Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post

  How dare you.

  I loved the Marathon games. They were better than Doom!

    It’s okay, ‘the shit’ is a weird phrase anyway. And as a Marathon trilogy connoisseur, you’re clearly alright.

      This just reminds me of this guy…who also has one about the word ‘ass’.

      I’m a little late to this party but this can be easily avoided by using the phrase “the shiz”. Just gotta train autocorrect to accept it.

      Yeah, it’s a weird phrase, today. It was popular 20 years ago.

      It meant “The best” back then.

      But thanks for the positive vibe, and comment.

  Calling this a Marathon game makes no sense, and I don't just mean aesthetically. The business case can't possibly be there, either.

  Anyone who has a nostalgic attachment to Marathon (👋) won't be interested in this new game, and anyone interested in this new game probably doesn't care about the name "Marathon."

  On top of that, there's the fact that Marathon kind of looked like Halo. When Bungie made Halo, they were clearly taking after their own art style from their previous games. Which means Bungie could have announced that they're making a singleplayer first person shooter that kind of looks like Halo. Everyone would have lost their minds. Instead, they announced yet another live service game, and no one is interested.

  Its worse than that: this game is somehow CANON with the original Marathon

    My vent core feels retroactively unblasted by this revelation. You really can’t expect anything good from any of the major studios anymore these days.

  Well now I’m not buying it.
