Shame, they were once great. Ruined by greedy management.

Might as well give Marathon the Concord treatment and have them commit to something else.

Depends entirely on what their plans are in the mid to long term. Their goals should be getting casuals into Marathon and expanding Destiny outside of a massive live service title.

Both are possible, and of course not guaranteed home-runs. But if they're looking to do something like an ICO remake, the yeah they're dead. 

Getting casuals into Marathon doesn't sound like an enterprise with a high probability of success to be honest.

That said, in case I gave the wrong impression, I do hope they're not getting shut down as we've had far too much job loss in the industry of late. Hopefully they can survive long enough to get their next endeavour off the ground, which will hopefully fare better than Marathon.

maybe casual is the wrong word. But they need to have a wider reach in terms of who can play the game, at least in an attempt to help separate it more from other extraction shooters.

But I admit that is tough to do.
