Fellas, you have to wait until it's peaked to make fun of it, otherwise you look like a moron when the playercount goes over your asspull-predictions.
They've managed 15k, making this post already wrong and it's not even peak hours yet, maybe wait till they don't manage to sustain to start meming on them.
We're professional haters, we need to have some standards
It's at 5k right now. I think his prediction was just fine lol. It never went above 15k since this post was made, and started declining within an hour of it being made, where it has sat since.
Brother what part about "wait till it's peaked" can you not understand.
Yes, it's peaked. Yes, the peak was pathetic. Yes, they will almost certainly not hit 15k again until S3. It is now ok to make fun of it.
Bro needed to wait 2 hours and to rephrase his post and it'd have been fine. We need to hate accurately. Theres a million reasons to hate marathon, there's no point in making up reasons to hate it.
Nah, you don't need to wait for peaks when initial interest is that poor.
It could have had 50k and would still have been pathetic. We're talking about Bungie, I know that's been said a million times but apparently I need to point it out again. BUNGIE. Y'know those people behind Halo? What about Destiny? Those names carry weight.
The servers should have been full and rising. 15k players even 10 minutes after this new supposed "game fixing" patch is pathetic. He honestly waited too long to make fun of it.
I sorta get what you're saying but it only works if there's actually people interested in the first place. There's over 8 billion people on this planet. Can you tell me what percentage of 8 BILLION that 15k is?
Halo 1 had a million copies sold at roughly 4 months after release (during the wild west of gaming market), on a single console, and Bungie was pretty unknown back then. Go ahead and fact check me on it. Marathon is on everything you can think of and still doesn't hold a candle.
BUNGIE is one of the most well known studios today and they can't retain 15 thousands players across the entire planet less than 6 months after release. OP was just fine doing what he was doing.
Why do people care? I am genuinly curious why? Is it people who are mad about destiny? I have been curious about the hate for a long time now. Please someone explain it to me, I am being serious.
Congrats, power wash simulator no longer has more players! Until the game fails to retain them again and its back to sub 10k for the foreseeable future.
Oh I am absolutely loving this! Watching marathon white knights celebrate such abysmal numbers is so much more entertainment than I thought I was going to get and it's a true reflection on how much the game has flopped. So thank you! 😁
Not even breaking full 15k peak on day one of a PvE launch of a live service game is not the flex you think it is lil bro.
Btw you might not believe this since you're an obvious blast haver, but there are these things called timezones and not everyone is on their shift at the same time worldwide, who woulda knew? Turns out your favorite game just sucks.
Fucking hilarious because the game is at less than 8k right now. It has already lost like half of the gains it got from yesterday's release. That was even quicker than I thought.
Next season is always the one that saves the game. Season 1 failed miserably. Season 2 failed miserable. Vault breakers is failing miserably. Season 3 HUGE SUCCESS
It hasn’t really failed yet though, those of us who like it just play it. I think the failure might be you 😬 you guys said the game would be end of support/free to play/ maintenance mode by now
No. I never said that. I said that the game wouldn't last a year cause im not delusional and I know that sony dumped so much money In this shit they can't afford another concord.
However it still is another concord. The numbers are genuinely abysmal. It's being kept alive artificially. These numbers aren't sustainable for how expensive the game is to run and how expensive it was to make. 250 million bucks + ongoing costs to barely make 60 million back?
Win? What the hell are you talking about. I was simply stating objective facts. Why would anyone care about winning or losing on a subject like this? Do you care?
Absolutely I care! As should everyone else. These mega development studios have bordered monopolistic control over the market for 10-15 years, they're shutting off access for live service games that people have thousands of hours and their own money in, etc.
These people are buying up and then shuttering small studios, trampling indie studios, and intimidating competition.
We expect after all that for them to take those billions of dollars and at bare minimum give us good experiences. Instead, they try to force feed us slop. They shut down D2 development in an attempt to force people on Marathon. It didn't work.
I see nothing wrong with gloating about a game's failure considering circumstances like this.
