>game is a ransom letter to the fans
This has to be illegal somehow
If everyone on /v/>played marathon>convinced 3 of their friends to play marathon>asked 3 of those friends to bring 3 friends to play marathonWe could have destiny 2. All it takes is that much effort. What are we waiting for?
>>750635659why would I do any of this though? Marathon is a soulless corpo turd
>>750635659>If everyone on /v/>played marathon>convinced 3 of their friends to play marathon>asked 3 of those friends to bring 3 friends to play marathonYou get a ponzi scheme.
>>750635582You control the purchase buttons you press on steam/psn
>>750635493>you have to buy shitty game in order to get other shitty gameDamn. A real sophie's choice
oh NO if marathon fails we won't get generic pve raidslop #23094823?
flop flop flop flopmy woke game is a flopplease don't look up the steam chartyou know chuds can't create artflop flop flop flopjust one more wokie flopmy "job"'s welfare by (((blackrock)))now mutilate my cock
>>750635493The funniest part is people believing that Bungie was actually working on D2 again.>>750635659>What are we waiting for?That D1 fan-made PC port.
>>750635493Fuck off, Bungie.
>>750635493So you're telling me that if I don't play Marathon, I will personally be responsible for the second death of the entire Destiny franchise?Oh my god. This is fucking awesome.I'm going to kill an entire multi-billion dollar IP simply by doing nothing. Again.
>>750635659We can have a game that is already out???
>>750635659Even if everyone on /v/ did that, Maratroon still wouldn't break even.
>>750635493my money shouldn't have been stolen in the first place. If they follow bioware no tears will be shed from me
>>750635493God, I can smell the desperation through the screen.
I am personally responsible for this.
>>750635493I would have liked to play the unvaulted content again (shit I already paid for that was removed), but if buying Marathon is what it takes then oh well. Maybe they shouldn't have spent a ridiculous amount of money on a game with a niche art style and a niche style of gameplay using while sucking Destiny dry like a cash cow.
>>750637238Thank you.
>>750635659And if I don't care about either game?
>>750635493>if you don't buy the game no one wants we won't release the one we would make money onOkay retards, enjoy not making money then.
>troon troon tranny trannyhas it truly gotten that bad in the US?
It's the same old retards that chose to kill Destiny in the first place for Marathon. All of these people were credited on Marathon and seem to be running the show still. Bungie's problems did not end with Pete Parsons, or Jason Jones. The entire culture at that studio is beyond fucked. If you're a Destiny fan, take look at Destiny 2 custom clients and private servers. They are not ready yet but they seemingly will be ready before Bungie even begins to add Y1 Destiny 2 content. Total Bungie death, do not play or buy Marathon if you want to see these people go.
>>750635659Why would I try to sell a “friend” on a stillborn piece of shit? I put a lot of time into that stupid fucking game and had enough fun during the first season but at no point in my time with it did I think>why is this game flopping, more people should try it out
Oh boy, another comeback to study. Let's blast our assholes in solidarity with our trans runner sisters and blame the Destiny 2 players (chuds) for all of Bungie's retarded decisions.
>>750637809>So... I completely alienated the playerbase and made our brand toxic waste>OMG, You are like, SO EPICSAUCE! Being a fly on the wall in these studios would be something.
>>750635493kek reminds me of Total War Egypt or whatever they called that
I'm transgender and Marathon is a dogshit flopslop. Just give us more Destiny already, like Nimbus cutscenes
>>750638176The intention was never to make a great game, it was to get bought by Sony and cash out. The promise was that Marathon would be the next Fortnite, but oh well I guess gamer's just weren't ready for this new masterpiece.
>>750637781you lost KEKW
>>750635493Capcom should sue them.
>>750636686Kill yourself pedo.
Part of me hopes that this humiliation ritual never ends
>>750635493I don't want Destiny 2 coming back though. I want it dead and i've just been given the power to make sure it stays that way (note: i have to do nothing)
>>750637809Pete is a god of flimflammery and there's probably a dartboard with his face stapled to it somewhere at Sony
>>750635659If I do nothing Marathon fails, Destiny stays dead and with any luck Bungie goes under. It's a win-win-win.
>>750635659Destiny 2 was already doing well and seemed profitable.
>>750635493>"play game A to save game B goyim">*game A succeeds*>"the success of game A shows that we made the right decision to stop working on game B, all further development will be on game A now :)">*game A flops*>"game A failing shows people didn't really cared about game B but look forward to game C :)"
>>750635493
>>750635659I really fucking tried to like it man but it just sucks
I'm sorry bro, but my mild interest of maybe some day playing destiny 2 again is overridden by my deep hatred of extraction shooters, specially sweatfest ones.
>>750635493Reminder:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFBhqc-9WI8Bungie is straight up powerless now, whatever slop they drop people will just go back to Dawn or whatever next private server will be
>>750635659Buy me a copy and pay me to play then, anon
>>750635493>finish the fightI don't know how something that pissed everyone off at the time is now "cool"
i tried marathon again last weekit's still not fun
>>750638691It was, leftists will tell you it's not, but Bungie is notorious for spinning up a ridiculous amount of incubation projections that never amount to anything (gummy bears, matter, etc.). They are so fucking bad with money, these retards do not need 100+ clubs to waste time with and rock climbing walls. They need to get the fuck out of Seattle and the state of Washington entirely. Also massive layoffs, but a shut down seems more likely at this point.
>buy this bad product that you don't want>otherwise we won't make the good product that you do wantHas this tactic EVER worked?
Is there any singleplayer game with fun shootan and abilities? The closest I've found is Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (NOT the other Borderlands because they have only have one active skill per character and the rest is dogshit like "3% chance to build up a stack that gives +0.3% reload speed")
>>750638397Don't worry anon, the Modern Audience will arrive any day to save us. Like the heckin Avengers at the end of Endgame.
