@sorabecareful No, but you don't get it. They don't get to steamroll every lobby now
How are they supposed to have fun when they know people are able to fight back in their lobbies now?

Matheus Carpenedo@xCarpenedo
Todo novo jogo multiplayer agora é um "Concord 2". Mas por que os gamers torcem tanto pros jogos fracassarem? No vídeo de hoje, uma reflexão sobre ganância, visões de mundo e o que dá dinheiro na internet. Vídeo abaixo! ⬇️

Marathon is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
It's an incredibly good game, but the more casual audience seems to be avoiding it.
But if they dumb the game down, it will be considerably worse and I'll likely stop playing it. It's basically a phenomenal game that doesn't appeal, I guess, to a wider audience.
I'm not sure what exactly the solution is, maybe it's better strategic marketing and creative efforts to onboard new players. I'm not sure. But dumbing the game down would likely fix nothing. You might get new players to temporarily try it, but then they're playing a considerably less inspired game and will bounce off it.
I also think the truly bizarre pre-launch hate campaign was SUPER weird. Like, gamers can be such strange people and I say that with peace and love. But I'm not sure I've ever seen a global predisposition to hate a game the way I saw it with Marathon.
People were literally parroting the exact same sentences for months, almost like they had talking points and were collectively regurgitating them. Like the places where gamers hang out (YT, Reddit, Twitch, X, etc) had posts or something hating the game that circulated so much that people just latched onto them. I dunno.
Either way, it didn't do the game any favors. I'm not sure what the best path forward is but good marketing and a positive outward image might help. And the vault wipes are definitely a good thing, that's totally necessary. But I think diluting the game to make it more palatable is the wrong play personally. Short term gain maybe, but over time will actually hurt retention I think.

The game just genuinely oozes The Sauce. If you are falling for the "Concord 3.0" posts, you are truly missing out. I promise you that. You are legitimately holding yourself back from playing a great game.

We gathered some thoughts from people who've played Marathon. Here's what they had to say.

@isolatedrook Early on, there was a ton of people rushing flight control because of this quest, but if you got there first, injected, then ran immediately, it was mad easy
English

@falloutplays I feel like everyone just waits for other players to open it
Used to open it early on solo runs, and everyone would immediately swarm
Now I wait until there's like 5-10 minutes left, and I maybe have to deal with 1 runner 💀💀

‼️NEW Marathon unlock event appears for players!
Some Marathon players are reporting a new “Survey Module” unlock event that just appeared in their in-game messages.
The message references Tau Ceti IV terrain data and tasks players with:
•infiltrating zones (Perimeter, Dire Marsh, Outpost)
•observing surroundings
•learning the zone layout
The event appears to be time-limited (7 days) and may be tied to surveying or exploring maps to unlock new intel or progression rewards.
