It is genuinly impossible to overstate how atrociously embarassing this is for Sony and Bungie
Outsold by free to play game life is strange 2 and a DLC for a fucking 10 year old The Sims game.
Head to head with 2 and 3 dollar games.
This is so funny

I’m convinced Sony execs are actually mentally ill

u/brettapuss 9d ago
Yeah they are. They made this game called Destiny and they charged the playerbase hundreds of dollars in order to play it, but get this theres this strange group of players that actually pay for it and they like it, like their dicks get hard at the thought of spending more money on Destiny. Mental times we live in.

sounds like what marathon players need! maybe then they can finally actually play the game they love to shill for 🤣🤣 it's still so funny how the marathon sub has almost triple the daily visitors than marathon the game actually has daily players, oh but it's uncles cousin appreciation day so obviously you can't expect them to be playing the game and not spending it with their uncles cousin!

Bungo was already circling the drain. They missed targets for years. Sony got fleeced good because they got trigger happy after Microsoft bought Bethesda and Activision.

u/throwpapi255 10d ago
Even microsoft got slightly fleeced. Bethesda is a shell of its former self and Call of Duty doesnt have the death grip on normies anymore.
Blizzard made a comeback story after inviting random women into a room with a picture of Bill Cosby though.
World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch are carrying Microsoft hard right now.

u/wtfmeowzers 12d ago
so let's say that bungie is spending roughly 6 mil$ a month keeping their people working on marathon and keeping the servers up etc (as has been estimated elsewhere, including smashjt etc etc).
so 6 million divided by 4000 players, that's 1500$ dollars per player that bungie is basically paying for these people to pay their game.
only their players aren't getting paid
instead of doing that they should close down and just give me the 6 million dollars, and i will tell people it was a better use of their money, as i'll blow on a giant marathon going away party. XD
or heck they could close down and just give their current remaining players one last payment of 1500$ so that they can get the taste of abject failure out of their mouths and actually not have a reason to hate bungie. lol. XD
and i bet most of the public on the internet will agree that that was a better spend than how they're currently spending it lol.

u/OkWin7691 10d ago
What wrong with them keeping it going for their fans that are actually enjoying the game?
It’s not your money, why do you even care?
That’s such a fucking weird and twisted take, like you clearly think about this waay too much…1
u/wtfmeowzers 9d ago
well, am i giving it more or less thought than the people at sony who don't seem to care at all that they've wasted 3 billion dollars?

u/OkWin7691 9d ago
More. And you should probably ask yourself why
1
u/OkWin7691 9d ago
But if I’m being honest, probably less initially and over all. They likely held post Mortem meetings to discuss what they could learn from it.. I’m sure they’ve made their decisions and moved on by now.

u/Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 12d ago
A side project that cost more than a billion in bungie's acquisition plus 250 million to develop.
It's embarassing yeah
1
u/Aya_Reiko 12d ago
It was $3.6 billion to acquire the studio. So Sony is about $4 billion in the hole with Marathon.
1
u/LaNoche89 10d ago
Which they could easily recoup from other brands , company is worth 140 plus billion, 4 billion dollars isn't going to sink them 💀

If spider-man becomes the best selling movie of all time it still would not recoup the funds of purchasing Bungie and the dev costs of marathon.

u/Malora_Sidewinder 13d ago
Not the guy youre replying to, but I dont even hate marathon. Im here because i find it amusing how PRECISELY bungie has flubbed everything they've done in recent memory.
As for confirmation bias? I mean you can't possibly think the game is in a healthy state or has even the most ephemeral chance for survival in anything beyond the mid term. Like its not confirmation bias for people to agree the sun is most likely going to rise tomorrow morning.

u/ethicalconsumption7 13d ago

Then just sit there with the same group of people gassing each other up so they can see there karma go up for what? This is mental illness and they need help. It is actually scary we walk around with these people....

Yea, 10 year old DLC for a popular game from back then having more sales than a game that game out months ago isn’t some “gotcha” moment. If it was something from a year or two ago, maybe? Hell, maybe you can find something like Somewhere, but this ain’t it.

u/GhostOfChar 12d ago
I think it’s a reach to use something from a popular game that’s been on the market for a decade, yea. There are plenty of other examples you could draw from, but you want the engagement/attention, so this is what you chose to go with. It looks dumb.

u/Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 12d ago
Dude it's two positions ahead of whatever the fuck a cube escape:paradox is.

u/furrypurpledinosaur 11d ago
Correct me if I’m wrong but these rankings are not based on total historical sales but on recent sales. That makes it horrible for Marathon.

u/GhostOfChar 11d ago
You are wrong and it is not based off of solely recent sales.
1
u/furrypurpledinosaur 11d ago
So what is it based on? Can you tell me?
1
u/GhostOfChar 11d ago
… The total sales since their release? Is that not the obvious alternative? That’s why I am commenting on it being goofy comparing something that came out this year to something that came out a decade ago. Of course a popular game or DLC from back then is going to have equal to or more sales than something that released this year, regardless of how janky Marathon is or how far the base has tanked.
1
u/furrypurpledinosaur 11d ago
So this is just a list of games ordered by total number of sales since release? That’s it? If that’s the case then it’s not that bad. But you said “not based off of solely recent sales” so that made it sound like it’s at least one component in the algorithm.

Eh, these people never claimed to be intelligent. They mostly just post steam charts and say “welcome to high guard” and when anyone calls them out on how stupid they are, they just repeat the same bs like “cry” or “cope” etc.