>>750638926>Has this tactic EVER worked?No, but the Bungie shills are banking on everyone having the memory of a gold fish. It only works out for the company that's lying to you. If they wanted to make a good product, they would just make the good product first.
Evennif this game was F2P i doubt anyone would play it
>>750638974
>>750638974Shadow Warrior 2 and Witchfire are the closest things to singleplayer Destiny game that I've played.
i notice that every mention of Destiny by Bungie sends Marathonians into a fit of rage only comparable to a child throwing a tantrumis it because they feel Marathon is on borrowed time and the moment Destiny 3 gets anounced the game will get dropped like a wet towel and effectively kill the IP?
>>750638449lost what?
>>750635659Listen man I like extraction shooters I even kinda liked playing the Hunger beta I shan't be playing this ugly ass game with DOGSHIT ui
>>750639136Fair shout, I should get around to playing Prey>>750639156Isn't SW2 a Painkiller-like? And I already have Witchfire on my wishlist but gonna wait until it actually comes out
>>750635493damn. rip destiny 2 I guess
>>750638926the only time i remember it working was when DMC HD released after DmC and that overtook it in sales
>>750638926Yeah, but only with single player games with dedicated fanbases that want ports of the old good stuff and/or for a sequel of the core games (instead of a modern spin-off/remake/remaster).It often results in regret and disappointment, so I'm not sure how well it'd work even with a games series that has real appeal instead of a live-service game with no existing or pre-existing (sorry OG Marathonfags, but it really isn't even the same franchise or series) fans.
>>750639131Every time they do a free weekend for Marathon, the playercount only goes up for about a day or two and they've done periods as long as 10 days that were free for everyone.
>>750639167Other way around. Everytime I see Marathon mentioned it's destisisters crying about how it killed Destiny 2 and that it deserves to die for doing so
>>750639167>every mention of Destiny by Bungie sends Marathonians into a fit of rageanon I think you got that switched up. the mere mention of marathon makes clitties leak like never before. just look at OP
>>750635493is this supposed to convince me to play marathon lol
>>750639236>every timeThis implies that there were more than 1 free periods so far. SaarGPT...?
>>750635659Make marathon a based right wing game for hitler enthusiasts and racists and white boys and then buy it for me and I'll play itIf you can't do that then I guess bungie is going bankrupt oh well
>>750639239>>750639238the only time Marathon gets brought up is in how much of a failure it is.Destiny fans only laugh at Bungie for wasting recources on this.
ONE DAY THE MARATHON HATERS WILL REGRET THEIR DEEDS AND WORDS
>>750639285That's not implying it, it's saying it. Try reading next time.
>Destiny fans only laughKEEKKKK. Anon stop.
>>750639167>Destiny 3I don't think they have the resources to do that.
>>750635493oh no!anyway.still not playing marathon.just not gonna play it! sorry!
>>750635493They don't seem to realize that vidya is a luxury product and by its own nature me as the customer will not buy it by default. Telling me that I can't get THAT luxury if I don't buy THIS luxury is audacious levels of entitlement to MY money.Fuck these people. I better see them in hell when I get there.
Oh no runners, a non-believer that's been living rent free in our heads since launch!
I think I'll emulate 25 year old games this weekend instead.
>>750639385Kind saar, there has only been 1 free period so far. Steam doesn't even allow more than one a year.
>>750639413Sony is gonna want something out of that 4 billy they spent on Bungoi believe Destiny 3 will be their last chance, if not then they will be disolved
>>750639498Oh I thought they just did one a week ago but that was the humble bundle thing. My bad. But my point still stands, people play the game and instantly leave. I don't blame them either, I did the same thing.
Wouldn’t they just keep supporting marathon if it became successful
>>750639324I literally play Marathon with someone who is a Destiny fan and he cannot stop seething about Marathon despite enjoying the game and pulling in over 200 hours on it I don't know what it is about Destiny as a franchise but it seems to have some form of abusive connection with its fans for some reason
BunGPT will save Marathon
>>750638509If you see a cute girl and immediately start thinking about pedophilia, that speaks poorly of you, not me.
>>750639501Marathon was already their last chanceBungie got bought specifically because of their liveslop experience. They advised on every single liveslop flop Sony made, until they finally got fed up and told them to just make one themselvesAnd it failed
>>750639239You should look on the comments for that post on the "official subreddit". It really is them in despair realising Marathon doesn't have a long future.
>>750639463he has been pretty optimistic up until recently doe
>>750639624Ever since Marathon was announced, Destiny 2 suffered for it. The cope was that everything would be better once Marathon finally ships, but then they just shut it down entirely and now we have this half-assed bullshit where they're going to drip feed old content I already paid for in 2017 and without any new loot or a real restoration of destinations.
>>750639770>redditstay there
i get that you dont want to play marathon and all but i dont think its all that unreasonable to acknowledge that they're clearly going to get shut down if people don't start giving them some money
>>750635493>marathon has to succeed for destiny 2 to unvaultwhy? destiny 2 already had a decent playerbase
>>750639854Then they better give me some good shit if they want my money then! I'm a customer, not a charity.
>>750639854You say it like it's a bad thing. Bungie needs to die, even if the IP dies the community will do a much better job with it than Bungie ever will. Projects like Dawn and Rise will keep it going like what Project Reclaimer and Project Renaissance are for Halo. Fuck Marathon 2026, fuck Bungie. The goose has already been raped repeatedly for over 10 years now, just put it out of it's misery.
>>750635493I'm calling their bluff.Bungie desperately needs money, and while they would infinetely prefer those money to come from Marathon they will not walk away from getting to squeeze the Destiny fanbase some more.Obviously they are trying to convince as many people as possible to play Marathon even if they hate it, but they'll do the unvaulting regardless.
