Something feels really weird.
Looking to Steam DB. Right now at my current time, it shows a total of 30k or more reviews all with great positivity and a total of ~56k playing at this moment. We know, from Tassi's admission of having an insider, that Marathon's main player base is on the PC. Over half the reviews have to somehow correlate to the current players on at this moment. Is that not suspicious as heck?
Edit: The reason why it feels so suspicious is that we know there are sponsors. ie:Ones paid to play and give a not so negative review to receive the pay out.

After a night of more negative reviews we hit 86.5% positive reviews from 88%. Now, will we see the 1000 bump again like happens every day once bungie start work later today & can authorize more marketing budget 😁? It would be too blatant right? Right?

6 RepliesUpdate: In the last 24 hours despite hitting the lowest peak of 53k, & the lowest floor of 16k, as usual after negative reviews pushing it to 12% negative, a huge batch of positives drop to push it back to 11.7% negative, but interestingly it got over 2000 reviews yesterday, 2000. PSN had 1k reviews too. Yet Xbox only has 131 reviews since release. The review patterns are set in stone it seems, negatives are followed by batches of positives to hold it in place around 88-89% positive, & this happens on the sites that can be influenced easily & the sheer amount of reviews is weird & in batches.

Oh yea definitely, super suspicious. I can see how much thought you've put into this.

Another 1000 reviews went up today, now 33k. A bunch of negatives followed by 1000 positive to keep it at 11.7%. same pattern every day. Another day with a lower peak at currently 47k, despite releasing the new map everyone's been waiting for. Feels like they've got ai accounts set up to buy copies daily & leave 90% positive reviews lol. Very soon there's gonna be more daily reviews than people playing 😆😆😆

2 RepliesJust got a twitch popup from a destiny guy I follow so I clicked it & he's suddenly playing marathon, open the director of marathon & it's hilarious seeing 10 of the top 11 streamers are destiny streamers. Again, there's 29k viewers total, & 29k currently playing on steam.

5 RepliesAi reviews are a thing. They even create linkedins etc & create pictures, then use these to leave reviews & deep dives show the people aren't real people. They all do it & it's a tax write off under marketing. I said this day 1, right at launch steam got a chunk of 5k positive reviews & ps5 got 3k, like as soon as could leave a review, yet Xbox who Sony don't want playing their games anyway & who's review metrics hold no weight, had 3 reviews, yes 3. Even now, 2 weeks later PSN is only upto 8k, Xbox is 166, steam is 30k lol. Also every site has it at around 89%~90%, & very positive. With the patterns of positive bulk drops every time it dips below 87%, & the crazy money they've thrown at marketing, I've suspected shenanigans from the beginning. 17k playing right now 17k on twitch. Another pattern I've noticed. Makes so sense.
