I don’t really think it’s about me Karoline. I think it’s about the idea that we all have fallen down and that we all wish we could be a little kinder to each other. And we all hope for a little grace and understanding when we get honest with ourselves and the world. And we all have that friend or brother or parent or son that has fucked up but fought to get back on their feet. Or that may be you. Or it may be the one that lost the battle and we are mourning them every day- and asking why couldn’t he fight for himself. Whatever it is- it’s not about me. It’s about all of us. So I genuinely ask you to forget about me- and reach out to someone you love who is struggling and tell them you’ll fight alongside them if they will fight for themselves.
I have a question for the business experts on this app.
If Bungie is on life support and Sony is pushing them to claw back the money they apparently lost, how come we don’t have another Eververse situation on our hands?
There are virtually no micro-transactions at all, we get one bundle a week and it costs what, £10? Hardly breaking the bank. I mean, I wish they would add more skins to buy, especially with the aesthetic being a huge part of why people love this game. They just aren’t pushing micro-transactions on this game at all, weird for a company apparently heavily in the Red and at risk of liquidation.
There are currently 8 bundles that you can buy in the store and 1 standard battle pass, no “black cell” equivalent or option to purchase tier skips. Funny 🧍♂️I figured if they were in the Red the way people keep saying they are, they’d actually monetise things?
And this is just launch content, thinking long term, they’ll only add more skins, more battle passes, you see actual business experts think about the long term, that’s why they work at Sony and Bungie respectively.
1.2 Million copies sold, that doesn’t entail whether it is standard edition, deluxe edition, or collectors edition, so once again the sales revenue numbers won’t be accurate, if any of the numbers were to begin with.
Also, for Bungie to of apparently banked their entire company on developing Marathon for the past six years and they’re heavily in the red, the game is oddly cheap, £40? I mean, if they priced it cheaply because they thought nobody would pay more than that with it being a niche genre, clearly they’re not worried, never expected it to be a massive payout, and have bigger things in development, I.e Destiny 3.
The Bungie store is almost always sold out, restocked and sold out again, still waiting on getting the weaveworm plushie but that sells out almost instantly after multiple restocks, which tells you all you need to know, people are buying in troves.
This game isn��t going anywhere but go ahead and waste your time staring steam charts all day, I’m at 160 Hours on Marathon and counting.

Bungie's excellent audio design and gunplay, paired with increasingly complicated level design borrowing from over a decade of expertise designing Destiny raids coalesce into something special. Marathon is proof Bungie is still at the top of its game.

As a young college coach I thought I was pretty sharp and once asked the HC if I could call a few plays during a blowout (looking back, I’m embarrassed I asked). His response is something I’ve never forgotten:
“The one who experiences the consequences should make the decisions.”
