[Devastating News] 811 players playing Marathon

NO, NO THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE, I ALREADY MADE YOUTUBE, TWITCH, REDDIT AND BLUESKY ACCOUNTS THEMED ON BEING A MARATHON INFLUENCER

IM FUCKING RUINEEEEDDD!!

How do you get into the closed alpha? Is it invite only or did you have to buy some retarded platinum edition. If you had to buy in and those are the numbers then that's really fucking bad.

influencer / work at bungie / friends and family.

Pretty sure it's invite but the real issue is the godawful player retention.

But there are so many competing games out right now!

And it won't be better 6 months from now. There will be even more games out fighting for gamers' attention. In one day, half of the people in the test stopped playing. I imagine Marathon will have a decent player peak but numbers will plummet within a week's time. Then a year later it gets taken out back and shot.

that's 811 too many

Lame. Pointless thread then. Wake me up when we see an open beta's numbers.

wow everyone hates Concord

let's make a Concord-like game

NOOOO HOW COULD IT BE FAILING

Wild.

The fuck is bluesky?

It's the Russian word for blue.

woke twitter

Marathon was in development way before concord released

that's awful, I hope those 811 people can recover soon

Pointless thread then.

player retention retard

its godawful

influencers

They log in, capture footage, leave and fuck off to go edit it. This isn't surprising in the least.

left wing twitter made by twitters original creator.

all the fags who left twitter had to go somewhere

cope extreme
streamers often play games for days or weeks when theyre engaged with it. they fucked off in a day. this test is supposed to run until may and they already dont care for it. shroud played deadlock for weeks. he dropped this hot piece of turd in two days.

this game looks like pozzed trash but are we pretending that a Bungie game is going to catastrophically flop like Concord? they have a whole pre-built audience of slop-eating pigs that still play destiny in 2025. i see it hitting ~100k at least, probably closer to 250k at least on release until enough youtube video essays come out to convince normalfags it's okay to hate it publicly.

game is a suckcess it is beaten concord plus it just an alpha, chud

that a Bungie game is going to catastrophically flop like Concord?

yes

The fact there's over 6,000 of them should be a warning sign in itself. That bloated team will not be sustained by revenues at launch. Not even by a long shot. That's a Rockstar sized team for something that's not a Rockstar product. Not even close.

ill believe it when i see it but i think you're drastically underestimating the normalfag audience. there are an insane amount of call of duty bros and third world retards that buy that shit up. it's like betting against FIFA.

Have ya seen the state of D2?

I signed up for the alpha and tried to game my responses to the survey purposely but still never got an invite, they seem to be very cautious about letting people in

Another AAA flop

That's even worse then. They had a bunch of shit already made, saw the dumpsterfire that was Concord, and didn't pivot to anything else to try and salvage the time wasted. Like it's bad enough when you fuck up trying to follow trends too late, but these guys had more than ample warning and a clear indicator that the mine was unsafe with the very dead canary in front of them.

Oh thats genuinely sad.

normalfag audience

They are playing other games. If anyone checks it out they will go back to playing other games in a month. Everyone was shitting on it on game reveal, on streamer gameplay.

How is it sad? She's clearly taking the piss on heteronormative customs like getting permanently tied to some moid, and had fun with it

bungie's face when they have to deliver after concord

Wow. Who could have seen this coming? If only someone had a time machine and could tell Bungie to not make a shitty "extraction shooter" with boring robot characters, awful graphical style and "Matrix 1337 code speak" paint slapped on it.

closed alpha

retard

what is player retention

t.

ive seen that somehow, despite its sorry state, people continue to play it and even pay money for its shitty temporary expansions. that bungie spearheaded the concept of unpurchasing content that you paid for and that the absolute faggot goobers that play their games kept paying for the privilege.

Twitter that you can read the comments on posts. That's about the only difference I can see.

i got in pretty easily all i did was lie about my pc specs

basically pre-Elon Twitter Clone, its all Troonslop not worth it

Twitter, but faggier
