>Last week: 3,303>This week: 685FUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAARRRRRRRRKKKKKK MARATHON BROS WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? WE HAD A NICE BOOST FROM LAST WEEK'S NEWS BUT NOW IT ALL WENT TO SHIT... WHAT WENT WRONG? HOW DO WE FIX THIS?
>>748696919servers down for update
I hope they get back on destiny 2 support with how this game's doing, but I doubt it
They’re gonna drag this one out for a long death seen as though they’ve invested hundred of millions of dollars in it already. Makes me wonder how Skull and Bones hasn’t fully shut down.
Marathon was too intelligent for normalfags. So y'all got fucking filtered. Only the intelligent ones stayed. Also they're doing fucking maintenance of course the player count is low. Kys.
>>748696919The game is already dead, no need to compare daily highs vs lows to make it look even more so.
Polishing a turd. You can't force people to like it
somebody post it.>post what?You know exactly what image I'm talking about.
>>748697376That image is forbidden in these threads. The mods will NOT be happy if you post it.
>>748697302lol
>>748697175Did you miss the news? They're bringing back old content that was previously removed from the game and they may continue to support the game in the future.
>>748697302>live service extration shooter fotm garbo>too intelligent Ay caramba
>>748697175who's they? bungie already fired everyone
>>748696919How are the DadsofMarathon taking the news?
>>748697302>TFW to intelligent
>>748696919Marathon is a good game. You should've played season 1
>>748696919They have to make it free to play at some point right?
>>748696919But it says 2539 right thereIf you take peaks, you gotta compare it to peaks, retard
>>748698193F2P didn't do anything when they did it twice before. The first pre launch weekend was F2P and the number spiked to just under 150k, then immediately fell by half the next day.Then they did a F2P week for the start of the second season, and I think it went to about 45k, then immediately plummeted again.Not to mention going F2P would mean they'd never be able to stop cheating, which is already bad in the paid version.
Perhaps they could go the Destiny 2 route by making it F2P and selling a bunch of cosmetics that players would like to show off to their friends.
>>748698969>Not to mention going F2P would mean they'd never be able to stop cheating, which is already bad in the paid version.If it's bad in the paid version then it looks like they can't stop it regardless.
>>748696919
>>748696919Arc Raiders: 40k active playersMarathon: <1,000 active players
>>748697302KWAB
Oh?
>>748699508DON'T FUCKING DO IT
>>748696919If they wanted players they should have ditched the tranny art style for something good
>>748697041Steiner will turn the servers back on. That will stabilise the playercount.
After Concord, I think people are cautious about paying $40 or more for a live-service game they might not even be able to play by this time next year.
>>748699508No, seriously don't post it I just want a normal Marathon thread for once.
>>748699329>daily lowest for Marathon>not even real numbers for Arc (unless you mean 2 months ago)Isn't AI supposed to be taking over the world by now and yet it can't even read simple numbers?
>>748696919We're al busy this week leveling up irl, chud. Next week we'll be back stronger than ever.
>>748699717Post what? What are you talking about?
>>748699725https://steamcharts.com/app/1808500You lost, Maratranny.
>>748699680>only 18 months of live serviceI actually wonder how much damage did the videos claiming the game shuts down next month did.
>>748699725NTA, but Arc was at 38k during the weekend.>>748699797An image that caused extreme troon and janny seethe yesterday parodying a Marathon item. It must've hit way too close to home, because two Marathon threads got shoah'd over it.
Guys.... I kinda wanna post it
>>748699980DON'T. PLEASE FUCKING DON'T. JUST... ok here, you behave in this thread and I'll allow you to post it in the next one ok? Deal?
>>748699826>literal bot replyI miss when the internet was less brown
>>748699797An image that instantly deletes any Marathon thread. A weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
Marathon players please don't come to this thread otherwise there will be no one else playing!
Ban steam chart threadsBan sales threads
>>748699980Please don't. We need a normal marathon thread.
Describe that image to me. Don't post it, just describe it in detail.
>nearly month 8 of seething about marapeakjust one more month and it shuts down for good anon. believe!
