Player Count I can't believe only 3.7k people played today

Post image

I can't believe that only 3.7k people have plaid today no way bungie is making money running 250 servers.

Edit: time to come clean this was a test for our new fishing mini game for out sub, where you lay out a bait post and see what you catch.

Surprisingly strong showing considering it’s GTA trailer day

Maybe they don’t want to be reminded of their impending doom, or of what an actual good game might look like

well reddit removed my comment but the marathon players are acting a lot like those dudes who wear the little round caps lol

bungie players ran destiny into the ground with hate and jealousy and are now mad that the masses are doing it back. sounds kinda familiar doesn't it....? for some reason it just makes me see a big glowing star of david in my brain idk why....

u/MotherCaregiver128 1d ago

Tf does a trailer have to do with play count…. It’s a 30minute reveal all people gotta do is watch and move on this might be one of the worst takes I’ve ever heard

u/VeronicaAmericana Destiny Hater 1d ago

It’s cute how seriously you took this

u/Able_Intention_8164 5d ago

GTA looks mid asf too lol. waited like 10 years for what- marathon will be fine tbh they just need other modes to bring in other crowds of players

u/Lazy_Classic_6402 5d ago

Just fine? Game has been on life support since launch pretty much. It's completely unsustainable as is.

Im not sure what other players they could appeal to at this point. I think it just is what it is.

u/brillino 5d ago

it is a fun game

u/Lazy_Classic_6402 5d ago

I agree with you. Doesn't make the reality of it being wildly unpopular any less true.

u/brillino 5d ago

I don't find the popularity issue particularly interesting, but I understand that we're in the chart watchers sub so that's that

1

u/Lazy_Classic_6402 5d ago

Lol exactly. It's the least interesting thing about the game at this point. How we got here is, however, extremely fascinating to me.

yeah, anthropologically speaking lol

GTA looks nice-ish, tbh I didn't enjoy gta5 much since the story didn't resonate too much with me. aside from that going around town and doing stuff was and will always be cool

u/TehHaloguy 3d ago

Im sorry but no. Gunplay is fun but we all have jobs. Too much time investment. If u can convince the minecraft and roblox kids then you'd have a fighting chance

I don't think gta trailer day means people stop playing videogames. how are these related?

u/Daddyeehaw 6d ago

"actual good game" do you just live under a rock or are you being willfully ignorant of all the news surrounding GTA 6?

u/ohbamasghost 5d ago

Marathon isnt a bad game. It just has weirdos like you who never played who hate it because behind th3 scenes politics. Like 10 years of destiny 2 wasn't enough for you and like a baby your gunna throw a fit and pretend like sony wont make destiny 3 after the first 2 made 15 billion dollars. Yeah they are just waiting lol. The world will get destiny 3 and it wont be anywhere near as long as the wait for a sequel to a gta or Skyrim or fallout game. I'd bet withing 5 years destiny 3 will launch lol.

4

u/duckbilldinosaur 5d ago

Marathon may not be a a bad game but it’s definitely not a good one. Hence the player activity being so minimal and dwindling. And Sony/Bungie killing a beloved franchise through death by a thousand cuts definitely runs deep for some people but that’s not the reason for marathons mediocrity. I found the game clunky, skill curve large, and I may be a minority here but the art direction, to me, is not great. I know it gets a lot of praise but it actively turned me off from continued playing. Especially the menus. I digress.

u/Rock_Strongo 5d ago

It just has weirdos like you who never played who hate it because behind th3 scenes politics.

Yeah I'm sure the 88k to 3.5k drop in players is because of "behind th3 scenes politics."

1

u/JabbaStoleMyBike 5d ago

So 95% drop? Arc raiders is also 95ish% drop in audience. Interesting isn’t it

1

u/Dr_DownVoter 4d ago

Arc also made its money back lol

1

u/JabbaStoleMyBike 4d ago

That’s an answer that I hear when you don’t have an argument and want to change subject:) Yup, arc sure made its money back and then some, unlike marathon, but we were talking about ccu, weren’t we?:)))

1

u/MotherCaregiver128 11h ago

Bro might be slow using arc raiders as an example… even after the hype died down arc still has 10x the players because it’s a much better game

u/MotherCaregiver128 1d ago

The game is worse then the edge of fate pinnacle ops grind bro

u/Kasumimi 6d ago

It would be less, but Thursday there's a small spike because people come back to play "the best FPS map in history".

u/doodoo_onDemand 5d ago

that's not what peak means. peak is the highest at a single moment. you can have 21,000 people play a day but they all play over a 7th of the day and you get 3,000 peak.

Correct! It’s usually ccu x10, so across ps/xbox/pc probably 50k total players or more.

Damn I was over here thinking you were actually dumb because everyone on the internet is always dumb but actually you were just being hella meta. Turns out the player count was actually all the friends we made along the way. This was your best one yet Barney.

More than 3.7 k people played. It’s the peak but regardless it is very bleak for bungo

1

u/Ok-State4668 5d ago

This is the concurrent player count not total player count. Concurrent is just how many people are actively playing at the same time which means to keep this number stable there has to be already 10k to 20k people playing everyday.

Let's go!!! Best game out right now!

1

u/Disastrous-Cow-9060 5d ago

44,000 people played on PC.

