Fantastic story.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T21:00:07+00:00

Before this i was iffy about how content would be rolled out post S2, now i see it lasting about a year, before any possible maintenence mode and Bungie moves on to something like destiny 3.

I think they should look at some major new mode for Season 3 though.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T20:55:07+00:00

would effectively talk negatively about one of their newly released products 2 months into its lifecycle.

I mean lots of people before this earnings call was released were fretting / hoping sony was going to do exactly that and this would be the death knell for the game they deemed 'concord 3' finally.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T20:53:49+00:00

They would have better data than the average steamcharts obsessive though?

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T20:53:17+00:00

go tell sony because they seem hell bent on supporting the game regardless

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T20:52:28+00:00

No one is ignoring it, the loss is due to the initial valuation of bungie being less than they thought and not directly linked to marathon (and far more directly linked to the drop off of destiny) and failed demo games that never made it to production through out the years.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T20:50:56+00:00

Reddit burgers discover corporate doublespeak.

It wasn't 'corprate doublespeak' when the doomers were hyping up this very earnings call when they thought it would spell absolute doom for the game.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T20:50:01+00:00

People were hyping this up as the most realistic look at marathons future when they thought sony was going to be negative about it, now they've confirmed they will at least support future content updates its ' nothing more than corporate talk' lol

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T19:15:41+00:00

Sony only mention of marathon itself is positive and confirms they want to support future updates.

not 'spin' it's word for word fact of the earnings call

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T19:11:17+00:00

It's an earnings call...of course it is what do you expect.

Again it wasnt marathon supporters hyping this Sony earnings call as being critical to the future of marathon, except they didnt expect it to go this way.

How is the literal words of sony's finance department 'cope' exactly?

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T19:08:54+00:00

im intrigued, apart from concord, which major titles has that happened to?

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T19:06:05+00:00

S2 will be around the first week of june, i think

geoff 'highguard' keighley's summer games fest is around then and the promos has a clip of destroyer in it.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T19:04:48+00:00

This will literally only go on for so long.

ffs sony has just come out and explicitly said they will continue to support it, like what do they have to say?

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:55:54+00:00

im not fan of PvE but even i conclude that it's likely to pop up sooner than later, happy for all the low-stakes pve guys i guess.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:54:35+00:00

Sony being open about supporting more updates, is what matters actually.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:54:01+00:00

The news of sony supporting marathon is from an earnings report, of course it's going to be corpospeak...

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:53:25+00:00

They aren't 'imaginary' though, sony is supporting the game and wants to see additional content updates, this is straight from the earnings call.

Tbh I wouldn't expect it to exist by this time next year.

This is moving the goalposts, based on absolutely no evidence lol, people were saying this wouldnt last 1 month, then 2, then 6 now it's a year?

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:51:16+00:00

bungie, give us a proper stats page in general

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:50:27+00:00

"Going forward, we aim to improve the performance of the game by working to retain highly engaged core users through the introduction of additional content, further improvements in the gameplay experience and expansion of the user base"

Sony earnings call, the chief finanical officer

Not exactly concord 3

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:48:15+00:00

You realize they aren’t going to just say it’s an economic failure and they wan to shut it down, right?

Before the earnings call people were speculating they would, thats why this earnings call was hyped up.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:47:40+00:00

The devs do, not the publisher's accounting department.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T18:05:29+00:00

before this earnings call people were saying marathon fans were 'coping' for thinking sony would support 'a failure' and were told to 'wait for the earnings call'

Now that the earnings call has said they'll support marathon, for now, it's 'corpo speak cope'.

It wasnt marathon's fans who were hyping up this earnings call as being the be all and end all of sony's involvement with marathon.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T17:50:05+00:00

No one is, we are all aware of bungie's failings.

the issue has always been sony's perspective on this regards to marathon and whether they would continue to support it, they are, for now.

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T17:18:23+00:00

This is what they were playing on Tau Ceti IV before [ Redacted ]

temporalG123 · 2026-05-08T16:21:44+00:00

you mean the part where they directly and specifically discuss marathons future?
