Here we go again... Guess what? Sony isn't Interested in racing towards the bottom with their GaaS games and I'm glad they aren't going the F2P route.

Bungie is a premium multiplayer developer and I would love to see them right their ship and have another hit.

Why route for success story, when you just want a game to flop for your agenda.

I am open to place bets. I remember people being overconfident that Concord will be a big success. It's not given that Bungie will be successful this time. I say it will be a disaster. Hopefully it does so Sony can sell this plague called Bungie.

You still dont give a reason why you think it will fail?

Im not betting it will be success, nothing is certain. Especially with gaming media, fans and shill naratives these days in gaming.

But saying something will fail when you have seen nothing of it, and they have a success track record is just wishing it to fail. And you clearly hate bungie so thats why you want it to fail.

Are you a PS fan? Why not want bungie to succeed and make FPS fans happy? Doesnt stop you from playing your games. And doesnt stop anything you’d want as a PS fan

Reason - I don’t like GaaS and I’m still upset closed down Japan Studios.

Seems like Bungie is gearing up after the restructures to deliver.
Final Shape delivered, Destiny 2 continued support, Rising on mobile and Marathon on track for next year.

I am looking forward to a fresh new FPS from Bungie, PS5 Pro marketing with it incoming.

This looks so bad.


Destiny art-style was at least a bit appealing. This game has targeted a modern audience. Bound to fail.

It will be a good day when Marathon will be the next colossal flop for Sony. We will be celebrating the day Sony selling Bungie off.

Its an extraction shooter. Do you know the difference between between a Hero shooter and an extraction shooter?
You clearly know nothing

Also lacks reading comprehension. Quotes article claiming it’s not a hero shooter and takes away the opposite.

Such a weird & bad way to announce more details of your game. It doesn’t even get recognition from PS in a PS blog post lmao I can see this game flopping w no hype on PS & PC players doing the whole die detective & the negative focus surrounding concord/fairgames YouTubers will be foaming out there mouth to turn anything regarding Marathon/Bungie/Sony live service expansion to a whole fiasco not to mention the negative pr PSN requirements has on games on PC yeah good luck.

It will be astonishing seeing PS not take Bungie under PS studios & making Marathon this big hyped up Bungie next multiplayer hit exclusively on PS consoles for it to just miss fire & really make that acquisition a whole disaster. Herman would have to go him & Jim did nothing but miss manage PS studios & made poor acquisitions/investment

If it flops it will just give Sony more reasons to sell Bungie off. Bungie was one of the worst acquisitions Sony had ever made. With that amount they could have gotten Sega.
Even thoe Sega has its own problem Sonic been on fire w annualized release that easily sell 1+ million w a small budget & Sonic cross media being a massive success atleast Sega would lockdown Sonic, Persona, Yakuza & more exclusive to PS allowing them to compete better & have a better release cadence w PS studios output

Or they would buy paramount, god that would’ve been a disaster to

It has a high possibility to flop. The trailer doesn't tell anything and the art style looks like a softer version of Overwatch. Also thereis literally zero hype for Marathon by Bungie fans. Plus Sony is profit-oriented. If Bungie brings more loss than profit of course they will consider selling Bungie. That's how they usually do with asstes they are not satisfied with. There would be enough interested buyers.
Marathon has to perform massively since it’s on Xbox, Xbox is literally a dying a platform & releasing a multiplayer game where the fans of Xbox are migrating to PC & other consoles. When in reality Marathon should release on PS & PC & be pushed as the next big hit by Bungie exclusively on PS consoles. Seeing how PS is selling PS needs more exclusive or they will lack behind PS4 by over 5+ million which would be very scary because investors which they already have been doing further question why PS leadership has continue to suppress, harm & diminish PS hardware, storefront & its own ecosystem for small growth on PC that brings less then 5% sells, negative fiasco type pr & PS gamers just migrating to PC, Steamdeck or Nintendo. These PC ports only bring high profits because the cost is low but the sells brought from PC don’t outweigh the negative effects GOW ragnarok selling 100K-200K max (don’t even count the double dip & people getting them in big discount from keys while splitting w direct competitor & bolstering competitors)