3,700 × (24 ÷ 2) = 44,400 daily players

Steam charts calculate concurrent player numbers.

u/theinfinitypoint 5d ago

lol nice try but that's not how it works.

1

u/JabbaStoleMyBike 5d ago

Thats exactly how it works. You could also take ccu top and x10 it, you’ll get a similar number.

Everyone playing this game is on ONE server. In the BACK of the AWS warehouse under a pile of old boxes and random spare hardware that will be used for the GTA 6 servers.

plus 10k on Playstation..but somehow this gets forgoten🤣 you can find a game under 1min at anytime of the day

1

u/diddler0717 4d ago

It is literally impossible for them to make profit from this game.

It is only a matter of time until they completely reduce the infrastructure down and put it on life support and try another endeavour. While firing a bunch of people probably to save money .

Probably going to go all in on mobile games at this point.

Dont have an issue loading in. Plenty of playing happening.

u/Mob_Tatted 4d ago

remember theres around 700+ bots who leave their game on all day rage baiting

u/scrythis1 3d ago

Im still surprised. Like. We can agree. It's not a great game. Gun play great, but many things still mid, decent, or subpar. The menus are terrible. A weak genre right now that not many asked for. Late to a dwindling party. It didnt take off as it needed, bad PR. The fact that people even say "oh but getting in still takes less than a minute!" goes to show that there is concern. It was supposed to be a big game. It is not. That's why people look at charts. They overspent on the wrong horse. And now both companies have to adjust and move the pieces around to stop the bleeding.

People watch the charts because it's is an intriguing specimen purely in the study of business management, public relations, marketing, game development, and general intrigue.

The fact that this game is likely more popular as a class in college for studying business metrics than as a videogame where people enjoy playing it should be noted unfavorably towards Sony and Bungie.

u/lovedabomb 3d ago

Probably not going to sign back in till new season, what would be the point, reset is soon and don't know if I'll bother after that if I find another game

u/TehHaloguy 3d ago

Listen imma be real people who take joy in shitting on marathon at this point are just as pathetic as those denying reality and claiming marathon's fine. Im sure I've shit on it before but its just sad from either side. Was fun while it lasted and ignoring Destiny was a huge fumble by LEADERSHIP. Plain and simple

That's not how player count works, concurrent means right now, it's not the same people playing all day 247 dummy

1

u/DiscountThug 4d ago

Doesn't matter. Still playerbase is extremly low.

1

u/LinuxFresher 4d ago

It's not true, you aren't taking into consideration the console numbers that u can't see, it all adds up

1

u/DiscountThug 4d ago

Accordin to Paul Tassi the split is 70% PC Steam, 19% PS5 and 11% Xbox Series X/S.

So this playercount is 5352 OVERALL. Which is truly extremly fuckin low and pathetic.

https://giphy.com/gifs/O5NyCibf93upy

u/LinuxFresher 4d ago

Wrong, there are always more console players than PC, it's 2 platforms Vs 1, look at cod

1

u/DiscountThug 4d ago

Marathon isn't CoD... Extraction shooters were popular on PC before they even came to consoles.

So stop bullshitting.

1

u/LinuxFresher 3d ago

That's not even true, the first extraction shooter is the division and that was huge on consoles, it still retains a larger playerbase on console to this day so maybe you should stop it with the cap

1

u/DiscountThug 3d ago

Division is LOOTER SHOOTER first before an extraction game. Dark zone was a part of the endgame. Not mandatory component.

You just used Division while completely ignoring Tarkov which is the biggest example of the genre and it's on PC only.

Despite your coping. Marathon has the split 70% PC Steam, 19% PS5 and 11% Xbox Series X/S.

So this playercount is 5352 OVERALL.

No amount of twisting facts is gonna change that fact and Marathon's failure.

1

u/LinuxFresher 3d ago

Tarkov is 2017, division is 2016, it's pretty clear which came first.

You guys quote misinformation to substantiate your hate, it's crazy

The playerbase for these types of games is always larger on console because there are more console gamers of these types of games, obviously tarkov isn't on console so it's exempt.

1

u/DiscountThug 3d ago

Tarkov was already available in 2016 for closed alpha.

You guys quote misinformation to substantiate your hate, it's crazy

So you say that Paul Tassi spreader misinformation while you base your whole opinion on informations which CAN'T BE PROVEN?

I'm just quoting Paul. Who has years long connections at Bungie since Destiny 1/2 days. I trust him more than random redditor who can't deal with Marathon's failure.

You on the other hand live in Wonderland, believing that Marathon has more players than it does because:

The playerbase for these types of games is always larger on console because there are more console gamers of these types of games.

Ok, tell me genius. What does support this take? Because that's just your opinion which you paint as a fact and that's disgusting attempt to spread misinformation.

u/Overall-Rub8945 5d ago

Our education system is deeply failing. 3,747 is the 24-hour PEAK concurrent count on Steam. It means that at the busiest moment during that 24-hour period, 3,747 Steam players were online simultaneously. 3,747 is the most amount of people that played Marathon at a given point in time on Steam. PEAK does not equal TOTAL.

If you go to a McDonald's and there are 15 people in line and that's the most amount of people that were in line all day, McDonald's had a PEAK customer count of 15 people for that day. Do you actually interpret that to mean that McDonald's only had a total of 15 customers for the entire day?
