[Sad News] Marathon (~$300 million budget) only has enough players to fill around ~350 matches
We /highguard/ now
>from the creators of Halohow is this not illegal to say?
It will be back to 25k in a couple hours
>>736905850No, you don't understand, a few paper pushers still work at the company who also worked back when they were making Halo, so that totally counts! Look, I can even name them!
>>736905898geez this is worst then highguard's peak
>>736905850idk but there's also like 1000 fps games made in the past decade from the creators of call of duty
>>736905898How can you say that when even your graph shows the peak keeps declining and it shows 23k for the last one? It will NEVER be 25k again. Maybe it will go back to 20k. Maybe.
>>736905850Congratulations, you've found the reasoning behind keeping hollowed out shells around as zombie studios. Studios like Bioware have long since had everyone with talent and vision leave, but those studios will never get shut down, because with the name comes a legacy. And a legacy allows you to shove a label like "from the makers of X" on the next turd squeezed from that particular sphincter.
>>736905758ONE LAST BLAST SISTERS WE CAN SEND MARATHON OUT IN STYLE LET'S SHOW THESE CHUDS THAT TRANS RIGHTS MATTER!
very nice
>>736905950How can you say that? You didn't even give Marathon a chance! You people have no idea what's good for you! I hate you fucking gamers, you racist sexist misogynistic scum! We are real women and Marathon is important to us!
>>736906420[GAME OVER]
>>736905758Marathon lost to Starfield.Let that sink in.
>>736906476The worst multiplayer game ever made lost to the worst single player game ever made, pottery
>>736905904>Look, I can even name them!...well name them
Destiny 2 is also on Epic and the Windows store
>>736906476Bethesda has a cult like Nintendo: this does not count.
>>736906591It was a reference to some twitter crashout of one of the devs or someone at Bungie, forgot the name of the guy, but he started to name drop everyone still working at the company for like 3 posts straight in reaction to the exact same criticism that nobody works there anymore from the Halo days, and I can't be assed to look for it sorry.
>>736906423But I did.
>>736906660Nah, it's fine funny story tho. Also, something I think of when the next Multiplayer extraction shooter or whatever game comes out, and they claim (from the makers of x brings you z) we should or someone should try seeing who or what exactly they did in the game they so-called helped with because like they said they have people from the halo days but like what did that person do for fuck sake they could be talking about the janitor that cleaned up the office back during halos development. And like you said, all the real people left now are replaceable interns and Indian code monkeys with the help of ChatGPT. It's like when Highguard and they claimed from the makers of Titan Fall, but did those guys really work on Titan Fall or were they there for, like the last month of development before the game was out so there involvement was like 1 or 2 lines of code. Either way, someone needs to do research each time they try to use that stunt to see how many OG developers from the golden days are still working at the company.

>>736905758What will happen if like 1k people are left playing this dog shit? Will it be like battleborn (rip that game I really liked it) were even tho no one plays it they'll keep the server's up for a few years or do a concord and just pull the plug. Also while I have these 2 comparisons I'll say battle born was nothing like concord besides it failing but even then it was kept alive longer.
>>736908195Battleborn was only kept alive because the industry wasn't in cutthroat strip the copper mode until like 2023. If a live service isn't doing good nowadays it gets the plug pulled very fast to avoid spending any more money on it (also why the dev usually goes down with it)
This guy timed it and it took him 8 minutes to find a match right now. The more this happens the more people will just never launch the game again.
>>736906618bungie has a cult following too
a game so dead it can't even keep shitpost threads on /v/ alive, kek