Bungie needs to bring back Destiny as soon as possible.
>>748700142Bump steam charts threadBump sales threadsBully retards who don't understand the value of unfiltered sales data>>748700302>man, anons keep making fun of Marathon!>I bet they're just angry about it! Yeah! That has to be it!I hope it continues bleeding out so we have something to laugh at, at least until GoW Laundry comes out and flops
>>748700114Maratranny is seething lmao
>diz maratranny wuz seething mayne lmaooo
>>748699980
>>748697598the only logical support its turn into offline mode sale like let it die
>>748699980>>748700468Don't do it. Behave.
>>748697302anyone intelligent didnt bother gave it a try not even in the shit slam, you stayed cause you still didnt raided cryo or have a shit fetish
>>748700389>Bully retards who don't understand the value of unfiltered sales datavidya board by the way.
So what happens when the next patch comes out that adds the PVE stuff and they can't get anyone to come back?>>748700661Yeah, and the sales data in question is that of VIDEO GAMES
>>748700291The forbidden image that mindbroke marathon posters.
>>748699980No you don't. Please stay on topic.
>>748697598>oh my SCIENCE are they BRINGING BACK OLD CONTENT for players to blast through quick as fuck because it's all old and scaled for worse gear / lower levels?>BUNGIE IS BACK BABYdestiny fucking sucks lmao
There are 20x more Destiny 2 players on Steam now than Marathon.
Ugh they should just go F2P at this point come on.
>>74870072040k came back just for a night map and one new shell, with the game jumping to like top 10 selling for a few daysi doubt the update will be a blockbuster but it will definitely get people back and make them stay if the pve mode is actually fleshed out.basically>Bungie retarded = nobody comes back>Bungie not retarded (unlikely but possible) = people come back
>>748696919keep making it
>>748700720vidya board retard, VIDYA. Nobody cares if the company isn't selling, or the dog of the developer died, or whatever secular things happen/didn't happen. Talk about the game itself or piss off
>>748700964The best time to F2P was on launch day. The second best time to go F2P is as soon as humanly possible.
i'm going to try to pick it up again in a week when season 3 launches but as long a wipes are in the game playercounts are going to bleed like crazy towards the end both because there's no metagame reason to continue and hopping on as a new player is going to blow
>>74870098140k came back for the game's first seasonal update then quickly fled when they saw what it was. The fact the next big patch only got 15k says it all.And the Destiny 2 patch that adds all that cut content back in means it will cannibalize anyone who would look at Marathon as PVE game
Post it. I didn’t save it
>>748701046Trying to push this "you can't talk about vidya-related things on the video game board, so stop talking about sales data" shill tactic will never work and it's stupidly transparent.>nobody cares if the company isn't sellingWrong. A game's sales performance directly relates to the health of the studio that made it, which impacts the course of the game and their ability to make games in the future.Continue pissing your pants about people pointing out these flops. I'm sure you have a Wolverine thread to go shill in, too.
>>748697302>y'allGo back to ResetEra.
>>748699980You won't do shit. You're too scared. Because you know that the fun will end once this thread gets nuked by your retarded garbage. That is why you sit idly by.
I'd be more likely to pay the $40 for it if Bungie allowed Linux, but since they're actively blocking it, I'd probably rather spend that money on something I can actually enjoy without having to deal with Windows 11's shenanigans.
>>748697302>maintenanceso 600 of the marathon players are just people who leave the game open all day and don't play it?
>>748701148Don't encourage him. The thing is, there's an art to posting memes. You can't just spam it. It's going to lose its punch If people get used to it. You need to sporadically do it across the time frame of months. Don't fucking post it. Ok?
>>748701264Fuck this guy, someone post it so I can get the image
>>748701185>A game's sales performance directly relates to the health of the studio that made itand what are you gonna do about it?
>>748701412Continue posting sales data for these flop games, same as I always have. I'm not buying this shit.
>>748701407I want it, and I cant find it on the archives
Now i'm curious, wtf could it possibly be so bad?