>>750635493>kill the game that was successful to endlessly pop up one that isntpeople always talk about how pragmatic businesspeople are but a lot of them are insanely egotistic and will literally kill their own business just to save their own face

>>750635493they're really going with the>if you don't support our trash, then you won't have any more games!argument lolfine, your terms are acceptable
>>750640109Customers are not charity.Either they give the customer what they want or fuck off. Asking them to support that project OR ELSE is not a smart PR move.
>>750640104Yeah, making money for their company is actually the fourth or fifth priority for these people, their actual priorities are to cover their own assess, get their personal payouts as high as possible, mantain as much control as possible over everything they touch and bullshit their stakeholders as long as possible (or rather, until it's not their problem anymore).

>>750639910the most charitable explanation is that Sony showed them the axe and told them the next major update needs to be a success, making this a plee for help without exposing internal conversation
>>750640139I'm the customer, fuck do I care. Git gud or die in a heap, that's just how business works. Bungie has no right to beg, no one is gonna give them money unless they give something in exchange. And Bungie has nothing good to exchange.
But all I'm doing is nothing.

>>750640040least insane destiny 2 addict
I find the way game developers act incredibly bizarre.No other industry, aside from maybe western comics (dead), has such flagrant scorn for their customers.
>>750640441>mutt immediately thinks of SlopDonaldswow
>>750640549really funny coming from the studio that left Microsoft because they didnt want to be known as just ''the Halo guys''at this point i dont think even Microsoft would take them back
>>750639501Sony wants a successful PVP-focused game, Bungie wants a publisher to pay their bills and let them waste more money on stupid shit like overpriced car collections and adult daycare nonsense.Neither of them give a shit about Destiny anymore. Even if Sony decides to fund D3, they will tell Bungie to turn it into a hero shooter or some shit like that.
>>750640721>at this point i dont think even Microsoft would take them backIt's funny you say that. When Bungie was looking for a buyer during covid, they pitched to Microsoft first. Even Phil Spencer's Xbox knew not to touch them ever again.
>>750640678Slop games get only slop reactions
>"We know how broken trust has hurt you">Buy Marathon or there will be no more DestinyI hope Poria Token and Susan Deane get what's coming to them.
>>750635659Fuck youYou should've done a better game

>>750637809>If you're a Destiny fan, take look at Destiny 2 custom clients and private serversAny recommendations outside of project Sunrise?
>>750635493Oh good another opportunity to cause the western faggot games industry to implode by doing nothing?
>>750636963Marathon didn't cost 600 million kek. And that's going off sold copies.
>>750635659convincing three people to convince three people to play a bad game is actually a lot of effort. I might as well just sell essential oils instead
>>750641120>extraction shooter playing catchup to other extraction shooters while simply extracting the artstyle from WipeOut/Designers Republic with 0 sense of originalityyes its slop
>>750641120the extraction flops will continue until morale improves
>>750635659i have two and i wouldn't do that to them
i dont like either game
>>750641206Marathon cost at least $300M by the time it shipped. Obviously that cost has only gone up since launch, and some people were estimating ~$400M to begin with.
>>750641206>Marathon didn't cost 600 million kek.no instead it cost over 300 millionbigger budget than GTA V4 maps1 gamemodeno singleplayer campaignthats Bungie baby
>>750635493destiny fans are up there for most raped fanbase
>>750640549Is Halo the most desacrated video game franchise?Many other franchises get fucked one way or the other, but they either get forgotten after their latest entries are failures or they eventually get better (even if they never reach the same heights)Halo is costantly brought up and its corpse used as marketing despite being 15 years by now that it's not associated with anything not considered bad and lame by basically everyone.
>>750635493They will just make a destiny 1 remake people will buy it
>>750635659i want more games like the original marathon, i dont want destiny
I would have bought marathon if they MADE IT A SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN INSTEAD OF WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY SHIPPED
>>750641352I don't think they have the time or money to do that anymore.
>>750641352You're giving nuBungie too much credit. That was made by chuds, they'll only port the bare minimum of what the shills say is ok into D2. This is still a culture/spirit war thing to them.
>>750641461No, they needed to ride the extraction shooter craze that totally existed and made a lot of money
>>750641340>Is Halo the most desacrated video game franchise?warcraft
Damage control has begun
>>750635659But I hate Marathon. I don't want Marathon to succeed, ever, no matter what.
>>750635659I bought it and actually told 5 friends to never buy it. It's so fucking bad, I can't believe Bungie is so bad these days.
>>750641484They already are destiny legacy
>>750641139Dawn is based on Sunrise and some stuff is already playable (mostly Osiris stuff, but there is no loot and everything is unlocked by default), and I think there are two or three D1 projects but all of them are "discord friends only" for now.
>>750636686Destiny was kinda fire though be real.
>>750635493I will not pay for extremely shit games just so they can bring back other shit games.
>>750642625Please?
Now guys, YOU told me you wanted Marathon, so where's the support? What happened? If I don't see a rallying of contributions for Marathon, then FPS games like Destiny 2 are going to be on thin ice. Now what do I mean by that? Allow me to explain. I run a BUSINESS. That means I can't just develop games for fun, if you guys want me to keep making FPS games, you guys need to show up and support. Imagine you run a sandwich shop and your meatball subs aren't selling. Would you keep making them? NO stupid. Oh look, a fucking moron in the chat, "Durrr people don't like you anymore, you fell off." Guess what moron, if you count all the people that illegally pirate my games, I'm more popular than ever! Get it, mouthdrooler?
