@TauCetiBingus You’re never getting D3, whatever happens to marathon will not impact a D3…

Yes. Lets burn to the ground the last living project the studio is working on. Let’s speed run Bungie getting fully wiped out bc Marathon fails and as a result we get told D3 will never happen along with Destiny servers going fully offline too permanently, shelving the IP forever. Let’s put all the blame on the people that have been pouring their life into giving us these experiences and being shut down by Sony and horrible upper leadership. All the Bungie doomers are reaping what they sowed, and are crying the loudest now. Be so fucking for real. Satirical or not, having a platform and voice this influential and posting this kind of horse shit is further hurting any chances of getting what you’re asking for.

@t0rdruw @CoolRunnerCraig There’s no stupid narrative you can use to make marathon better than destiny objextively. I do not give a shit about your terrible analogies that have nothing to do with comparison of 2 things using objective facts of the masses. Good luck.

@DurkinLane @CoolRunnerCraig is avatar objectively the best movie ever made?

whoever in chat said “crybabies” is right, this is “stomping crying in the grocery store” levels of acting childish 😂 if Cross wants to lean into the loser villain role, hating on other games just to feel tough… we will watch and laugh at his downfall.

@t0rdruw @CoolRunnerCraig God you’re a dumbass. He states “objectively, destiny is the better game” and every objective statistic dictates he is correct. You’re beyond stupid.

@DurkinLane @CoolRunnerCraig so fortnite is objectively the best game to you? and avatar is objectively the best movie ever made? you have the mind of a child im sorry bro

@itsHarrell @PorkPoncho There’s no pivot, marathon is the worst performing extraction shooter out of the ones that “matter,” that was the whole premise, the fact you need a season 2, 8 weeks into a games life is damning in itself and numbers so low you have to remove the $40 entry fee just to try.

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho Bro's getting so worked up, I knew the pivot was coming. Extraction shooters tend to lose players near the end of each season. It is par for the course in the genre happened even in Arc. Also pointing out destiny was going to die regardless is not me stanning marathon.

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho Boy that sure was tough..... never thought I'd prove that point. Comparing Arc Raiders to any of these titles is disingenuous it was an anomaly in the space which is why i didn't compare it to them. Only person pissy here is you.

@GrumpyPawsTV @PorkPoncho Yes, where they had to remove the $40 cost of entry to inflate your numbers. Whatever it takes lol

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho Lmao ill come back with the charts on the new season

Okay so Marathon haters... We've gone from dead on arrival to dead in 2 weeks to dead in a month then dead in 3 months now 6 month and here we have committing to at least a season 3 and 4, meaning a full year for a $40 game which is exactly what I said I would be happy with. What's next? Dead in 2 years?

@lizkailee Going out on a Friday night is $70 for 4 hours of “fun,” gaming has always been one of the cheapest forms of entertainment

Games being $70+ is just so crazy to me

@GrumpyPawsTV @PorkPoncho Your argument is that a wipe drives players back to the game and gives them content to do…exactly what an expedition does. I’m sure you’ll hit 15k with your new “season” you needed 2 months in to get players back, and the free week is a nice touch to boost player count.

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho Ah yes the optional mode that majority people dont do is the same as a forced seasonal wipe for everyone... literally not comparable dude

@GrumpyPawsTV @PorkPoncho Then clearly you’ve never played your own genre. Arc had expeditions which are wipes, do YOUR research

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho Arc has never had a wipe? Dude you need to do research. No wipes between updates you are hating just to follow the band wagon

@SenseWasHere @GrumpyPawsTV @PorkPoncho If you want to pull from this data it’s even more sad. How pathetic is it that with the “same number of unique accounts” you still have 25% the active users as tarkov. Just log in quick to check the shop? Make that make sense? Translates to people not playing the game.

@DurkinLane @GrumpyPawsTV @PorkPoncho In the real world where we look at daily active users because that shows how many unique players are playing a game with unique wallets they can use to pay for cosmetics… Marathon and Tarkov have the same number of players active daily and Arc has 4x more (Steam)

@GrumpyPawsTV @PorkPoncho You’re hurting your own argument, even without an update arc has maintained its player base over the last 3 months, you don’t get to call a game 8 weeks old seasonal when you e lost 92% of the player base since launch. Arc had a wipe too, never saw the drastic drops marathon has.

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho "marathon is not seasonal" is just a lie. new season = new content and a wipe where it resets your level, quest and gear so you have something to work for again. atleast do research on the game before hating on it. also lack of wipes and content in arc is killing the game slowly

@itsHarrell @PorkPoncho Find a single piece of evidence that marathon has even sniffed arc raider or tarkov and I’d give an ounce of validity to your argument. Destiny has always been juxtaposed with warframe. Don’t be pissed at destiny because your game has lower numbers than Fallout 76

What games does destiny compete with? I can tell the ones marathon is that being Tarkov and arena breakout. Up until this recent fake outrage over a Game no one was playing it was on par with both titles on pc. Meaning if the pc version is competing its console numbers are comparable.

@frogpitgaming When the company literally leads the player base to believe there is more content to come with their road maps, and the player base continues to pay for said content and future content, then yes at some point that content is due. Not a delayed update and a rug pull

@DurkinLane Your game has been getting updates for 11 years. That is more than 99.99% of games. You are not entitled to infinite content.

D2 is not even getting shut down. It's just not getting any more content after the 9th. It is, allegedly, getting almost all of the fixes the community has wanted and then being left in a content complete state. That means this entire online tantrum is not because people can't access their favorite game anymore. It's because they feel entitled to more than 11 years of content updates and indefinite access to their content complete game.

@itsHarrell @PorkPoncho You don’t have a point.

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho And? this doesn’t refute my point.

@itsHarrell @PorkPoncho And so is destiny, not stopping Sony from pulling the plug

@DurkinLane @PorkPoncho I hate to be that guy ( no I don’t) it’s on three platforms.

@TheNamana98 Then you can understand the frustration when you give a company $100/yr for 12 years just to get killed 2 weeks before a content patch they've waited 6 months for, that flaunting a marathon season 2 update and "commitment" to Marathon is ridiculous when it has 5k players...

@DurkinLane True. My main issue with everything is praying the game would fail, which hurts that college graduate and those who do enjoy the game. Marathon has brought me into Bungie games, giving Bungie money that could have been used to make d3 but some higher up decided not to do that Oyy

I never played Destiny or even thought about playing it, and I’m glad. From what I’m seeing from that community is a lot of whining, pick me post, and praying for the downfall of another good game simply bc the decade old game they’ve been playing is coming to an end.. Oyy!

@hazeykthx I'm pretty sure it's just a general gaming accepted opinion that Witcher 3 is one of the greatest Single Player RPG games ever...it's in my personal top 3 hands down

I've never played any of the Witcher games. Am I missing out?

@TheNamana98 A company name is a figure head, i can hate bungie without hating the random ass college graduate that got hired on 3 years ago and coded the Marathon UI. Nobody is hating on the dev teams, they are just part of the umbrella that is Bungie/Sony

@DurkinLane Which I understand, so hate on the people responsible for making these business decisions, not the devs that create art and those who enjoy the art created. Oyy!

@trulyyblu 7k is gracious. I remember years ago when people said Starfield was shit, look at it now, on the come up according to marathon community

Marathon players when you tell them their dying game with 7k players is not for you cause it’s too hard. I wonder why no one wants to try it anymore.
