@MarathonTheGame Gear reset is fine, but loosing faction progress SUCKS. As a casual player who can only play ~60 hours a season, that only gets basics unlocked. If faction progress is not significantly smoother, I'm out. The game needs a pve mode to run quests without getting jumped constantly.

@MarathonGG_ The high risk high reward. And to be honest. It doesnt feel right only 3 teams on outpost. It feels to easy. Bring back 4th team on outpost

@MasterDesignLA @MarathonGG_ Cool bro. Give your balls a tug and fuck off.

You can breathe a bit easier Runners.
Sony’s CFO Lin Tao confirmed Marathon will continue to be supported!
Here is what they said in full -
“In our studio business, earnings from Bungie's title portfolio did not reach our expectations, so we downwardly revised our business plan and impaired the full amount of the fixed assets related to Bungie except for goodwill.
Player reception to Marathon is strong, with the game receiving a Metacritic score of 82 and more than 90% of the player reviews on Steam being positive. Engagement metrics such as retention also remain at a high level.
Going forward, we aim to improve the performance of the game by working to retain highly engaged core users through the introduction of additional content, further improvements in the gameplay experience and expansion of the user base.”

@MarathonGG_ @YungSenseiLeon These clowns are so stuck on destiny they cant accept marathon is a better game. Get with the times shittersss. Ppl must really be ass at this game to no want to play it lmfao. High risk / high reward.
But ya know people wanna walk around in proximity chat and ask for friendship

@casualblu3 They gotta figure out matchmaking..
If the objective isnt load in and wipe the lobby on outpost. Dont put these windows lickers on team. They match me with these teammates thinking its Dora the explorers adventures. Aggroing bots, like we aren't about to get aped by a gold team

Marathon solo is as incredible as it is exhausting. Back to back to back to back zero progress runs suck.
You die, fail your "and exfil" objective, achieve only a lighter vault and ultimately backwards meta progress. Repeating of course. Arc Raiders does some very clever things to avoid this issue. Not that Marathon should just copy everything from arc and sand down all the edges.
I really think Bungie could alleviate this by letting us run 1 or 2 side contracts along side a priority contract, so even if you die you are still more likely to make some form of progress.
But idk how else you could address this?
It's just too deflating and feelsbadman.jpg.

@Hollowtide I keep trying to give marathon a chance, but then I get bored and go back to infinite 😂

Marathon. Halo 3. Infinite.

be honest, what games have y'all been playing lately?

REMINDER: Marathon will never hit 20,000 players online again unless it goes free to play, or when a new season starts (and even then, it'll be brief).
Ignore "players right now" it's in maintenance mode.
Oh! And I feel like I say this a lot, but... Marathon had its worst day every yesterday. Cheers!

@BNGServerStatus Please for the love of God, change the server maintenance window. Not being able to play the game from 6am-noon is crazy work. Why not a 3am-9am?

@edgreenall @tomwarren Right, theres no comparison. The 2001 logo looks like a breathing creator precision cut by alien tech. They should have ditched the X ball bs and designed something like the 2001

@RealMarcFoxx Sounds like your bleeding, I guess its thay time of the month for you, find an approved gender fluid doctor for you Manpon needs

@AI_EmeraldApple So you go through all that to mention how they dont make any money and operating at a loss... but dude calls for massive overhaul and redesign.. you thought you were really cooking right there 🤣
English

The Marathon game, Bungie's last Hail Mary, is on a downward trajectory... recording the lowest 24hr peak players of 28k players. This is not sustainable.
Bungie still has 200-300 core live team members with an average salary of $150-200k. Server infrastructure upkeep costs are about $2 million a month for most top-end extraction shooter-style server burden. Marathon is particularly server-heavy, with a lot of its gameplay mechanics residing on the server side to limit cheating. In total, the monthly burn is estimated to be around $4-6 million a month.
Even assuming 350k daily active users... the average purchasers of battle passes for most games of this type is in the range of 10-20%. Even in the case where the people who do engage in MTX buy $15-25 a month in the in-game shop... probably about 10-15% of the player base, the total MTX revenue is only going to be $4 million MAX.
This means even in the most optimistic scenario, they are merely breaking even... realistically, they are operating on a $1-2 million loss a month right now.
Obviously, this is not sustainable.
Can Marathon turn this around with a massive overhaul and game redesign that gives the game the appeal for most gamers?
If the game continues on this trajectory, by the end of 2026, the game will likely shut down.

@Vin_cenzo_ @FreakisFire Got you ya idk its pretty chill. Couple quality of life tweaks but really cant complain. Its def a decent shooter
English

@lsxgen @FreakisFire Yes. Exactly. My main point is many didn’t TRY it for a reason.
I’m solely talking about people who don’t want to try it.

Nothing.
Arc is easy.
Marathon is not.

@Vin_cenzo_ @FreakisFire Lol exactly you watched it... idk i guess you ain't a quick learner. Its fun to wipe a three stack and steal all their shit then dip. But to each their own
English

@lsxgen @FreakisFire It’s not. But just like movies trailers are attention grabbers.
Also watched a ton of gameplay have 0 desire to play that game