>>750641206>Marathon didn't cost 600 millionNo, it cost 3.9 billion because Bungie acquisition gets factored in.I don't know where you get that /v/ has that many people left anyways>600m / $40 = 15m individual game purchases.>15m / 13 = 1,153,846 /v/+friends bundled purchasesI doubt there's even enough people here to cover the actual 300m unmeme'd cost.
If I'm going to play Marathon then who's going to study its comeback?
>>750643653I will but I would prefer if you didn't play it, for your own sake.
>>750643429Sony didn't actually spent 3.9 bilion for Bungie though, since most of it was to be paid to Bungie employees after some years IF they were still working there.Nowadays I think the cost for acquisition is around little more than 1 bilion or so, and it's liable to get even lower if more of Bungie gets fired.
>>750635659The fucked up part is that Marthon failing could force them back to Destiny. Marathon succeeding actually increases the chance of Destiny 2 being abandoned.
I don't understand why we need to wait until at least October 2027 for old content ported to the newer version of the Tiger engine. Bungie has already admitted to using AI like the vibecoders are.
>>750644601Cause this gives Sony a reason to not fire everyone until October 2027
>>750635659I don't negotiate with terrorist. Especially corporate terrorists.
>>750644601Probably because there are only three or so devs working on Destiny and two of them are waiting for Sunrise/Dawn/Etc. to update their public githubs (and the third dev is designing new trash for the cash shop).
>>750643869I don't know if you can handle the research of such monumental comeback all by yourself.
>>750644787They should set up some Agents in BunGPT
>>750643910You are tripping if you think 2.6b out of a 3.6b deal are in employee incentives lol.>if more of Bungie gets firedYou are double tripping if you think someone capable of holding 2.6b hostage as employee incentives is not savvy enough to have 35 protective clauses to stop the employer from firing people to avoid paying said incentives.1.3b for what is still effectively still a single (liveservice at that) game is still a fucking horrible business deal and every /v/ user and 12 of his friends buying it still wouldn't cover the cost.
>>750635493This reminds me of the time Dattebayo forced people to download Pitagora Switch before they'd release new episodes of Bleach
>We don't want to be known as the Halo studio>We don't want to be known as the Destiny studioThe company created two of some of the biggest franchises in video games. Most can't even create one, and they lost their shit over it when any other studio would kill to have something anywhere near as successful.All of this bullshit could have been avoided if Marathon was cancelled like 99.9% of their incubation projects.
>>750645556I don't necessarily disagree, it's still a horrible deal for Sony, my point was that it's wasn't as disastrous as it was suggested.Also, should Bungie go under, Sony would still get all their IPs, chiefly among them Destiny.
Okay. Well, then we're just not getting any more Destiny. I don't give a shit.
>>750646025As usual, the root of the problem is ego.
>>750635659Yeah well I don't want to play Marathon and I don't want Destiny 2.That is to say, fuck Bungie. Never again will I touch any of their shit, not even with a 10-mile pole.
>>750635659>friendsLOL nice one
>>750635493>If you don't like it don't buy it chud!ok>IF YOU DON'T BUY IT THIS COMPANY WILL LITERALLY DIE!!!ok?When will they make up their mind?
>>750635659I want them to fail
>>750635659I'm not playing Marathon and will convince 3 of my friends to anti-shill for Marathon and Bungie on redd*t and facebook.
>>750647280Buy it and adjust your views to like the game.
>>750647482>Buy itlollmao even
>>750635659I don't play nor shill tranny shit to others.
>>750635493Layoffs when?
>>750647482I didn't even download it when it was free 2 play because it contains malware.You'd need to provide me with hardware and pay me to play this shit.
So this is the power of doing nothing?
>Buy this gay ugly shit and we might give you something you actually wantYou're not giving me no ultimatum, you fuck up ass company. You made your bed, sleep in it.
>>750635493There's some marketer that thought this wasn't a completely amoral, unhinged message.
>>750646042Sony's biggest mistake was paying 3 billion for that shit. At least one person was blinded by the potential and at least one person at bungie was a god tier snaketongue.
>>750647721They're panicking.
>>750635659>4chan has ~20m daily unique visitors>assume 1/10th are to /v/ (likely underestimate due to /v/ being a top 3 board)>we all have to tell 3 friends who tell 3 friends>marathon just needs 18m people to suddenly influx to surviveprobably closer to being right than one would think
>>750647549They seem to prefer doing layoffs in May/June.
>>750647849>probably closer to being right than one would thinkThey lose money on Marathon every single day and this is my single motivation each day to get out of bed and feel good.
So you are saying I can kill two games just be not buying one, what a deal
>>750647947Two for one layoff
>>750635493marathon is on a humble bundle with some games i kind of want but i won't buy it because fuck bungie.
>>750647947Kek
>>750648034I miss when they used to let you adjust how much developers get versus how much a charity gets. IGN ruined that shit.
>>750635493destiny turning people into cucks lmao, bungie cheats on you with a new game and is now saying you need to fund the new one if you want them to keep visiting.
>>750635493>this amount of mental gymnastics instead of just giving customers what they wantthey must really enjoy losing money
>>750635659No they'll simply think Marathon was successful and pump out more Marathon and then MAYBE more of what you really want. Or instead just investor-driven "new" streamerbait trends. It's a trap no matter what once Bungie made this choice, you're better off letting public distaste either legitimately correct them or let them go the way of every other ruined AAA dev as of late and fizzle.
>>750647721Jobs are at stake. Funny enough, the writing is already on the wall. Once a game loses the vast majority of it's playerbase, those of which are the hyped up and the bought the game day 1 players, it takes months if not years to regain or exceed those day 1 numbers.I've never once seen a new season save a game from going under, and I promise you, marathon ain't gonna be the first.Bungie is done, and they have no one to blame but themselves. They certainly can't blame me, I just didn't do anything.
