gamers just want to stop the spread so it doesnt cross over into the games they do play

i mean… some games and studios deserve to fail.
especially if they thought they were gonna change the world with the poor work they did.

It’s not that I want marathon to fail, I expect Bungie to fuck it up. Only difference is whether they get more players hooked in the start only to ruin everything later, like they did with Destiny.

If they don’t ever intend to play it, then there’s no difference. Good games do well regardless. If lots of people are not playing the game, this simple fact alone does a lot more damage than anything they could say. And it is a symptom, not a cause
Klugernu on
I only think that way towards Marathon because I’ve played both Destiny games since the beginning and have been burned by Bungie time and time again. Of course I’ve quit at this point but you know a red flag when you see one

I literally haven’t seen any discourse like this. Most people just don’t care. Game was fine, not for me

If only corporations actually innovate, instead of keep pulling the lever to gamble millions away on a completely over-saturated market.

I’m just tired of extraction shooters I think they’re low effort kind of boring.
npc042 on
You jest, but it’s completely normal to advocate for a healthier industry which respects its customers.
Also, Bungie specifically has proven time and time again that they don’t deserve our goodwill.

The praying and celebrations for downfalls will continue until the execs of these studios and publishers learn the bloody lesson.

I am old enough to play the first Marathon, that game was groundbreaking this is something else not really sure what it is.
Gmanglh on
Ya thats how it works. I wouldnt pray for the downfall of a game i play because if i play it i probably enjoy it. I *did* play the original Marathon though, which was great. So ya Im gonna pray on the downfall of the people who have massacred the franchise and are marionetting its corpse.

i hate on marathon because bungie literally abandoned destiny 2. i was still playing and hoping for the best

Don’t forget that part.

Some games can effect the status quo regardless if you play them or not, which can spread to other studios and enshittify other things. Hoping a shit cash-grab of a game fails so it doesn’t give other studios bad ideas seems pretty normal.

It’s not the game itself I want to fail, it’s the greedy corporate practices of live service games.
But hey, if you wanna spend money on a game you will one day no longer be able to boot up due to server shut downs, then that’s your business.
dirtypog1341 on
Escape from Tarkov is a game that deserves this shit to happen for sure. The game came out in beta in 2017 and is still a flaming pile of dogshit 9 YEARS LATER even after they released 1.0.
The PVP is absolutely overrun w cheaters and no life sweats to the point you can’t even play the game as a casual anymore.
I personally couldn’t think of a dev team more deserving of failure than BSG.

The recent news about that game with its monetization and asking reviewers to hold off for a month to review the game they released kinda just proved my feelings I’ve had right, though. I’m gonna beat on the drum for newer gamers that don’t realize what Bungie is now, even if the game is good, I know who is running it and it will fail because of that.
You can take a drunk driver out of his shitty Honda Accord and put him behind the wheel of a shiny, new Ferrari, he’s still going to crash the damn thing.

It’s Bungie. Don’t worry, everyone, they will screw up it just take a while its called the Bungie Honeymoon. Those that played Destiny 2 know it very well.

Some games actively degrade the entire industry (for the consumer) so it’s fine to root for their downfall.
It’s also sad because often genuinely good games or games with high potential (Anthem) get canned and shut down because the Publisher can’t be bothered to fix it or at least keep it running and trash games built purely to milk money out of players go on forever.

I actually don’t pray for any of these games to fail.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy watching them fail.
A lot of these games are the result of publishing companies and developers ignoring the gaming market. It sucks for the employees who ultimately eat the failure in the form of unemployment. But the truth is with the rate of indie & sub-AAA games success these same devs who really want to make a game can do so and potentially be rewarded.
SLiiQ_ on
For me, it’s because of the stolen art. I don’t care that they tried to make it right later, for me it’s too late. They’ve already lost me as a customer forever, and I grew up playing Bungie games.
Bungie changed, big time
bryanbarskar on
The times I wish for this is when a company makes a money sink game that has no soul and encourages other companies to make more of them. Especially if the games are from a great series and they turn it into an MMO that makes them stop making the series the way it used to be.

On the other side of the spectrum you have slay the spire 2 with almost half a million concurrent players,gamers are speaking loud and clear.

It’s bungie we’re talking about, anybody that knows what they did with Destiny2 and its paid content should wish for their downfall.
Barely released & just look at the approach they went with in their Marathon Battlepass, it just shows the color & way they keep handling their games & the amount of respect they have for their playerbase

I don’t know about Marathon because i didn’t play it but i wouldn’t start crying if every COD games undersell and crash since it got to a point where there is no art in it anymore and only a product meant to be sold and nothing more.

If more games in genres they hate fail, they hope the loss will teach the gaming studios those types aren’t popular and they will spend the next investment into something the player is interested in.

It comes a lot from destiny 2 players (me, so heavily biased) who feel like D2 was abandoned for this “new” game. Bungo removed a lot of incredible talent from d2 then announced this new game while their flagship was bleeding players. To say im upset about this is an understatement so take my comment with a QUARRY of salt cause right now I don’t feel like Bungo desrves a win.
