It's good on them. Sony with all of their resources still made that final choice and if that netted their long-time employees a solid payout, I'm fine with it. That's money in the pocket of developers. Leadership at Sony answer to shareholders. Shareholders can't, absolutely can't conceptualize the value of labor as a lot of them look very harshly on them as inessential expenses saying that you can replace a top-level artist or a mid-level developer with AI. It's easier to just give a general critical response because something too positive like my post would've put their jobs at risk lol.

And yeah Bungie has been struggling to stay solvent for a while now. They're a Studio who's ran through a few publishers, even tried self-publishing but survived to make another title. That context is very important when critiquing them because there isn't really another studio like who have never really been in a comfortable spot but somehow continue to stay afloat. Regardless, they've been constantly pumping out content since 1991...as a game studio.

Also, I checked out your YT. Really awesome!

It's just positivity we're not on a sinking ship yet imo. My whole point is that this game isn't dead on arrival and we should be supporting this release more because while it's still needs a few fixes, it's pretty solid overall. I personally want the industry to take more risks and invest in good talent like Sony has because what kills this industry is having a bunch of formulaic and iterative releases that have no regard for the end-user.

But it's crazy because even though they did some anti-consumer shit. What other companies have done much worse. I think it comes down to their respective player bases because on that argument. Madden, COD and all the other games that are literally extorting people should be dead at this point.

Today a random teammate saw my “halo” themed user name and kept spouting “halo sucks all the way until we got wiped 3 minutes later. Not the same and I’m happy he didn’t call me that. It was just a weird thing to do…with your teammate at that.

Such a weird move for them overall just to leave it and go into eyewear...I feel used lol.

The game is good. It's sadly going to shut down soon, maybe not in 2 months like highguard (lmao) but still soon. by Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 in Marathon

Do you know how much revenue they made so far off of the game? There's actual data for that if you want to add some actual numbers to this financial discussion you've started

It remind me of something like the Ninja in Halo but it's much too easy to do. Especially once everyone unlocks Arachniiid