>>750647947YOUYOUDOUBLE-TERRORIST

>>750635659I don't wanna play marathon
imagine the arrogant stupid blue haired bitch that wrote that postsummarized it's literally just "hey so um...... YOU MUST purchase our boring dogshit for us to even consider giving you what you actually want in the first place teehee :)"these people need to be fired and blacklisted from the industry forever
>>750635493I think if a game company goes under, all the code they have should go public.
>>750649000this
>>750635659So it's a pyramid scheme where they don't even pretend to benefit me in any way?
>>750648871>imagine the arrogant stupid blue haired bitchActually, the arrogant stupid blue haired bitch got laid off a few years ago. Now it's a basedllenial that says funny word's like "jamming" and "digging".
>>750635493>finish the fightthey said the thing! i will go out and buy the game now.
>>750635493I still get thrown off by what seems like a serious post typing y'all and expecting me to not lol
Buy the game, you fucking chuds. We're done asking.
>>750635493I dont play multiplayer slop.
>>750635493I will do nothing.
>>750649317make me
>>750635493I can't believe they actually expect anyone besides the most retarded die-hard fans to accept this bullshit.>uhhh we could make more games that you actually like if you buy this shit game you don't!!>if you don't, then that's on you!!unc's really be disconnected fr fr
>>750649317>HAVE SEXno>GET A JOBno>ENLISTno>BUY OUR GAMEnonow what Mr. Shekelstein?
>>750649317I already did, it's terrible. I even got in on the $14 deluxe edition fuck up in like June and still feel ripped off.
>>750649128>woman>fearing homelessnesso i am laffin
>>750638896the climbing wall looks fucking tiny, what's the point of having it? i bet it never sees any use at all, completely cosmetic.
>>750649396STOP HIMHE'S DOING NOTHING
>>750649514She's great to follow on twitter if you need an occasional laugh. She just made up an assault at a Destiny event a few months back where she claimed a Destiny chud hit her and told her she ruined the game. First it was at the event, then it was at the airport but nobody has any proof of it happening. And then she didn't want help with pursuing charges. Weird!
>>750635659>All it takes is that much effort.>Play marathonWhich is a LOT>convince someone else to play MarathonLol lmao Im an asshole but even I have a consience so no fucking way
>>750635493>>750635659>Constantly hear everybody on this website say Destiny is fucking garbage>Suddenly everybody and their mothers are clamoring for Destiny 3
>>750635659I don't like MarthonI don't like DestinyWhy would I
>>750649737There's a lot of potential in Destiny, it really did have that Bungie magic at one point like Halo once did. That's what's so frustrating.
>>750649128>Turned down a 67 million dollar paymentI genuinely do not believe her. Bluehairs will fold like laundry
>>750649952You're right to not believe her, she's a pathological liar.
>>750649952Literally everyone would fold for “rest of my life no work live anywhere I want” money. For silence alone? Then, she doesn’t fucking say anything.
>>750635493>Now that Bungie has explicitly stated>They did not in fact explicitly say shit*yawn*. Anyways. #RAPEBUNGIE
>>750635659>We could have destiny 2what if i don't want it?
>3k daily peakHoly shit. It's actually dead-dead. Bungie is finished.
>>750635659>if we start a pyramid scheme to lure retards in we could save this other shit gameno
>>750650198At least it's now stable.
Why don't they just go all in on Destiny? D2 even made more money than Marathon did while in maintenance mode. I understand chuds like me need to be owned and all, but it seems to be our year.
>>750635493>They're now threatening people for their money while dangling some half sun-baked dog shit in return (they pinky promise)Interesting move. No way can this backfire. I'm taking notes and names btw.
>>750650038Not everyone.
>>750650437Ok fine, $68M to rape you. Happy?
>>750650198The noble sacrifice of those 3k blast-havers will save Bungie and they will be rewarded with fresh new (old) Destiny 2 content.
>>750650416>Arena Breakout: InfiniteNever even HEARD of this shit before, lol. You'd think that game would get discussed 15x more than marathon. Because it damn sure has a lot more people playing it.
>>750648120You still can retard
>>750650640It seems to be more popular outside of the US. I had a coworker tell me about it when it came out, otherwise I probably never would have heard of it either.
>>750649403You'll just wake up tomorrow to find Marathon in your Steam library and a non-refundable transaction in your payment history. Sorry chuddy, you got bailed in.
>>750635659>What are we waiting for?>weLet's see many of your friends you can convince first.
>>750650416>Why don't they go all in on Destiny 2Anon, they were all in on D2 for years before Marathon even came out, and it took so many expensive employees to shit out content that the game never made any money.
>>750650732This unironcally happened with some people when they added Marathon to the Destiny in-game store. It auto-installed for people with Destiny 2 installed to boost stats for Sony, I mean, it was a "bug". But some people still have a license for it.
>>750649128>I refused 67 million so they couldn't silence me!>What happened>I can't tell youI haven't laughed that hard in years. What. Lying cunt
>>750650798Yeah but there was the internal cope that they "captured lightning in a bottle" for a third time with Marathon. And we all know how that turned out.
>>750650838That whole situation being a bug because Marathon is just Destiny 2 under the hood makes more sense than anything malicious.Creative Assembly just adding Total War 3 to my Steam library because I owned TW2 was total bullshit, though. >>750650896Was there? The only delulu cope I remember hearing about was the actual lightning in a bottle quotes from those people who worked on Highguard and thought they had made the next Overwatch.
>>750650640>chinkshit temu tarkovnot much to discuss
>>750650976>Creative Assembly just adding Total War 3 to my Steam library because I owned TW2 was total bullshit, though.Wait they did what?What the fuck is this?
>>750650425It backfired in less than a day and they already asked Tassi to fix this mess for them.
