If Marathon is a side project where is the main game? Destiny made money but it has slowed to a crawl.

Do you honestly think Sony will be ok with waiting like 5 years for Destiny 3 to release while Destiny 2 is dead and Marathon is likely also dead? With 900 people working there that whole time no less.

Arrowhead has like 100 people working there and Sony did not pay 4B to get it. Expectations on Bungie delivering a consistent very high cash flow must be insane.

Well, bungie have 600 employees somewhere working on something. So, I guess we'll find out one day but I'd be shocked if it's not Destiny 3. That employee count also doesn't include Project Gummy Bears which got moved to in-house at Sony along with all employees. The fact Sony took full control on that one gives me the impression that was the one they had the highest hopes for out of it, Marathon and Payback. They took control at the same time that payback got cancelled and Marathon got stepped up in production. 

I think it's more likely Bungie was more confident in Marathon as it was heavily pushing it, and I can't remember the last time we heard about Gummy Bears, they likely choose to stick with Marathon so they could have the bigger chance of success and avoiding being fully taken control by Sony.

Marathon is now peaking even lower in USA and everyday reaching new all time lows in weak USA hours. Sadly it's looking really bad for it right now.
