Marathon being a free to play game would have made it MUCH more popular. People don’t wanna pay 40$ to “try” out a game that gets good 10 hours in

Fuck off. I don’t have to care about your problem any more than I have to be nice to homeless bums. This societal imposition of “just because someone has a disability means they have special value” is retarded. If you’re a cool person or a nice person, I’d go to bat for you 100%. But demanding the world cater itself to how you were born abnormally in some way, is delusional.

KitKat is owned by Nestlé. Nestlé is one of the most unethical companies in the world. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Nestlé wanted to grow its infant formula sales in developing countries, especially in Africa. So they came up with a strategy. They gave free baby formula to new mothers and promoted it as better than mother’s milk. At first, it seemed helpful. But it was not. The free supply lasted just long enough for many mothers to stop producing their own milk. Once it ended, they had no natural option left and had to depend on formula. But many of these mothers were poor. They could not afford to keep buying it. So they tried to stretch it by adding more water and less powder. This led to weak and undernourished babies. It got worse because many of them did not even have clean water or proper conditions to prepare the formula safely. Babies fell sick. Some even died. And Nestlé did not even provide proper instructions. No clear guidance in local languages. No support for mothers who could not read. They knew the risks. They still continued. They only reacted when Western countries protested and boycotted them. Even today, they are not fully ethical. And people still eat KitKat.

@specialfx98 Your memory not being able to go back more than a year is not my problem, this is all people were talking about when the literal crime being committed by Bungie was caught.

@shrinkleberry Because every time they did communicate, you had the same brain dead replies every single time or it would escalate to doxxing, death threats and just generally being cunts for no reason. That's the reason they had to make the destiny 2 team account as well

This type of communication has literally never happened from Bungie and it makes you wonder why they never bothered trying half as hard when it came to communication with D2. It's a little frustrating seeing all the effort going into Marathon while D2 was a sinking ship

@Xenoimpulse If people aren't playing the game like an extraction shooter, what would you say they are playing more like if you had to pick a strategy or genre?

Somewhere we went from "The customers not always right but hes never wrong." to the extreme of basically "You know what? Fuck the customer." I mean hey you wanna keep antagonizing your potential customer base, by all means go off champ, see how that works out.

@MasteroftheTDS Marathon and its developers have shown that they want to impress a "modern audience," which is why the developers had pronouns under their names in the promotional Marathon videos. Plus, if you look at their Steam page and expand the tags, you'll see this.

Marathon canceling those GDC panels makes a lot more sense once you read the talk title. “Delivering a high-quality, stable live-service game.” Marathon peaked under 90k on Steam while Arc Raiders hit 465k, and the game is already taking heat over microtransactions and thin endgame. I’m hearing from a source on the GDC expo floor that Bungie is scrambling right now to get things resolved, and the consensus around Marathon on the floor isn’t great. Standing on stage to give that talk this week probably would have gone very badly.
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation

Bungie has canceled two GDC 2026 panels focused on Marathon: one on high-performance networking for gameplay movement and shooting, and another on scaling automated testing from Destiny to support Marathon as a live-service title. No official reason given yet

@MasteroftheTDS It’s unfinished too. They told Reviewers to hold their judgement till another map is released. They didn’t even complete a whole 4 maps. 3rd Map Outpost had an exploit they didn’t know and they had to shut a portion of the map down.

@RawWilson1 So it's okay to support a game that steals people's faces for AI ads, because you can goon to it and ignore the issues. But a game that stole a few decals, rectified the mistake and settled with the artist deserves to be ridiculed 6 months later?

@specialfx98 @Linguine_Dreams @nikos_on_yt You resulting to insults let’s me know I’m on the right side. So, if you wanna keep this conversation going then be mature. Anyway, TFD has nothing to do with why marathon is failing so bringing that game up is irrelevant. So again⬇️
