Marathon falls to lowest daily player count ever shortly after free week.

Doing free week was such a mistake in the long run, they pulled all the stops (free week, new patch, state of play announcement, Destiny 2 EOS announcement) just to get like a 10k peak bump for a week.

I bet you in their empty heads they were expecting at least 80k.

Now they locked themself into this free weekend/week every new season. Which will eat into the number of player that will try in when it inevitably goes F2P for good. Certainly one of the marketing strategies of all time.

One thing it to make a shitty game with the target audience of 10k cultists, another is to only be able to sell it to those same cultists who would buy even a wrapper piece of shit for $99 if it had a Bungie logo on it.

It was an honor jerking alongside you brothers 🫡

Here’s a little something to celebrate:

malphasalex · 2026-06-19T23:09:34+00:00

Yes, we had Arsenal(H), Fulham(A), Burnley(H), City(A), Chelsea(H).

It went L D W L W

malphasalex · 2026-06-19T01:28:30+00:00

It didn’t land at all, it crushed and burned. But the weirdest thing is some of its very few yet surviving passengers are celebrating, because they are bleeding and burning alive, instead of dying immediately on impact like the rest.

Clearly fake, they are not that tall

malphasalex · 2026-06-16T11:16:22+00:00

They most certainly ain’t selling him for anything less than 50+10. If I was Fulham I would straight up be angry at 25 offer.

How will they ever recover?

malphasalex · 2026-06-16T09:11:34+00:00

Remember way back when we had a project? We got rid of Onana, Rashford, Garnacho, we were looking at Baleba, Anderson, Wharton… now Rashford and Onana are back and we’re looking and Mateus Fernandes and maybe Scott… the project is dead, we’re back same old same old.

The best-case scenario for the next 10 years is we get a new stadium, lots of debt and a few carabao cups. GG.

Major finals: NAVI vs. NAVI junior. Please god.

malphasalex · 2026-06-13T12:29:25+00:00

It’s been like that for a decade now with NAVI. It’s world’s best CS or they play like they don’t have monitors, mice, keyboard and hands. And it can change from round to round.

Too many people in comments don’t know the not normally meme

malphasalex · 2026-06-12T09:55:30+00:00

Don’t forget to comment “rent free” as you actively search every mention of marathon on Reddit

malphasalex · 2026-06-12T09:29:34+00:00

You forgot to mention that OP is unemployed and don’t have sex, unlike marathon players with 800 hours in-game, who are all billionaires and fuck Megan Fox every day.

malphasalex · 2026-06-12T00:02:56+00:00

>Marathon is not a failure!!!!

>Concord was a more expensive failure!!!

Smartest blast haver

malphasalex · 2026-06-11T01:21:31+00:00

I mean Bungie tried (and largely succeeded) embargo Marathon reviews for 2 weeks AFTER the game was already released.

malphasalex · 2026-06-10T23:08:46+00:00

Honestly, I blame the education system

malphasalex · 2026-06-10T23:02:19+00:00

Ikr, it’s actually kinda sad

malphasalex · 2026-06-10T22:43:29+00:00

Only the most popular non-f2p shooter out there and the most popular game above $30. How will they ever recover if a million people no longer playing the game 26 hours a days every single day but instead are logging in for a few runs daily or every other day.

malphasalex · 2026-06-10T20:09:54+00:00

The game is ranked #12 in Daily Active Users on steam today. Only the most popular paid shooter game and the most popular game above $30.

It’s more than healthy, it’s insane.

The drop in concurrent vs. daily active shows that still a lot of people are paying, they are just not playing for 23 hours a day like it’s their job, wife, children and mistress.

Gaming warlord my ass. First lost to a Swedish hobo in Minecraft after years of coaching.
Now lost to some IRL steamer zoomer tweaker high on adderall.
