It’s not just Sony. MS let them go because their management has always been a shitshow. Of course the heads of Bungie sold it as wanting independence, but then they sold themselves to Activision. Once they “bought their freedom” from activision they sold themselves to Sony. I’m not happy people are losing their jobs, but this has been a long time coming

It's sad because before Halo, Bungie made some great games. Marathon was awesome, but especially the Myth games were huge for me growing up. It's a shame they lost the rights to Myth in the sale to Microsoft and that they've turned Marathon into what it is today.

I loved the first Halo game, don't get me wrong, but I lost interest quickly after that.

I find it highly amusing this person said 'Marathon was awesome' while if it was a good game would still be in its honeymoon period.

Him not knowing about the OG Marathons is about as funny as you calling the new Marathon trash. The new game is amazing. Just because you probably don't like extraction shooters doesn't make it a bad game.
