Multiple sources tell The Game Post that Bungie is considering a $40 launch price for Marathon, its upcoming PvP extraction shooter.

I think this is an excellent desicion tbh. You all can clamor for f2p.... im not gonna flip flop and act like f2p is mandatory for PvP games. I'm so tired of that nickel and diming shit.

I expected this would be 70 simply cause it's Bungie, would not mind but still consideration..

It's an interesting time in gaming.

I don't know if 40 dollars is a sign of confidence or lack there of.

Final Shape was 50 dollars but it had a built in fanbase via a F2P.

The beta for Marathon is going to have to kill in order for this to be successful at 40 and they must know that.

With this games setting it better have a great soundtrack sounds daft but I honestly think it's success depends on the quality of the music.

The real question.

The real question.

Gameplay reveal has to be at the next state of play the ai/cyberpunk/cloning scifi setting could be a big draw.

 

[Entropi]

They don't have much faith in its quality then.

Get ready for concord 2.0

Get ready for concord 2.0

So you've bent the knee to multiplayer games going to mobile game monetization tactics?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I don't trust the source but Arc Raiders (Extraction Shooter from Embark) just announced a $40 price as well.

I don't care either way. I just want it to be good.

Most of you have written this off and you haven't seen a second of gameplay.

 

[Vertigo]

Figured it would be $70 and digital only.

So, $40 and digital only.

Personally I am all in for Sony's Multiplayer approach for paying up front and knowing I won't be nickled and dimed down the road.

I looked at Valorant's MTX I saw them selling some points package for $35 that's fuckin crazy and people have just accepted this bullshit

But have the nerve to have an issue with buying a full Multiplayer game for $40.

Then we wonder why Gaming CEO's treat gaming as a Casino

Most of you have written this off and you haven't seen a second of gameplay.

Sounds familiar

 

[Vertigo]

F2P being the key to success is a fallacy. Helldivers and Palworld both some thru 10 million at $40.

Suicide Squad, and Concord did alot of damage to PvE/PvP GaaS, specially the ones coming from Sony.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I personally not sure about the game. They haven't shown anything substantial that I can make my mind on. So far it's a game I'll skip until I see some convincing footage.

 

[anonpuffs]

That sounds like a positive change. Old Bungie would have priced it at $70 and told you to suck on it.

 

[Killer_Sakoman]

There's enough GaaS out there. Unlike single player that people finish and buy the next game, GaaS games never end. Thus, every GaaS released already ate a huge chunk of the that gaming market.

Suicide Squad, and Concord did alot of damage to PvE/PvP GaaS, specially the ones coming from Sony.

This is absolute nonsense Concord was written before before the price was even announced
