So imo, Bungie is making Marathon have even more of a niche audience than it already was.

They just announced their seasonal model, and the number of resets each season is honestly pretty staggering.
-All Unlocked Gear
-Contract Progression
-Faction Progression
-Player Level

You'll get to keep things like cosmetics, titles, and codex unlocks (story and lore), but that's it. So if you're a casual player, you're gonna unlock some things, but then you'll lose it when the next season rolls around.

Bungie says this will allow the game to still feel dangerous and make loot feel meaningful, but honestly, how can loot feel meaningful if I know I'm going to lose it all?

Maybe it's because I'm too new to Extraction Shooters, but at least in Arc Raiders, that kind of reset is optional, not mandatory. It's basically viewed as Prestige mode in Call of Duty.

This lines Marathon to be catered towards the hardcore crowd. The dedicated ones that will do the grind, knowing there's not much time before losing everything. Titles are a big chase in Destiny 2, and it looks like Bungie will carry those into Marathon, but idk if I'll be able to grind Marathon the way I did Destiny. Especially knowing I won't be keeping anything outside of titles and lore.

If I ever had interest in this game losing basically everything I get the few times I play it here and there would definitely be a horrible experience.
