Nothing. Arc is easy. Marathon is not. Humans like easy.



Rare Triple Trubisky! Only in Indianapolis







I very much doubt it. From experience anyone says "Explain the hate" and "genuinely interested" ends up playing down any criticism but I'll bite. There are a number of reasons and being "woke" as the leftist mob claim, isn't one of them. Nobody said it was woke. Just generic AAA slop. Firstly; It doesn't offer anything significantly unique enough compared to the other extraction titles in the same price range. Which each have their own unique takes and vibes, some are even FREE to play. Second is the artstyle, it's a huge turn off for many. Myself included, it's too overbearing for my taste. There's also the issue of Bungie being caught stealing artwork multiple times during development and even though they made things right, it still may have been a dealbreaker for many who might have been interested. But funny how the defenders never mention or acknowledge any of these points. Bungie also has it's own internal issues besides that. Another reason I'm not likely to touch Marathon like EVER; is the community. The vocal community on X seems completely deranged. Going from trying to sell me the game as if their lives depended on it after saying I'm not interested in it for the reasons above. They point to the positive reviews, but can't explain why players are going down weekly or why the people who reviewed it aren't playing anymore. I don't want to be anywhere near a community that spews as much toxic vitriol as I've seen from the Marathon community.


I warned y’all back in October about Halo Studios leadership. Yesterday, Halo Studios former art director Glenn Israel revealed why he left the studio last year: He witnessed and was subjected to blacklisting, fraud, rampant favoritism/cronyism and multiple harassment campaigns. He also said, “That in August 2025, the catastrophic mismanagement of Halo Campaign Evolved created an opportunity for senior Halo Studios representatives to temporarily reassign the art team from my unannounced project and falsely characterize my role as "redundant", a plainly retaliatory act.” They move his art team from an unannounced project to Campaign Evolved due to development issues 👀 #Halo





The choice to make Marathon will result in Bungie closing or being re-assigned. This is why Steam numbers matter, btw. Just like sales. Commercial AAA gaming is not for art projects and participation awards.



Black Ops 1 released 16 years ago There will never be a Call of Duty this good again




FKDMG04 is no more. It is a sad day for all of us

@DaysignTTV @TheRandomSignal @PaulTassi If the engine work is used for D3, then it’s a disaster. D2 barely runs good, it’s base 150GB of slop. CPU usage terrible. Crimson Desert absolutely is going to send this game to 30-40k player count peaks, maybe even lower. It’s high time for Bungie to be axed and rebuilt.


Marathon had 44k players last week. Now it's down to 34k Why is it dying so fast?
