Marathon’s director explains why it isn’t free-to-play: ‘Everyone has their own definition of what’s the right price’ (www.videogameschronicle.com)

Marathon will inevitably attract a lot of legitimate criticism, possibly fail outright, and you will have another situation were discussions will be polluted by people blaming all game's wrongs on WOKE.

especially since the bigots decided to hate on it for having "unattractive female characters" even though they literally JUST COMPLAINED about how Emma Frost in Marvel Rivals looks like a "200lb man post surgery in drag" even though she has Jiggle physics and a skin that 's about as revealing as one can get without upping the game's age rating (AKA literally EVERYTHING they want)

do they think that we have the memory of a goldfish or something?

Is this new game even connected at all to the original Marathon?

Nope. It's a multiplayer extraction shooter with a season-based model. Think Tarkov but worse somehow. only-throw no game, only microtransactions!

Literally zero connection to the original games, other than the name.

That fucking sucks. I feel like a proper remake, like what happened with System Shock, could be really neat. But I guess not :/

I know! That's what I was hoping for when they first announced it, and I was disappointed as well.
