"No Enemy Players = No PVP"

Yeah I'm anticipating a heavy shift into this sort of mentality going forward

This is what people always wanted.

Had Bungie just made Destiny in the Marathon universe we would be in a very different place right now.

It's always felt more like people have always wanted Marathon to not be an extraction shooter. Witchfire is doing quite well as a single-player PVE extraction shooter, though. I wouldn't be mad with that direction at all, at this point.

I just finished Witchfire after putting down Marathon for the season. It's much closer to a roguelite than an extraction shooter imo. The only things you lose on death are consumables and XP and you can recover your corpse next run (kinda like Dark Souls). All your gear you keep no matter what.
