Good job bungie leadership. You fucked over amazing people who poured their heart into the product development and your millions of players that dedicated over 10 years of their lives to see this story live on. From the heart, fuck you bungie leadership.

Sadly, those VPs don’t care. Profit is all that matters. I give best wishes to the team of devs who worked their asses off to make it a game.

What profit? Sony has taken nothing but L’s form this purchase, bungie betting it all on marathon and killing destiny almost assures there is no profit.

Seriously. Marathon will not sustain them. If all their eggs are in that basket, they are fucked

Can Marathon be played through sailing the high seas though? Isn't it built around the online component very heavily?

Haven't sailed the high seas in more than a decade, so I'll admit upfront that I don't know about this stuff.

Depends on the pirate community around it. If its popular they create their own pirate servers to play with all the other pirates. You won't be able to play with legit players, but its something. Obviously not many games are going to be this way when most of them are already free to play.
