Marathon is the most searched game on steamdb. There are people who spend more time watcihng the green line than they do playing any games at all which is sad no matter how you try to frame it. it would be better for everyone if people just ignored games that didn't interest them. Also the active player rankings on console don't correlate very well to steam or to copies sold. As Mat Piscatella himself is quick to point out. A big problem on console is that the top consoles games by active users are evergreen games that are impossible to unseat even by the very best selling games of the year.

I doubt that is true. Also such a bizarre stance to have on a website for tracking and discussing videogame sales. Especially with a game that could have a big impact on how bungie is run in the future.

Marathon is the most searched game on SteamDB every single day since its release for 7 straight weeks. That’s not really normal behaviour. There is a mega thread on Reddit just for people who post Steam charts and the thread is just filled with haters who sign in everyday to hate the game and tell everyone it is dying. Marathon subreddit had 432k visitors in the last week. Thats probably more than the number of people who played the game on every format. There is currently a massive movement of basement-dwelling no-lifers who are so dissatisfied with their own life they are desperate to see anything they don’t like fail and they’ve attached their entire self-worth to the death of Marathon after loudly predicting it to be DOA and that it would struggle to get 5k players peak on Steam.
