Why are they even making that game when they can’t even fix D2 pvp is beyond me.

Marathon is dead on arrival

To be honest we're probably at the point now where Bungie need to sell the rights to D2 to a fresh and dedicated developer who'll put the time in and appreciate it. Let Bungie put their efforts into a re-release of a game within a genre that's stagnated throughout the market if that's what they want. Yet another extraction shooter, how original, but hey that's their choice to make... and so be it if it's what their after. I'm thankful to Bungie for giving us all that is Destiny. But if they can no longer be bothered with it then move on and hand the reigns to somebody who can, and will appreciate everything it is and still can be. Destiny deserves better, it made Bungie what it is. Yet the game and it's devoted player base now have little respect or appreciation, we aren't really valued anymore. God knows why after all it has accomplished but that's why the promo for the expansion is suffering. We're being milked to fund other ventures that I don't think is going to have the impact their hoping for but hey, again, that's their choice. New toys and all that jazz I guess. It's a shame but it's the probable truth.

they dont care, they just think the d2 community will be like "waw your new game was worth abandoning destiny 2 take my moneeeey daddy bungiiie " even tough most of the destiny community wont play / last on marathon because its way way WAY too different (and lot of us lost trust with bungie long time ago)

That’s a fact, idk why they’re promoting this game to us. We don’t care about there new BS we want new BS in the game we are playing. We didn’t ask them to make something different we asked for more content here or a D3 not an entirely different game. They never promoted anything halo here so why are they shoving marathon down our throats.

I have not talked to ANYONE yet that is actually going to play Marathon much less actually buy it. Bungie and their fanboys don’t want to admit that Marathon is D.o.A. Just going through different forums, including here, this sentiment is across the boards. If it is, can’t say I feel sorry for them either.

How anyone gets upset over a studio creating a new game is absurd. It’s totally normal for any major studio to make more than one game. Jealous GF syndrome is never a good look.

If you haven’t noticed bungie doenst care about destiny anymore they care about there new thing, its always been like that they never update there old think, if you want to remain stuck with destiny you will be there old think aka they wont care about you

Due to recent comments, I retract my previous statement It sounds like Bungie isn't even considering abandoning D2, and plan to fully support both games , but the information cadence we are used to might change a little

I think they are trying to move on from d2. Like they did with Halo they were bought by Microsoft and they told them they'd give them the Halo franchise and license if they let bungie go(which they did)then Bungie came out with Destiny which took off really well. Then D2 took off and joining the likes of COD pay to play Activision messed their greedy @$$es up from there hiccups everywhere and now they've been bought by Sony and it's Marathon on the way Yeah,there's still Frontiers for D2 on the way but this is where things will get spicy Marathon doesn't do well the team of devs will push Frontiers and hope that does and if it doesn't Sony will swallow the devs and put other 1st party devs on it(Gorilla Games,Santa Monica please!!) My thoughts

Why promo a dying game on its last expansion? D2 has had its time and its nearly over, its time Bungie moves on. D2 probably was never meant to last this long if the servers and coding of the game have any relevance. D2's next expansions are likely only going to pull in D2 players. It shouldn't be a surprise to promote the new product for the whole game market.

The main issue that the game is going to have is maintaining a playerbase especially since that genre is already established and oversaturated, they might have a decent start but overtime they will start falling off. you really think players that already put 2000+hrs they already established extraction game going to come play marathon long term not to mention other F2P games that are coming out this year and it was never mentioned that besides paying $40 will season pass also be a thing if so get ready to pay $50 plus. Bungie doesn't realize how much of a bind they just put themselves in on how much of a steep hill they are going to have to climb with this game.

"For budgetary reasons, all further Destiny expansions have been cancelled. There just isn't enough money for Destiny, Marathon, and the car collection." -Bungie, soon

Pretty sure they are waiting for the ending of heresy since there most likely obvious connection to heresy and frontiers

My guess is D2s Frontiers will be pushed to fall or winter due to the aforementioned voice actor strike which as we saw in Heresy has rendered some characters voiceless. For a season that will be gone come next cycle, not a huge deal, but in a permanent expansion that would be a horrible thing to release.
