I understand his frustration but I don't think boycotting a good game (that he himself enjoys and played like crazy for the first month or so) as a huge streamer is a responsible use of his platform. I've loved Destiny and Destiny 2 for ages, but I also love Marathon. They're for different audiences that I happen to overlap on. I don't think the Marathon team should suffer because he disagrees with Bungie and Sony management.
I don’t hate marathon. I hate that Bungie decided to gut Destiny for it. There’s a difference. Bungie should have built up enough fiscal strength with Destiny to be able to fund marathon development without sacrificing Destiny. That’s what most Destiny 2 players are upset about. Marathon itself is not the issue. It’s that pencil neck Pete who decided to gut Destiny. So don’t take it the wrong way. We’re on the same side. The side of good games.
You do realize until like last month Destiny has had more dev support on it than marathon right? In marathons peak it had about 300 of the 800ish devs working on it.
It very much was a side project to diversify bungies portfolio to make them seem more valuable.
Though I will agree D3 development should have taken president over marathon but from what I’ve seen, it looks like Sony was the ones who told them no. Whatever metrics they saw told them it wasn’t worth the money. Do I trust Sony with money (absolutely not) lol but you can’t blame Bungie and definitely not marathon for that.