>>750650437Yeah, some people are already that rich. Everyone else though, yeah, generational wealth in a settlement is trivial unless they could get even more money out of leaking it.
>>750651221Yeah, it was last year I think and confused the fuck out of me. They made a news post about it, and it was something like>Hey, thanks to all of our fans who bought TW2!>Because TW3 is doing so badly, I mean, because we're so nice, we're gifting a basic copy of TW3 to everyone who bought TW2And the TW3 version they give you is beyond basic bitch and you'd have to buy something like $100 in DLC to make it playable. It's literally that meme about people smashing in your car's windows and leaving tickets for the Borderland movie on the seat.
>>750651221It’s so you can play Immortal Empires. It’s one of the few completely good things they’ve done with this trash fire of development.
>>750651301>fucking up a press release>in the timeline where AI exists and you can have half a dozen different AI platforms review what you wrote and tell you if there are any obvious fuck ups
When they include a single player campaign in Marathon I'll buy it, until then, no.
>>750650976>Was there? The only delulu cope I remember hearing about was the actual lightning in a bottle quotes from those people who worked on Highguard and thought they had made the next Overwatch.Ah shit I'm being schizo and got that mixed up. I guess I can't find it, I swear I read an article about how they were feeling about it internally and it was that stupid phrase again. Well, something more recent that I know is true is that they really thought this would be a big mainstream game, they said this on that "we're sorry" video they put out last month>We all thought we were gonna bring extraction to the masses, and we didn’t.
>>750651438BunGPT sucks kek
>>750650798>D2 neverade money lieRetard. They only started that shit when they wanted to move over to a new game
>>750651348>>750651378It’s literally just so you can play your old content in the new map. They’re still obviously hoping to bait you to buying the new shit, but Immortal Empires is just better than Mortal Empires
>>750651378Oh. Well that was nice, I guess. Is Immortal Empires better than Mortal Empires, though?I only give a shit about two factions in 3, Tzeench and Chorfs. Maybe Nagash? But I don't know how they implemented him
>>750635493wait a second. i was assured by the shills that marathon was this huge success?
>>750650182I want it. D2 is the game I can always go back to and have a good time. When there is nothing else I want to play, I open D2
>>750651518They never made profit. Did you forget they had a thousand employees in one of the most expensive cities (Seattle) in the US? Destiny 2 made money, but it never made enough to make back what they spent making the game. It's one of the reasons Microsoft laughed them out of the room when Bungie said they wanted $3.6 billion to be bought.>>750651536idgaf. I don't want companies adding anything to my Steam library without my permission.
>>750651610It was a success, in all ways except commercial.
>>750650798>the game never made any money.The game made money, a fuck ton of it. Why do you think every studio tried to copy it in the late 2010s? They thought sci-fi loot shooters were neat? No, it made money. Bungie didn't know how to make it keep making money and wasted it on games that made even less money, like Marathon. They're also in one of the most expensive cities in the world to make games, Seattle. They could put a massive dent in their dev costs if they moved, but they feel that they need to be there for political reasons.
>>750635493I don't care about MarathonI don't care about DestinyI don't care about modern games in general.
>>750651552I’d say so. You get a lot more different enemies to fight and the new endgame crises are way better than ARCHAON IS SPAWNING IN THE NORTH, HE’LL DIE IN A HANDFUL OF TURNS. Chorfs are great, Tzeentch is a rough start but impossible to lose past turn 30, and Nagash is the biggest snowball faction they’ve ever made so if you’re into starting shit but with a god unit and eventually winning everything effortlessly it’s for you. I recommend Vamp Counts instead, they just got a cool rework.
>>750651651nta I but I spot the goalpost moving from revenue to profit
>>750651675Look up the difference between revenue and profit, you dipshit.
>>750651804I don't need to, but it seems you do.
>>750649128>I’m about to be homeless!>pays money for premium twitter account this would be funny if they weren’t lying through their teeth
Uh oh Bungie melty
>>750651692Destiny is now considered retro
>>750639236Oh my god, apathy is so high for Marathon, no threads were made about it falling below 3k 24hr peak.
>>750651909>Destiny is 12 years old
Isn't Destiny 2 more popular than this game? Isn't this just going to make it known as the game tried to use the more popular game as ransom?
nobody wants to play some obviously retarded looking laundry detergent logo aesthetic ass game
>>750651301Hear you loud and clear, chief.
>>750635582If Sony has any of the rights still, it could be considered a form of extortion.
>>750635659I don't like either game and deeply despise far-left developers more than I love anything.
>>750652306>Isn't Destiny 2 more popular than this game?Yes, but that's not really an achievement.>Isn't this just going to make it known as the game tried to use the more popular game as ransom?Yes, this already happened. Every reply to that post is calling it a ransom, and Destiny players hate Marathon even more now.And yes, Bungie is on damage control mode now. They posted their own reply in that post and even asked Forbes to help them. >>750651301
>>750652410Rare Tassi W
>>750642535No you paid brown shill?
It really is just a ransom letter to fans lmao
This game getting the plug pulled on it Concord/Highguard style would’ve been less embarrassing than dragging it’s death out for over a year like this and now holding Destiny hostage.
>>750648396kek
>>750635659I'll make sure to tell everyone not to play MarathonFuck BungieI want everyone over there fired
>>750636686We truly have all the power in our handsWhat was required to achieve this?NOTHING
>>750638926Yeah pretty sure Activision and Blizzard have both done shit similar to this although not exactly the same
>>750636686>"A man can have anything, if he is willing to sacrifice. With your birth comes a solemn vow: You will have nothing. Your privilege is the dirt. In the darkness, only ambition will guide you. The oath you swear, the promises you make, they are yours alone. Your freedom will be the wars you wage. Your birthright the losses you suffer. Your entitlement the pain you endure. And when darkness finds you, you will face it alone."
