It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.
Let’s get it done, Texas!

@PaulTassi I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea to make a game targeted to people who power through and master content in a few weeks... And think the game would last

NEW VIDEO: Marathon hits a milestone, and I'm also talking about the split with D2 there was a lot of yelling about this weekend

@krassenstein Remember when Trump was called racist for wanting to close borders when coronavirus broke out overseas?
Why are you racist against whatever races these people are?
English

@PaulTassi -Safe pockets
-More stealth options for bots (knifing everything is lame)
-Fewer people on maps
-Larger maps
-Remove trolling shell (thief)
-More and quieter extract options
-Would be happy with just 2 of these
-Obviously none of this will happen, gatekeepers killed the game.

@MarathonGG_ A way to access the story and codex entries that doesn't involve banging your head against the wall

What do you want to see from Marathon’s story as it evolves with each season 🤔
Let us know down below 👇
VGC@VGC_News
Bungie has claimed it has a narrative plan for Marathon that stretches "years" into the future. vgc.news/news/bungie-cl…

@MarathonGG_ Being able to say "at least it wasn't a total waste of half an hour because at least I got something to progress me in my safe pocket"
Oh wait........
English

@MarathonTheGame Maybe if there was a safe pocket, more low profile extract options, and remove the dedicated trolling class (thief) then we'll talk.
English

@MarathonGG_ Safe pockets.
Delete dedicated trolling shell (thief).
More subtle, and more extract options.
Just less punishing and frustrating gameplay overall.
None of this will happen though so it's unlikely I'll return.

@QuantumGuard17 Someone needs to repost their own reasons for investigating Trump.
I remember them complaining about his tax returns non-stop.
English

AOC says she has “no reason” to cooperate with federal auditors investigating her suspicious $22 million net worth.
“I have the same right to privacy as everyone else.”
Meanwhile, investigators are baffled—how does a socialist congresswoman go from bartender to multi-millionaire without something shady going on?
One federal official warned:
“It would be in her best interest to cooperate.”
The walls are closing in.

@Sargon_of_Akkad I'm surprised they didn't interpret the stats about women hating men to mean that this proves how bad men are.
Also the job stats to prove that women excel when all things are otherwise "equal"
English

It is genuinely fascinating to watch three women on the New Statesman podcast slowly come to the realisation they have done something evil.

Great spending time with New York City’s Cutest. And thanks to @NYCMayor for giving me an excuse to break out my best “Wheels on the Bus”

@ArcRaidersInfo More innovation and reasons to play that aren't so grind-based

@be_austin Listening to who though? Seems like it's been the vocal minority since launch.
English

The team is heads down every day, listening, iterating, and making the game better with each update. This is a journey and we’re committed to getting it right. The future of Marathon is exciting.

@TheTrueVanguard It's using phrases like "dumbing down" that makes this game reek of elitism and gatekeeping.
It just needs to be less punishing. As it is now you can spend between 30 seconds and 30 mins preparing for and in a match and end with gains so tiny they are irrelevant. Waste of time.
English

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.
