Marathon currently sits at 1.7 million copies sold.
>>
marathon more like maratroon amirite?
>>
>>749686119
The game doesn't need to make money it just needs to own the chuds by having 500 discord trannies keeping the game running all day.

This can't be real. How much in the red are they?
How much are they still losing each month?!
>>
>>749686352
>it just needs to own the chuds
which it did. chuds have been mindbroken sissies about this game since last march
>>
>>749686429
$4 billion well spent.

>>749686119
Why didn't Sony shut down Bungie instead of cancelling Physint? At least Physint could guarantee a good 4 million sales riding off the "Metal Gear Solid successor by the creator of Metal Gear Solid" marketing
>>
>>749686119
sony has said they'll be keeping marathon alive indefinitely 2 million is inevitable chud
>>
I'm no ivy leaguer, but I think $250,000,000 is larger than $44,000,000. Papa Snoy can't be happy about that.
>>
>>749686119
>alinea
*yawn*
>>
>>749686652
And Sony still needs to pay Bungie's ongoing salaries and continued development. It's much worse than that
>>
>>749686764
That $250,000,000 was just the last dev budget cost I remembered seeing, it wasn't marketing or ongoing salaries. They're probably past $400,000,000 by now with all of that.
>>
>>749686119
It's crazy to me you can sell 1.7m units and still fail.

It must be elaborate public seppuku of the company or something.

pitiful when you consider that the total budget is way past $20B by now. this bloody bitch game was truly concord 3...

Blasthavers, how are we holding up?

Does the game have in-game purchases?

Stick a fork in Bungle, Sony. They're DONE.
>>
>>749686493
Because post-PS3 Sony is retarded. Next question?

Marathon probably sold like shit since otherwise Sony would've said something otherwise and it's clear it's a death spiral for everyone involved but

1,7 M, if 56% revenue is from steam then 900k copies were sold to steam
how?
The all time peak is sitting at 88k players. Does it mean 810k people never touched the game?

You can't get a 88k all time peak with 900k copies sold, and it doesnt matter how many time zones we have. Something is not adding up here.

>>749688007
NTA, but you're a brainlet. The number of copies sold when the 88k peak was hit is not the same number as the total number of copies sold today, seven months later.
>>
>>749689285
It was released 7 motnhs ago.
Are you telling me that during these 7 motnhs people bought it 900k times, but the all time player peak didnt manage to get bigger than 88K?
>>
>>749689503
The OP's pic said Marathon sold 1.7m copies lifetime, with no further detail on when those sales occurred except for a probable spike during the free week in June when it got 150k new people to try it for free.

Because there's no data on what the sales by month figure looks like, there's no way to correlate the total sales figure to the 88k peak.

But the numbers tell me they probably had the vast majority of their sales as preorder and first week sales, which led to the 88k peak, but fuck all afterward, which is why the number has only ever gone down.

Cant play, no Linux support. 11% of all English steam users are on Linux now confirmed. So at least 1/10 steam users are using linux.

If we guess the total number of Linux users on steam it's probably 15%+ by now out of the 130+ million estimated monthly active users. So we are reaching 1/8 using Linux very soon.

That's 15 million potential people that won't buy their game.

Not the guy you are arguing with, but Paul Tassi's initial numbers of 1.2 million copies sold was initially reported by Alinea and then Paul Tassi got it confirmed through his sources inside Bungie. So while Alinea isn't 100% reliable, they do seem to be pretty reliable for numbers in this very specific case.
>>
>>749686119
Throwing in a PVE mode won't cut it. People were begging for a true campaign (you know like the original Marathon trilogy had) since the announcement and you told us all to go fuck ourselves.
>>
>>749691990
I believe Alinea. I'd believe raondom twitter nigger and random anon as well if they at least put in as much work in as Alinea.

Asmongold did this. He's an international terrorist basically like Big Boss and Outer Heaven

The nightly lows are back to barely keeping its head above 1k, but the downward trend is clear as day.

And it's another two months until the big PVE patch.

I played around 250 hours and it's clear to me that the game won't ever be good.
98% of the changes they make are just boring nerfs and it makes the game a chore to play, additionally to the already punishing style.

I also, genuinely, hate their UI design in menus as well as player feedback with all those obnoxious screen overlays for status effects and powerups

Alinea overestimates their numbers usually, so imagine how bad it would be if the 1.9 million figure is more than they actually got