>>748701408Just use 4chan archive and search through the recent marathon threads. It's not that hard. You'll find the image.Mods are lurking ITT.
>>748701540>>748701512If the thread gets to bump limit, just post it then since the thread will be auto saging.
>>748700142and ban xitter threads too
Anyways change of topic: how do you guys think season 3 will pan out? Will they finally go F2P?
BEEN HAVING A LOT OF FUN KEEPING UP ON MARATHONS PLAYER BASE COUNTGOOD THREADING ON /V/
>>748701610Ok fine. We'll post it if we reach 400 replies so the tranny jannies won't sperg out. Everyone else reading this, if you ruin the show prematurely, you are a faggot. Understood?
>>748701680Same. Keep up the good work OP!
>>748701540It's not even bad but I've never seen so much seethe in one of these threads.
>>748701632Not sure
>>748701463>I'm not buying this shit.oof thanks for letting us know. I thought you were some sort of shareholder
>>748701787NO YOU PEICE OF SHIT. FUCK YOU.
>>748697302Kwab.
>>748701787Weeeelp there goes the thread.
>>748701787I hope you die. I genuinely hope you die.
>Anthem took 7 years to make>Concord took 8 years to make>Marathon took 7 years to make>Highguard took 4 years to make
>>748701787Subtly is a lost art, although I hope the jannies just ban the retard posting it if they're going to ban anyone.>>748701847>you can't care about sales data unless you're a shareholder!I love this brainlet take because it really betrays how little you have to actually argue against why sales info is valuable. If a company doesn't perform, it means the games they make get less frequent, cancelled, or they go out of business, and in that situation it doesn't matter whether they're privately or publicly held. Continue malding about consumers having access to this information, faggot.
>>748701787AIEEEEEEEEE MARASISTERS
If I'm reading the charts correctly, 2539 is also the lowest peak it's had yet. Not a good sign to have the lowest peak come right after several days of minorly boosted peaks.>>748701787THIS GAPE WILL MAKE ME GIRL
>>748701787Ugh. Just ban this guy. It's about the anticipation of the thing. If you reveal the thing too early it loses all punch. FUCK I hate you retards. Your lack of understanding destroys good stories. You're no better than bungie
>>748701870>>748701987>>748702010>>748702116Problem? :^)
>>748699670kek
>>748701787FUCK NO NO NO NO FUCK NO WHY DID YOU DO IT NO NO NO FUCK YOU YOU RUNED A GOOD JOKEWE HAD A GOOD THING AND YOU TOOK IT FROM US. WE COULD HAVE DESTROYED THE TRANNIES BUT YOU JUST COULDN'T WAIT. FUCKING JEET DIE.
>>748702161It's still funny, but I'd rather the thread stay up.
>>748701787We can't have good memes anymore because trigger happy Indians will run it into the ground after 2 days.
>>748702219It's not funny can we please have a 1 week cooldown of not posting it so it can recharge it's aura. We can't just ruin this before it gets to the reddlt trannies
>>748702324Personally I just want to nuke the thread
>>748702395>marathon is doing so badly the shills are so mindbroken they'd rather be suicide bombers than let anyone talk about itMaybe they're the real heroes after all because they want to speed up Marathon's descent into obscurity.
>>748697302>Marathon is the Mensa of gaming
Yeah can we start over? This sucks now because the anticipation was the entire point. Mods? Just nuke it.
>>748697376
>>748696919The wipe happens next tuesday who the fuck is still playing?
Someone AI genny the shells using it
>>748696919!#%$ YOU, IT'S STABLE.
>>748702010>If a company doesn't perform, it means the games they make get less frequent, cancelled, or they go out of business, and in that situation it doesn't matter whether they're privately or publicly held.very cool, what about the game itself?
>>748697041If the servers are down, how are 600 people still playing?Or maybe those are the devs.... oh nononono....
>>748699980Please anon. POST IT. DO IT
>>748702778It's poorly designed and ill conceived, which led to these bad sales. You know it's possible to talk about both of these concepts at the same time, right? You disingenuous retard.
