Marathon’s director explains why it isn’t free-to-play: ‘Everyone has their own definition of what’s the right price’ (www.videogameschronicle.com)

Marathon will inevitably attract a lot of legitimate criticism, possibly fail outright, and you will have another situation were discussions will be polluted by people blaming all game's wrongs on WOKE.

especially since the bigots decided to hate on it for having "unattractive female characters" even though they literally JUST COMPLAINED about how Emma Frost in Marvel Rivals looks like a "200lb man post surgery in drag" even though she has Jiggle physics and a skin that 's about as revealing as one can get without upping the game's age rating (AKA literally EVERYTHING they want)

do they think that we have the memory of a goldfish or something?

"Our definition is that you better open your wallets and give us a lotta money for this." Actually $40 doesn't seem so bad.

I'm not into the pvp escape from tarkov thing. I've tried it, it's just not for me even a little. It doesn't really make sense to make this a pay to play game - I don't think people who like fps games wanna pay for them when they have a lot on offer for free, I don't think extraction shooter people wanna pay for this, people who like Marathon probably have long moved on to different single player games and if you want a sci fi head trip game - I doubt an extraction shooter is the way to explore that.

It feels like they wanna double dip, get the people who are willing to pay for it then a year later or whatever let it go free to play before it inevitably collapses due to no interest.
