down version of looter shooters.At that point you might as well just make a looter shooter since it has other things you can do.
>>736169956>Stands in your way>Bu bu but Miyazaki and Fromsoft is gonna fail because they partnered with Nintendo!!Cope tranny
>>736162824>AAA gaming is not about making money
>>736162445A cat is fine too
>>736161526Now that steam charts are banned on 4chud and shamed on twitter we can finally start talking about Marathon's successful bouncebackBungie delivered another masterpiece. Me and all my journalist friends play the Cryo every day and we're having a blast
Bungie is on their way out. Say good bye, everyone
>>736162824>this commercial product produced by a for-profit, publicly traded company with the goal of making money isn't about money
>>736167816shut up, he looks just like me, just younger, thinner and less hairy, that being said he is completely wrong
>>736170012He's right about the 200k being meaningless for the consumer because it's a singlepalyer game you could play it in its entirety even if it had 0 concurrent playersMarathon however requires a stable playerbase to function and it is struggling to maintain the few thousand daily players it has
Why is it so hard for some people to just admit it flopped
>>736170940Admitting one is wrong is so psychologically harmful, people would rather come close to dying than experience it. I wish I was kidding.
>>736161526>Critics You mean ASSFAGGOTS
>>736161526If Marathon gets any competition at all it's not winning even the multiplayer category. Hell it might be dead before TGA at this rate.
>>736171439If GTAVI comes out on schedule (in November), wouldn't its online mode just win the multiplayer award anyway?And at the rate it's going, Marathon isn't making it to the summer unless this week's lows (30k) are truly the bottom.
>is bungie's to lose>3 months into the yearlmao?lol even?I'd vote slay the spire 2 for multiplayer game before marathon, what the fuck
>>736172724StS2 humiliated Bungo, so the journo clique probably considers that game persona non grata for any awards.
20k jeets keeping the game alive
>>736173556>still a steady 2k loss day to day in most cases>5k to 10k loss vs same times last weekI wonder where the bottom is before the fabled 'stability' sets in.
>>736165348
>>736174078Well, the thing is they cut a good bit of content to drip back in. That is, ranked, cryo. So, it probably lasts till june with the first wipe. Unless the first wipe comes with a much more steady cadence of updates, like, every 2 weeks max, the game dies off very fast after.That first wipe is gonna be brutal.