I don't understand why Bungie didn't make any kind of traditional single player game since 15 years or something, they literally got degraded into a GAAS slop factory
>>748702659Someone already posted it and ruined the fun. It was all about building anticipation. If you actually post it, it destroys the vibe. I hate Indians so much. No sense of subtlety.
>>748702891TBF, subtlety is a higher level cognitive function, which puts it beyond the capabilities of the average jeet
>>748702834>It's poorly designed and ill conceivedhow?
>>748701787Rangeban India.
>>748701787OH NO NO NO MARASISSIES
>>748702963Poor design:>awful UI and HUD>terrible new player experience>bland, samey gunplay as Destiny 2 PVP>uninteresting humanoid robot enemiesIll conceived:>releasing a PVP extraction hardcore game in a market that clearly favors PVE>doubling down on it until the problem became too big to ignore, so they pivoted to PVE>art style that doesn't work at all for microtransactions because everything is dog uglyIt's almost like you're posting in bad faith, but why anyone would defend this flop game is beyond me
>>748696919this nigga is actually keeping track of how many players play this stupid game. What a sad life
Time to have a blast
>>748696919Test
PSSSHHHHWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
>>748699980Do it.
>>748703190he has been making these threads everyday before and after the games launchserious mental illness
>>748701787
curse Vishnu right now
>>748697302guess bungie was pretty fucking retarded then for not knowing the iq level of their target audience..
>>748701787fucking kek
>>748696919shut upits not a sprint its a marathon and in time we will have more players than minecraft
>>748696919real player count on PS6 is 6 million btwPC fags just can't afford to buy this game
>>748703371>c-curse vishnuYour faggot game will slowly die and you can do nothing about it
>>748703605I don't trust people that throw around the number "6 million". They tend to lie about that number.
>>748701787tranny bros and various other child molesters...... we lost......
>>748701787Jannies please shut it down JANNIES OR JOE BIDEN OR KAMALA SHUT IT DOWN
>>748703371I curse VishnuI spit on the TalmudI knee drop St. Floyd and St. FauciJesus Christ is the light and the wayMarathon will DIE.
>>748701787why are right wingers so obsessed with Trans folk and their private parts? Maybe you're the perverted freaks, not us.
>>748704021it's just the amerimutt wing I think
>>748696919Marathon is a console first experience
>>748701787Post it on X at Bungie
>>748701770Once this image reaches Twitter, all hell will break loose. The trannies will NEVER recover.
>>748704021Never thought I would live in a timeline where 4chan was trannies v pajeets
>>748703903Amen, anon.
Right, someone post it on reddit and twitter and see how big a shitstorm kicks up
>>748703605Marathon is something like 70% on PC m8
>>748704504God please someone do it. Fucking DO IT. I BEG YOU. Please post it on twitter imagine the endless tranny seethe. Holy fuck it will be glorious.
>>748704504>>748704635I'm surprised some street-shitter has not done it already they could make 34 rupees from posting it on X
>>748696919>Can't even be bothered to crop the image or at least set the timescale to less than a week to cover up the part that proves him wrongIncredible
>>748701787lol
>>748704635>>748704690Just to cover our bases, bluesky deserves a post as well
>>748696919I honestly think Marathon still has more of a chance of growth/success than many give it credit for. Bungie is making a big swing with the December/March updates, and it's clear they're going all in. You have to commend the bravery of it at least, given the current discourse around the game.Because Bungie is leaning into their more PvE-side strengths (look at how well they pull this off in Destiny - raids, strikes, hell even gambit) and lowering the bar of entry for this notoriously inaccessible game - I really do think the game has a chance to grow. Coupled with its great world building, its lore, its amazing community, art style, and soon-to-be great PvE sandbox (if it's anything like Destiny) I'm cautiously optimistic.I really do believe Marathon stands a good chance, especially after its December and March updates. I'm not sure I'd be saying that otherwise, admittedly - the updates have given a real wind to my back.I may be blinded by optimism, granted. But man I love this world, here's hoping it has a chance to grow in the future.