Hostage holding BlackmailExtortion I'm sure this will have no legal consequences
>>750654298fvark this sounds coolgame?
>>750655091SWTOR lol
>>750635493SEGA takes notes
>>750635493But I hate destiny and wish the worst for its fanbase so no I won't be playing Marathon sorry. I hope bungie has more layoffs, truly I do.
>>750653738It's amazing though isn't it? I love this timeline now.
>BUY THE SHITTY GAME OR WE KILL THIS OTHER GAMEI see they’re busting out the Capcom strat
>>750655792Has this tactic ever worked?Like, for anyone ever?
>>750655091That's from the first expansion for swtor. It's actually pretty good these days if you treat it as a singeplayer game and just do the class stories and expansions and ignore the MMO stuff. It also managed to outlive Bioware since it was moved to Broadsword entertainment a few years ago lol
>>750635659for both marathon and destiny 2 to be taken offline completely. then we wait for destiny 2 to be resurrected by AI slop modders and for Sony and the studio formerly known as Bungie to cry butt tears from their sore butts.
>>750655860I have seen people on this board argue for buying bad rereleases and remasters because the studio will shelve the whole ip forever if they don’t sell well.I don’t know to what degree but the ransom tactic definitely works on at least some people.
>>750635659I did the opposite, I convinced my friends who were thinking about playing Marathon to not play that shitty game.
Total Bungie death can't come soon enough
>>750635493It's funny really, if they'd just called it Destiny: the extraction shooter, instead of marathon it'd probably be doing a lot better
>>750639437MBA degrees have ruined the world. They taught these destined managers and CEOs the concept of the "captured audience" that can be trusted to ALWAYS buy a certain product no matter what, allowing you to ignore them and try to court OTHER demographics. Nobody at Bungie, or even fucking Sony, had ever considered that The Gamers would just choose not to buy a video game that looked like a bad deal.
>>750651651>They never made a profit1 if you believe that your retarded. You don't run a game for 10 years for fun 2 even if it were true it would be because 100 guys actually make game and 1900 collect a paycheck which isn't the games fault it's the useless fat
>>750635493theyre deploying mafia tacticsloltheyre fucked
>>750635659There's at most 8,000 unique human beings on /v/ on a given day, and like 80% of them won't touch anything made by Bungie. Maybe Facebook users will bite.
>>750660418>you don't run your game for funAre you just forgetting they bounced between publishers? They got in bed with Activision for most of that time, underperformed and missed targets, then separated and got some money from Netease, then sold themselves to Sony. Bungie has only ever wasted other people's money and when it came time to waste their own money (after they left Activision) they literally would've gone out of business if Sony didn't buy them.
>>750635659>if everyone convinced other people to do shit they dont want to do then we’d have another thing nobody wants eitherno I don’t think I will
>>750638895their aesthetic is UV gridsit's so damn ugly
>>750659128There are more people who don't buy our product than do, it only makes good business sense to do the opposite of what our customers want.
>>750660831
>>750660641His post is accurate even using your numbers. It's just fantasy to get 3 people to play and an even bigger for those 3 to each find 3 unqique players >8000+24000+72000=104k
>>750660839Get this man a corner office on the top floor!
I don't like extraction shooters that shit was already on thin ice with me. Then I tried that pve mode with a friend and it was miserable. It wasn't fun at all and I already hate the pvpve shit. I don't think I could imagine spending a dime on this and thank god i didn't.
>basically giving the game away in a humble bundle right now >P-please play th gameWildly desperate
>>750635659If you just paid me $100, then convinced 3 of your friends to pay you $100 because they can each convince 3 of their friends to pay them $100, everyone would be $200 richer.Think about it.
>>750662959>Two economists give each other a blowjob in the woods
>>750635659first of all, i dont have 3 friends.second of all, i have never played marathon.third of all, i have never played destiny or intend to.
>>750635493This game was never popular so why are they still trying to make it a thing months after it dropped? It was a stillborn game, nobody bought it, nobody is ever going to buy into it.
>>750663317Trick investors into thinking there's a chance.
>>750635493This is the most honest a gaming publisher has ever been. Better for them to say this PR jargon than to say nothing at all. Unironically 1+ on Bungie's part, dead ahh.
>>750635493>for Destiny 2 to unvaultWhat the fuck does that mean? Can't you play that game right now?
@FBIHi yes, I would like to leave a tip about imminent economic terrorism
>>750663915Some of the expansion you had to pay for was removed for some reason. The excuse for why this isn't a scam is that the content is in a vault. They can rerelease it at anytime. That's what I remember. I could be off.
>>750635659>What are we waiting for?a reason to want destiny 2
>>750663430At this point you have to wonder how retarded investors are to believe this shit.
>>750664215Line probably goes up as long as they all stay it. There's probably a prisoner's dilemma going on.
If Marathon succeeds, why the fuck would they go unvault Destiny 2 instead of maintaining the momentum of success? In what world does this hostage situation make sense?
>>750663915They patched out half the DLCs AND the entire base game out of Destiny 2 (basically all the good parts) to leave you forced to buy the new shit or have literally nothing left to do. Over $150 of content just stolen.
>>750664491>>750664119Just do what MMO players do and play a server that runs those expansions.
>>750635659If a friend of mine tried to convince me to play marathon I would ghost themJust play the vibecoded replacement to destiny two. It won't be noticably different
>>750649583>>750638896The Wall™ isn't for recreation. Much like The Pit™, it is solely used for punishment.>Anon... seems you haven't met your quotas.

PRAY FOR BUNGIE
>>750635659i don't have 3 friends
>>750666986watching pre-troonification Jim will just make me depressed
serious question: why should i have to buy and play a game I don't want and don't like to help out a company? they dont help me out financially in any way at all. Is bungie going to pitch in for my groceries sometime in the future?
