How do you know we are not interested? I would have liked to play these games and I doubt anybody would say no to free games. In this thread only one other user said they wouldn't want to play it.

But of course it doesn't fit your agenda when people point to the hypocrisy of the scenario.

Well since this game can be played on a toaster, whatever device you're using to post on this forum would run the game. Have at it.

Can't wait for your review.

But I'd like to play it on PS5 and get a shiny platinum trophy with it. It's the least to expect from a PlayStation studio.

I also couldn't find the game in the android Play Store.

@Yuniac @Exicide is it possible to review free games on Steam? Maybe I should give the game a bad review asking for a PlayStation port.

Yeah, you think they're going to port ps1 games? Why not some Sony Imagesoft games...

Like you guys are really doing too much right now.
They've literally been porting ps1 and ps2 games to ps5. What's the difference, hmm?

Can’t people understand?

Game already exists on PC… they just republished it on Steam… like a hour uploading it to Steam servers.

It is not like it will be worth to PORT the game to PS5.
They should still do it since they're reusing the IP name on their next major project. It would be a very small portion of their marketing budget.

That game has nothing to do with the controversy, so I wouldn't, but you can review free games if you're that weird to want to review bomb other games that have no controversy.

What's weird in wanting this PlayStation game on PlayStation?

Never mind. I read the message wrong.

I don't think it's weird, but I also don't think it's gonna get you anything. The game has already been on PC and was a PC game, just wasn't on Steam until now.

I don't think you're going to get anything because the Marathon reboot is coming out for PS5 and PC, they probably won't put effort into making that old ass game work for consoles.

Sony releases free game exclusively on Steam.
Nobody will ever give Sony any credit for this. They only remember them to curse them when they do the same every other scumbag company already did before.

When MS, Valve, Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Take Two and Epic abuse you, it's ok. But fuck Sony.

I leave it to you as an exercise to figure what is the difference between Sony and the other companies.

If you still think that's a coincidence, then consider why so many people feel entitled to pirate Switch games.

I might actually have to start putting you all on ignore, which I would hate to do, but it's getting really ridiculous at this point. It's beyond parody.

The game has been available on windows for years. They're just giving what already exists for free. More people are going to play marathon on PC than PS5 and there was really no point in compiling this for PS5.
Is this parody?
If it runs on windows and steam (Linux) then how hard is it to port it to PS5?

It’s not an internal port. It’s a free fan project that’s existed for years on pc and is just being given steam distribution. Bungie isn’t the developer or pub.

A proper console port would actually cost money or at minimum dev kits to the fan project in some form (if it still exists in any real capacity). I doubt it’s planned.

At best they’re Easter egg unlocks in the Marathon reboot itself.

Doesn't matter how many times you write it, people here don't care and just want to be angry at PC/Steam.