>>748696919>market game to trannies>they all just rope and numbers go downwhoa
>>748704736OP is still right (all of that data is the actual numbers), but he's comparing last week's average peak to the current low.But it's still very clearly on a downward trend and these numbers (peaks of 3k) are beyond disaster level for a game like this.
>>748701787impressive how you've managed to kill your own joke within less than 24 hours.
>>748704808It took them 5+ years to make a game with 4 tiny maps. What do you think they are going to put out in 3 months between now and December?
>>748698134i don't play games that are partitioned into seasonsi have a modicum of self respect
>>748701787They hated it
>>748704879I agree, but the desperation to continue having new insane happenings to shitpost about like you have a community or a grift that depends on perpetuating it absolutely fucking reeks of brown
>>748705053You're overthinking it. Marathon is a slow motion crash that's just fun to laugh at. It doesn't have threads in the catalog 24/7, but whenever there's a new fuck up or new low player count, a thread to point and laugh at it is completely fine.God knows there's far worse shit in the catalog already.
>reddit space
>>748701404It used to be over 5000 but they turned off the bots a couple of months ago.
>>748705142Laughing at Maratroons threads are a happy escape from any thread or news whatsoever about the state of the shithole country I live in which is constantly getting worse.
>>748705142It's the lying to bait a thread and then the insistence on "the low is 100 less than it was a couple days ago, we NEED to start a gayop to post this everywhere NOW they'll be SO mad!" that gets me, it's bordering on genuinely patheticClearly even the few players this game has don't even care about it this much
>>748703220>>748703283fucking kek
The day marathon shuts down will be an event like the opening of the eye of terror. The internet will be unusable for a good amount of time as the shitposting will be out of control. I predict at least 5 an heros. God I’m excited, it’ll be like world cup posting on /sp/.
>>748705814Its gonna be weekend at bernie'd until at least the game awards
>>748704021No its definitely you
>>748704021trying too hard, make it more subtle
>>748705960lmao
>>748705698Nah, some of the Marathon threads are low effort, but it's still fun to have them a few times a week since the numbers are STILL going down consistently.>they'll be SO MAD we're talking about this guys!!Isn't a thing on /v/ because it's not social media. It's absolutely a thing for retards like Smash JT who makes daily videos on Marathon to prop up his shit channel, but these threads aren't that. It's just anons laughing at another expensive flop and bully retarded shills and tourists who try to defend this game for whatever reason.
>>748705960Why can't troons just like not be fucking obnoxious every waking moment
>>748708557>>748704156>>748704262>>748704504>>748704635>>748704690>>748704781
>>748701787QRD on thread lore?
>>748697175they couldn’t give a shit about destiny but they are unvaulting content “sometime maybe probably in the future perhaps” because they just could not stand reading about the d1 and d2 fan project
>>748708876Not good examples as I've literally never seen these kinds of retard posts in these threads until the last two days. My guess is it's a tourist trying to well poison because there's no reason these people can't post it on X themelves.
>>748701787Why does this have so many negative replies?
How did bungee fuck up this bad? Fucking Saarfield is doing better.
>>748710101It turns out when you make an incredibly niche game type (hardcore PVP extraction) and combine it with a wierd experimental art style, you scare off the normalfags you need to keep your game from flopping
>>748710101Imagine if Bethesda was ordered to make an extraction shooterGod please make this happen
>>748710209Asha sent the entire studio down into the Elder Scrolls mines for fucking things up these past few years. They'll be lucky to see daylight before 2030.
>>748696919The Marasissies continue to dwindle in number. An inevitable rape is coming. Bungie's holes will be gaped. Finality approaches... embrace it. I look forward to seeing the last gasps of the Marasissies trying to muster the last of their strength just to still fail and then fall.
>>748710651Rapelord, if the last gasps come, it will be around Christmas when the next season launches and probably underperforms. I don't see how Sony gives the game any more chances after that.
>>748697302I was willing to try it but>trust nu-Bungie with kernel level anti-cheatthanks but no thanks
>>748701787very funny/s
>>748696919>less players than Halo Infinite The absolute state
