Paul Tassi Claims Marathon’s Budget Could Have Gone Over $ 250 Million
This is not a doompost, we're just taking stock.

This is not a doompost, we're just taking stock.

Sadly, no Bungie fan can make an argument as compelling as these numbers.

Yes, this is a red flag for Marathon and Bungie.

Yes, FiveM is highly competitive with Marathon.

One of Bungie's founders is still in there, working on Marathon.

This means we can't assume Marathon has that much more players than we can see in SteamDB

This seems like a self sabotaging move.

Bungie launched Marathon on a messy note.

This is not the final word but we can't spin this.

It's a harsher policy than the industry standard.

Bungie fans will have a chance to check out Marathon at least.

This open beta won't just be testing the servers - it's a test if the game itself will hold up.

Marathon still needs help rehabilitating its image.

It looks like Marathon has won the fans back, so far.

Bungie may have more beta and early access play periods before this.

If Bungie has to release Marathon this March, this is the right decision to make.

It's now available to pre-order too.

This date may be valid, but it can always change.

There's even a shell you can use if you want to build up loot before entering PvP.

We might be a long way off from the game.

We will be parsin' Parson as part of Bungie's history now.

Sony is making sure they have control over the Marathon situation.

Bungie's figurative bachelor days are soon coming to an end.

At least for now, Bungie has done good.
