Marathon stans failed to deliver.
It's yet another day of decline for Marathon
On a Friday nonetheless
57K peak yesterday vs 55K today, from 78K last Friday
It's like watching a trainwreck in slow motion
It's joever.

Don't listen to the meatriders that want you to endlessly consume. It's terribly mid and Bungie has shown no evidence over the years of improvement as a studio. The cutscenes are better than the game.
Don't listen to all the idiots who played for 30 minutes, got shit on by AI and said it was a bad game.
Once you understand the guns, the characters, the maps, and how the game just works in general you'll come to find it's actually VERY addictive.
Marathon discourse has been fascinating; it exposes the double standard around criticism.
Take the art style.
If I say I like it, which I do, nobody really questions it. I don't have to justify it.
If I say I don't like it?
Suddenly, I'm a CoD slop enjoyer with no taste
At the end of the day I do not think Marathon will thrive on the sole reason that it is not a very watchable game. It's like meh to play and I have a long list of issues and criticism, but man, it is not fun to watch my favorite streamers and such play it.
@MarathonGG_@MarathonTheGame I will give the context that i do not like extraction games, so there is a high likelyhood i will not play more than a couple hours.
@MarathonGG_@MarathonTheGame I will download it for the free week, i will under no circumstamces buy a game just to try. If they don't win me over i will not shill for bungo anymore. Too many times have i paid for high promises and underdelivery.
