Nobody says people MUST play Marathon, just please stop putting the game down and actively hating on it and spreading that hate. Is it so hard to praise Destiny and show your love for the game without trying to drag Bungie's other project down?
Now the issue of constantly comparing player count charts gets annoying I know but you don't need them to know that even before EoS was announced Destiny was blowing Marathon's playercount out of the water. Even if they might not be very accurate
If Marathon dies Bungie is going down with it if they don't greenlit new game that will be widely loved by the audience (most importantly Destiny fans).
So I think we should support Bungie as much as we can on our individual levels. Not going out of our way to do something we don't like but at least not trying to ruin the chance of eventually (big cope) getting Destiny 3 or any other Destiny game.
Call me a fencesitter but am one of rare few who understands both sides...
If Marathon fails then so does Bungie. If Marathon succeeds then Bungie lives to pitch Destiny 3 one day. Itโs not a guarantee, but itโs the closest weโre getting to it right now.
The boycotting by creators only erodes the chances of what they really want. Gun to my head between D3 and Marathon Iโm picking the former. We got Marathon though so letโs make the best of it.
Also the โjust sell the IPโ people need to take their medications. In no world would Destiny in anyone elseโs hands besides Bungie feel right. Maybe Iโd trust BioWare, but thatโs a true stretch.
All in all actually give Marathon a shot on future free weekends if you havenโt. Itโs a great game that deserves respect.
