    That’s why there is a thing called risk assessment in business. The money they earn from doing these shitty things outweighs the money they will pay in the future and nobody is lobbying to punish such business behaviors.

    it barely resembles the original. It’s an extraction shooter, a la Hunt: Showdown or Escape from Tarkov.

    “again”? More like “still”. I assume they needed extra time to rework art assets. I’m not shocked that they still work on the game, as otherwise years of work would be wasted. And Bungie would start from scratch. But they need something NOW.

    I have no doubt it will be good in gameplay. The art style has some identity too to it. I think they are quiet, so people forget about the problems and do not talk about it anymore until its resolved. What I wonder is, if they will keep the same game name or will there be a new brand attached to it?

      I think what sem is talking about is that Bungie first made “Marathon” in 1994. The new game is a pretty much unrelated game, reusing the name.

      What do you mean still? The last one, Marathon Infinity, was released in the 90s
