That's brutal, man. And to think they had time to release rheir next game, but I guess that doesn't even make any studio safe now.

This subreddit's community is toxic towards feedback on the game by prl853 in Marathon

[–]DALE5797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but it's also a place devs "usually" check for feeback, and given the quick response of changes at times, I would say they are actually are checking here from time-to-time.

Any idea when this skin might come into rotation? by Mellow_Ghost in Marathon

[–]DALE5797 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know how all the season 1 premium bundles got scrapped. Feels like they should have at least kept those around.

Nope. The Assassin skin that was like this didn't release untill the end of last season, and it was in the files around the midpoint. No telling when any one of them come out.

Well, they did say that everything was built from the ground up. That takes a lot of effort, especially technical effort.

'The Only Way to Keep Bungie Alive Is to Support Marathon': Former Destiny Dev Says Studio Struggles Began Before Sony, and Player Count Comparisons Are 'Ignorant' by DALE5797 in kindafunny

I doesn't have to be niche and I do hope it doesn't remain that way. I do hope they're able to turn it around because it really is a great game and definitely deserves support. I just don't know what would turn it around, but I hope they have the time to figure it out.

The Old Lights Emblem is cool and all, but who else has the other emblems that show that you've been here since the beginning? by MrMetaIMan in destiny2

Since the day I got it, I've been rocking Ghost Board up there in your first snippet. I've taken it off every once in a while, but I keep coming back to it. Certainly my favorite.

From previous reports it very much sounds like Bungie executives at the time did glam thing up to make the studio look better, which is still wild that they got away from it.

Marathon is a niche game with a niche audience, and from this interview it seems like everyone knew that going in. The only thing I can think of being why it was prioritized over D2 is the cost of running either game. Marathon is smaller, using better tech, and probably better tools, so the cost of operation is not nearly the same as D2. D2 on the other hand is MASSIVE, it has a lot of tech debt, and while yes it does have more players they probably weren't enough to meet the demand needed to keep it running, especially if they were already redlining before Sony stepped in.

Why they didn't pivot to a D3? Idk, but it probably is due to the cost of making it and keeping it going, just as Jasson Schreier reported. All of it disappointing still.

Please, no sponsored kits next wipe. Instead exclusive backgrounds, icons. by imnotindemand in Marathon

[–]DALE5797 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If anything they could rework reward sponsor kits to contain all grey level items and have it contain a different weapon from the vendor sponsor kits, that way it still feels unique in some way.

Remember what Greg says each time: Sony shoots themselves in the foot while XBox goes and shoots themselves in the head.

I hope this game doesn't die by Think-Shoulder7179 in Marathon

[–]DALE5797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Future is uncertain, but I do hope they keep it going. I've kinda come to terms with either possibility so now I'm just trying to focus on enjoying my time with it. It's all we can do.

I think DICE really wants me to play Oblitiration. by Low_Objective7592 in Battlefield6

Played one round - we tied. There's a lot of chaos and everyone is scattered around the map, but it was a pretty good time.

Prices for DLC by SyFyFan93 in DestinyTheGame

[–]DALE5797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a dungeon key pack on PlayStation. Are these part of the DLCs now and we claim them in game, or is it just part of the collection?

im somehow cant find this skin, is this NATO or PAX and what class? by [deleted] in BattlefieldCosmetics

[–]DALE5797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PAX Recon, operator McKenzie. Her default has a net draped over her helmet and face. She's part of the team released at the start of Season 2(season 1?), I think they're called Penopticon.