>>750667519>Is bungie going to pitch in for my groceries sometime in the future?No but they might pay for a gay parade in your city.
>>750635659>What are we waiting for?For bungie to shutdown and destinytroons to kill themselves en masse. One of the worst games I ever played
>>750667602>Fag parade in buttfuck ohioI would love to see it unironcially
>>750667649ohayo
>>750666581Post your Raid Report and Dungeon Report so that we can take opinions like yours seriously.
>>750635493capcom sales expectations from darkstalkers resurrection
>>750635659If I got all of my friends to play it with me, we'd both just have a shitty time
>>750664470Bungie believes Marathon's failure is directly linked to putting Destiny 2's on life support (same situation as Highguard, "our game is perfect, but haters are trying to kill it!"), so now they want to sell this new illusion to their fanbase: "your favorite game will get some love in the future if the our newest game becomes a huge success".Unfortunately the shill ruined this illusion completely by reminding everyone that Destiny 2 can't "bridge Bungie into future" anymore, because that's Marathon's job now. So, "buy Marathon right now or else Destiny 2 will fucking die" became the message.
>>750635735That's a pyramid scheme not a ponzi scheme you fucking IDIOT
>>750635493>That's a nice Destiny right there. Sure would be a shame if you didn't buy Marathon and something happened to it....Is this a joke? Am I being filmed right now? How can these people fuck up this spectacularly and still be so arrogant?
>>750649737I've always loved destiny since I started playing in 2017, I did however spend the majority of my time with it feeling like the game's best time is over and bungie ruined it lol>>750668048Crucible report matters more
>>750666986Broken clock, etc etc.
Bungie responded to this retard and clarified that marathon's success or failure have no sway over the future of destiny or unvaulting d2 content
>>750635493>we will close destiny 2>*marathon bombs*>ok we will bring back destiny 2, but first you gotta buy marathonno mario
>>750666631funny because "bad" shooter players love destiny autoaim slop
>>750669087>Am I being filmed right now?Yes.
>>750669347And you believed them? They have no say in the matter, Sony can close them at any time.
>>750635493Nobody else does it like Bungie that's why they are the kings>best gunplay in the industry>incredibly art direction>unparalleled originality>monetization so good it feels like a crime
>>750635493whats he talking about "if" marathon fails
>>750670161b8
>>750670226Bungie has been hallucinating for months that if they add some garbage PvE mode then Marathon will become a success. Bungiedrones all believe that they will right the ship and make it a success somehow by December.
>>750635493There's no ransom, nigga. Doing shit costs money, and Bungie's only real revenue stream right now is Marathon. So if D2fags want their shitass MMO back they better get on that piece of shit exfil game. That's just business.
>>750635493I'm glad I played some months of apex legends in order for titanfall 3 to get greenlit
>>750635493Yeah I'll do the good thing of not negotiating with terrorists and wait until sony axes them. The market will fix itself and a new dev will handle marathon/destiny far better than bungie ever did.
>>750669347They only said that because every reply to that shill's twatter post was basically telling Bungie to shove Marathon up their asses and die.And honestly the shill isn't wrong. Bungie said it very clearly: Marathon is Bungie's future, and december and march's updates will shape Bungie's future. Marathon's failure will kill both Bungie and Destiny eventually.They aren't updating D2 with old content because they love working on free updates for Destiny, they just want D2 players to stop shitting on Marathon (and buy it as soon as possible).
>>750635659Fuck off
>>750670339just gotta wait for the christmas bump
>>750649737As a Destiny player it's mostly Bungie employees lurking here, we know nobody here likes live service, we're the most oppressed minority.
>>750670407>The market will fix itself and a new dev will handle marathon/destiny far better than bungie ever did.In all likelihood the IP will be shelved by Sony and that'll be that. Honestly there's no other devs in the AAA space right now with FPS know-how on par with Bungie's. The only ones that come to mind are id, and they got gutted.
I'm tired of Bungie's bullshit, I'll just wait for Dawn private servers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2BsDJfJCAU
>>750646025>All of this bullshit could have been avoided if Marathon was cancelled like 99.9% of their incubation projects.I guarantee you all those incubation projects were green-lighted the moment Pete Parsons decided he wanted to sell the company to increase the value of the studio. Ubisoft tried the same thing holding Skull and Bones in development hell because they didn't want to release the turd and hoped a buyer would deal with that mess. No one bit. The game released and was a bomb and Ubisoft is basically done. Bungie would have been in this position too if not for Sony's retardation
>>750635659Ignoring the fact that it would require you to buy Marathon, Destiny 2 doesn't deserve a comeback.
>do nothing>"win"can someone explain to me what was "won" when a studio and IPs you use to love go under and the people that caused that to happen use their nepo connections to ruin another studio and continue collecting paychecks?
FUCK DESTINYFUCK (not) MARATHONFUCK BUNGIEFUCK SONYGET RAPED AND GAPED!!!!
>>750670609>FPS know-how on par with Bungie's>Gun go bang in the direction you point>This is esoteric and secret knowledge according to bungie dick ridersNTA and I don't really give a shit if Destiny or Marathon continue. I just really fucking hate the knob gobbling you retards give bungie for making bog standard fps gameplay. They have done absolutely nothing to enhance fps gameplay in their entire history.If you retards ever mentioned aesthetics, atmosphere or art direction, I'd even agree with you. Because Destiny has some absolutely gorgeous skyboxes and a sort of interesting art direction. Same with Halo.But they have done nothing new, gameplay wise, ever. The shields in Halo even dragged everyone else into the brown and bloom era of shooters because it got rid of real health.
>>750668048Im not playing your turd long enough to acquire whatever mental defficiency you did to keep playing it after the 6th hour
