@vesseloftauceti Bro even before the announcement, marathon and destiny were neck and neck on steam. Not even accounting for the console to pc player ratios. Technically weeks before the steam counts matched up, destiny had more players when you factor in console
@c_danick@GiveMeButter How is it not on Sony/Bungie? I'm not anti Marathon, but in a place where you HAVE to choose one, they chose Marathon? They chose wrong, and announced it when they did. Over the new game that alarm has lower player counts? They really thought nobody was gonna care about Destiny?
@A_dmg04@A_dmg04 will we be able to replay cutscenes that before only played once? Like the beginning Final shape cutscene, and the one at the start of EoF?
@A_dmg04 Hey DMG, will we get the ability to replay certain cinematics like from the beginning of EoF and Final shape? That otherwise replay only once then never again
@heikomiko@eyes_of_reality@Pirat_Nation People somehow forget that NMS at launch HAD that interest, 216k on steam day one. Marathon was 88k, with a console to pc ration of 1:2. Yikes. Even EoF got at least 100k, destiny console to pc ratio is about 2:1. And EoF was TERRIBLE. arguably why we're here now.
@sparkman256@Aztecross And Myelin has just been labeling anyone who likes Destiny as crazy as the person in that text. Cross has corrected himself several times that what he said was petty,and that it's ok to like Marathon. Myelin has been doubling, tripling down on how much he hates the D2 community
@sparkman256@Aztecross I agree it was far, but he came back with a more leveled take. And when your game is taken down, in trade for another, objectively worse, not NEARLY as popular IP, people are gonna feel petty, and slip. Nobody's said "Destiny ONLY". Its that it came to choosing, they chose wrong.
@TheTrueVanguard I think there's a good amount of people who played Marathon bc it was in addition to Destiny. But now that Destiny seemingly doesn't have a future they've lost interest in Marathon.
@Aizoku_@Bobbo343@DestinyBulletn It arguably was because EoF just wasn't good. And Renegades was better, but you still had to deal with the systems EoF brought. Almost 100k at least tried EoF on steam alone. Destinys pc to console ratio is like 1:2, vise versa for Marathon. Eof was the worst dlc destiny ever had
@3GunsDown@DattosDestiny Me buying and supporting Marathon just tells bungie "they want more Marathon!". If anything they'd just be even less likely to make a D3 and triple down on Marathon is that's what everyone did
@PaulTassi Why not just release shadow and order story content? It's a cliff hanger either way. Just set whatever they have rn as the character wrap ups they put in the 9th update, at the end of the shadow and order story.
@LoadnvstheGLXY@falloutplays point in time, all it'll do is tell them, oh look they want Marathon. As a Destiny and non Marathon fan, the better bet for a D3 rn is to sign the petition, show up on the 9th, maybe buy some silver, and hope. If it amounts to nothing that's ok. But I still won't like Marathon
@LoadnvstheGLXY@falloutplays I don't want Marathon to fail. But if you HAVE to choose one, they probably chose wrong when you consider Destiny's console to pc player ratio, which is 2:1, and vise versa for marathon, via leakers. If they announced a D3, hell I'd buy the deluxe of Marathon rn. But at (1/2)
@LoadnvstheGLXY@falloutplays (2/2) while D2 might be past its prime, even the worst dlc attracted 100k on pc. Had it been good more might have stayed. There's good reason to believe a D3 would do very well. It's too long for a tweet but I tried Marathon, it's aesthetic just isn't for me.
@LoadnvstheGLXY@falloutplays In a situation where you have to pick one or the other, why would you pick the one that out the gate couldn't even make half its dev cost back? Destiny has already proven it's potential. Marathon hasn't. More people tried the worst dlc for Destiny than Marathon. (1/2)
@LoadnvstheGLXY@falloutplays I don't have a problem with both, but the logic of "support marathon if you want a D3" 0 sense. When the game is already hemorrhaging players and resources. Me personally, Marathon isn't for me.
