Tom Henderson has confirmed that Marathon is nowhere near breaking even. Coupled with Destiny 2's last update and player numbers plummeting, it's no wonder the studio's upcoming layoffs have been considered to be "significant."

He doesn't specify if the costs are purely for development costs only leading up to launch, or if they also include continued development costs throughout seasons 1 and 2. Either way, with player numbers and sales plummeting (PC is the leading platform, but is only at #226 on Steam Best Sellers, which includes revenue so can't imagine how bad it's looking on console), this FTP week is gonna have to make a splash with all the incredible changes that are coming to the game!



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

So basically everything we already knew/expected lol. 

Marathon could have a good future and even be profitable if sony accepts the money they paid for Bungie is gone and just focus in making it better, Marathon alone won't make all that money back. The age of MMOs on the other side is over because as you have said in the past, they won't have the numbers after the significant layoffs.



2 hours for the SoP

Really can't wait to see the new Santa Monica game there, I'm really hyped lol



1 minute till ot starts. Here we go....



Around the Network

We will get a free copy of a new port of Ace Combat Zero as a preorder bonus for Ace Combat 8? DAMN!



Ace Combat 8 and Stuntman are the highlights for me so far.

Stuntman Ignition was great on PS3, must have been almost been 20 years since then lol.



The show has been great so far.
If they close it with the Santa Monica Faye God of War that will be so, so good.



Hope Until Dawn 2 is good for people that played the first, I never got around it.



YES
