I get the feeling this is gonna live on if the alpha community wills it. There’s a huge lore nerd following (myself included), plus there might be some people that are interested in something like Metal Gear Solid /GitS style PvP but with Halo/Destiny gunfeel.

Not Concord 2 by any means. 🤭

Also, Bungie is keeping quiet cause of the whole plagiarism thing, to no one’s surprise but the ire of the internet apparently. But it’s an ongoing investigation, they can’t just say shit right now. We need culprits and proof and compensation. And that takes time, time the interest doesn’t have. 😅

… but at this point? It’s better to release on low fanfare with lore nerds like myself; a more casual extraction shooter, one that requires more stealth than gun-ho Tarkov/Apex. It definitely won’t be for everyone, that’s for sure. And the art director’s contract should be terminated for art theft.

2cont)… The “extraction shooter” gurus think it lacks the “edge” that Tarkov and Arc Raiders give. Halo and Destiny fans are enjoying the sandbox gunplay but would like some better options to play and match, maybe clans or an LFG system.

But there’s also a lot of backseaters trying to cancel…

Destiny community and the internet’s take on Marathon:

1) Yes, plagiarism is bad and the artist should be compensated for their work. No, the art direction won’t go anywhere; Wipeout and GitS are huge inspirations for the visual aesthetic and it shows.

2) The alpha had *mixed* reviews…

Yep. That's me. I'm a shit, rat ass person. Mmhmm.

Goodbye. Hope your mom likes the way you talk.

Again, we can openly criticize a megacorp for being shady and downright criminal. It is another thing entirely to pin those things to their work, like Halo, Destiny, and in this case Marathon.

Seems to me like you're cherrypicking just to go on blathering about the same shit fr

... did you miss the one where I said "you're right, they did steal, but cancelling pieces of art doesn't cancel the entire project"?

Or are you just cherrypicking comments now?

A million people took Ivermectin to combat COVID-19.

A million people can still be wrong.

I can be an asshole back and say FUCK YOU AND YOUR GARBAGE TAKE.

Stop stealing repeated takes, while you're at it. So original.
