@Sony I implore you to have someone interview the developers themselves and see why Deainy 2 "fell behind" even while being so successful and beloved.
The developers are being cheated. The fanbase is being cheated, and you're being cheated.
@Sony It is an incredibly awful look for you due to shortsighted management @Bungie You have a dedicated fanbase with hundreds of thousands of people, vs an oversaturated extraction shooter market with hundreds of competitors. While the Destjny franchise is one of a kind.
I don't personally want Marathon to fail, that's not the point. The point is that Marathon never reached 100k, either with launch or Season 2.
Meanwhile Bungie, being led by proper management, has had some of the most successful launches and expansions in the industry.
@MilexOg@Dexerto Nah, even with D2 being "dead" they still beat Marathons player count usually by double. It's just to show Sony that the playerbase is there, they just want to be respected instead of being treated like cash grab garbage.
@zdr_0x@Pirat_Nation Even with your currently hypothetical, fictional outcome, it would still not be anywhere near the level of failure that was Concord. Look into the facts before spouting nonsense.
@zdr_0x@Pirat_Nation As much as I don't care for Marathon and hate Bungie for how they handled D2 over the years; You have to be in your own little world to think this.
Marathon is more successful and profitable than Concord ever was or will be.
@RZ_GreatLakes@WallStreetApes Except farms are a positive usage that don't pollute the environment. Doesn't contaminate people's water supplies, and doesn't cause power outages.
Maybe work on your own intelligence before making fun of others.
@TheMG3D It's all fun and games to these entitled tyrants until the people's tolerance runs dry.
The saying is "We the People" for a reason, and it's the only reason that matters. Seems many of us need to rediscover that.
@Based_SpaceGoji Maul never knew Anakin, he nearly ran him over heading for the only two targets he was focused on and that was it.
At best, he knew of the name "Anakin Skywalker" in passing but had no personal knowledge of him otherwise before he became Darth Vader. Or after, apparently.
@monetstargazer@WeAreMassEffect They had no idea how to write up a new trilogy, so they just rehashed the old one.
The actual gameplay was leagues better than all the previous titles. But when it came to literally anything else, they failed hard. Even the multiplayer was worse, something so simplistic, ruined.
@monetstargazer@WeAreMassEffect My issue wasn't that, my issue was we went from fighting one universal threat, Reapers, mechanical entities capable of parasitic hive mind symbiosis... To fighting another universal threat also capable of parasitic hive mind symbiosis...
They didn't have any idea what to do.
@ViviD_Dreams25@JamieMoranUK This.
BioWare isn't what it used to be, some people might still be there but the people that had the ingenuity, talent and ability to let mass effect be itself are long gone or nowhere in the position they should be.
The magics sadly long gone.
