@1KingKyGaming @Whoistjmjones IMO this shouldn't be about age, he simply should've just framed it as 'if you like Destiny, Marathon's PVE mode might interest you'. But tbh, I think saying that to D2 players right *now* inherently can come off as a little out of touch just because of the feelings around it.

@1KingKyGaming @Whoistjmjones Even still though, whilst its foundation *is* older, part of my issue with what TV said was that it was suggestive that newer = better. While it may appeal to Destiny players, we havent played this PVE mode yet, and it'll still be missing many of the crucial components D2 has.

So what's up with the majority of game pre-orders on Amazon being delivered a day after launch now? They're so consistent at it, kinda feels like a new (shitty) mandate lol

@VescoTony This is what you'd think but I have a feeling they consider Destiny a dying franchise that has run its course. D2 wasn't popping off, Marathon was the big new thing that all eyes were on, so it's easy to cut Destiny. I would be curious to know how they feel after the noise tho.

Feel like Sony is selfishly putting Marathon ahead of Destiny because they don't want another Concord - they 'believe in it' not necessarily by the numbers, but because they want it to grow and D2's numbers look 'worse'. Many will deny it, but their approach makes no sense.

@Johnny79184291 Tbh I think this is just semantics. Sure, they're dropping Destiny for many reasons exclusive to it, but Marathon does have something to do with it in that they can't do both - or at least don't want to. Dropping one and continuing the other, that's the choice they are making.

It's bad enough they aren't doing D3 and worse they're outright ending D2, but it's absolutely unacceptable that Sony are setting such tight timelines to get fixes in when they could just have a small team sticking around to hit remaining bugs. But all hail Marathon I guess.

@Johnny79184291 It quite clearly is what's happening lol, but also I never said it was Marathon's fault - Marathon is a game, it cannot inherently do anything by itself, I understand this. But Sony is choosing to focus on it alone rather than support Destiny in any capacity going forward.

This is so depressing man. The devs are being forced to abandon Destiny 2 to the point where they can't even fix bugs.

@Johnny79184291 Because they are choosing Marathon and its devs entirely over Destiny and its devs. It's a scorched earth approach that doesn't make sense

@1KingKyGaming @Whoistjmjones Also I'm aware this sounds like I don't like criticism towards Destiny but the point I'm trying to make is that the Destiny comparison feels like a slight towards it because he's suggesting its age somehow means it's not as good as Marathon. But that's not how art or games work.

@1KingKyGaming @Whoistjmjones It might not be, but it reads as derogatory towards D2 and older games in general. It's comparing the two when there's no need. Could quite easily just suggest Destiny players keep an eye on the Marathon PVE mode without a 'I love D2 but it's old and Marathon is new' disclaimer.

@deehasanxacct Where is anything regarding optimisation mentioned? TV said Marathon 'plays like a modern game' and not like one made in 2017. My point is it's a bad - or at least, flimsy - argument because he suggests Marathon is better because it's 'modern'. It's just a strange statement imo.

I keep saying @PlayStation wants a quiet death for the game. Taking it from one of the most prominent live service names to having zero support. They want to see it slowly breaking down with an active playerbase and hoping one day we'd shut up. And they still wont say shit btw

"Bungie devs previously dismissed the idea of PvE content in Marathon, saying they were focused on the core game." The fact the PVE mode in Marathon was never planned is very telling, and it feels so backwards when they're ditching Destiny. Sony should've looked to support both.
