@GameBoostCom Its not a “should” at this point. Its a “when”.

Should Bungie just pull the plug on Marathon?

@YorchTorchGames Its below 15k today.

Meanwhile, Sony’s $3.6 billion acquisition... This is what happens when the studio you buy is more worried about Black Lives Matter, gender transitions for minors, and Roe v. Wade than about creating a FUN game. Players voted with their wallets. The numbers don’t lie.

@DanieruSenpai @PolishTamales You mean the season wipe? — i.e. everyone’s stuff is wiped. 🤣🤣

@PolishTamales Hey don’t worry the season reset will bring back hundreds of thousands of players!! /s

Marathon Hits Rock Bottom: Under 15K Players on a Sunday Peak Bungie’s extraction shooter stumbled like a drunk, struggling to crack 15,000 concurrent players during peak hours on Sunday. An all-time low during Marathon's retention crisis. How long can Bungie keep this up?

@Apathy_Overdose @PolishTamales You forgot — its too hardcore!!

@PolishTamales "it's not ded, there's still 15k playing it!" "That's just PC, what about console?" "Wait until new content drops!" Did I miss any cope? 🤣

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Sony dick suckers like you are propping a shit number like 1.2m as some kind of a good thing. Nopes. Its a studio ending number in this economy.

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Yeah. Because the bar for success was way higher back then. Bungie would be celebrating these days if they ever sell 4m in a month. That’s how low the bar is these days.

- Hate campaign fueled by the usual grifters & the people who feel burned about Destiny 2 despite it being an 8yr+ old game - Extraction Shooters are niche, especially one that doesnt hold your hand every step of the way which scares off the modern casual audience - Early Alpha Playtest, Art Scandal & the delay to the original release landed a back to back to back blow that spawned nothing but negative talks about the game. Just look at Paul Tassi’s headlines during that time lol - Cheaters aren’t a rampant issue to like 90% of the playerbase but since that 10% is mostly occupied by streamers, it would seem like it Probably my 4 biggest reasons with the cheating one being very distant in contributing to the actual reason.

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Shit games who rode the coattails of their previous successes. T1 sold very well but it was widely panned because of multiplayer only (yeah the bar is now way lower) that also affected T2 sales badly as the next ghost/tlou game will see.

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss You know what I’ll entertain it remember when you said 4m is good number for a game well, will you say they were good games?

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss It doesn’t hurt me. Lol. Today’s marathon peak is less than 15k. Its a good day when these shit products fail. 🤣🤣

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss Keep pivoting brother it only hurts you at the end

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss I’m not pivoting. Apparently the bar for success is beating the original. Tlou2 and yotei are failures then. 🤣🤣🤣

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss Don’t pivot bro, either stand on business say Tf2 didn’t have good numbers so it was a bad game or just admit you are wrong about that statement

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Tlou2 and ghost of yotei are then also failures got it. I guess sony must pissed. 🤣🤣

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss I literally show you how the game was considered a failure and didn’t even pass its first game, stop the running and just admit your cherry picking because you are wrong

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Is tlou 2 and ghost of yotei a failure?

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss 1. Shifting the goalpost again trying to say “oh it didn’t release in a window with multiple extraction shooter” even though you listed them 2. 4 million copies was still considered a failure especially when you can’t outsell your first game. Why are you being dishonest?

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Titanfall 2 is a good game with good numbers. 4m in 2016 >> 1.2m in 2026

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss Just yapping and being dishonest cause you hate the game

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Yeah. And both were played way more on their own launchers. Their numbers were higher than the cost it took to maintain them. Warframe already sold a lot of founder packs to fund themselves.

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss 1. Siege during its early days (year 1) had a huge rough start and was considered as the worst launch at its time, it took them months because the game peaked 2. Warframe had rough months and they even defended marathon

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Marathon did not release in a window with multiple extraction shooter games. If you have 3 multiplayer shooters release back to back within a month, of course they will compete with each other. 4 million is NOT a bad number a decade ago. 1.2m is today.

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss 3. I just don’t get the logic that you put that you would say marathon is bad because bad numbers but T2 has bad numbers and never outsold there first game but you say it’s good? Idk why you just gotta be dishonest

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Because you are bringing a game that did sold well. Yes. Marathon is a bad game with shitty numbers. It can’t even beat a 10 year old game when number of gamers were a fraction of what it is now.

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss 1. So you are now pivoting because you know, you are losing the convo so instead of countering my point you start attacking the evidence 2. It’s dumb right? But yet this is your logic that you used to say marathon is bad because “good game good numbers” right?

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss I don’t even get what you mean. Both siege and warframe are at 100k daily peaks which is 5 times more than marathon and 10 times more than destiny. Damn. Bungie is doomed. 🤣🤣🤣

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss With that logic siege is a horrible game because it couldn’t surpass cod in there rough months, Warframe is the worst loot and shooter because it failed to surpass borderlands 2 and Destiny in a couple months

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Yes. It was EA’s unrealistic expectations. The original titanfall was lightning in a bottle much like the original tlou and ghost of Tsushima. That’s how it works. T2 didn’t fail. It sold as much a good game could sell in that crowded of a window.

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss Titanfall 2 did have bad numbers and considered a failure and didn’t surpass its first game, the only reason you don’t consider it a failure is because you simple cherry picking

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Titanfall 2 DID NOT have bad numbers. It was released in a bad window and still sold double than marathon in half the time.

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss Alright*

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss Yeah. Its a AA game released 2 years ago that failed to gain much traction. Doesn’t that make marathon even worse when it cannot even defeat that a couple months in?

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss Yea which would be hunt tf 😭😭😭, you said hunt is doing better than these games but it’s barely beating marathon and arc raiders is way more ahead than it

@GGSmileyYT @TheNovaPlayss This is dumb 🤣🤣. You are clearly someone who was not around back then. Your AI screenshot itself says it was released in a very crowded window. What is wrong with you?

@crossden123 @TheNovaPlayss And how does that defeat my point you said “good game, good numbers” titanfall 2 didn’t even outsold titanfall 1
