Is anyone keen for Marathon to fail so Bungie / Sony can focus hard on Destiny?
-
I’m not sure marathon failing leads to a focus on destiny. It probably leads to Bungie closing / entirely being taken over by Sony. Destiny getting even less workforce and support until the profits aren’t enough to keep the game going at all. It closes and then maybe a long time in the future we may get a new Destiny game or a spin off under a Sony banner.

They don't think like that. 1. They judge a game based on its own merits. 2. Marathon fails than based on the earning potential of the studio Sony will make a decision which is likely shut down. 3. Its Renegades that decides the future of destiny 2 it needs to sell great and bring players back.

1 ReplyEdited by jmann43b: 11/11/2025 1:54:48 AMNo, for 2 reasons. 1. If 'Marathon' fails, there's nothing to suggest Bungie/Sony will suddenly decide it was a mistake and 'Destiny' will take priority above all else. 2. The 'Destiny' franchise, despite what some might desperately want to believe, is [b]NOT[/b] the only game available and when it does in fact die (because it will) gaming will continue regardless so people need to accept that this franchise doesn't dictate the video gaming market. Sony has plenty of arrows in their quiver, and the life or death of this game won't topple their empire.

6 Replies[quote]Just curious[/quote] I really don’t see a world where Marathon fails on launch. It far outpaces any of bungie’s prior releases in terms of environmental design with their amazing gunplay. It’s the endgame which is entirely unknown right now.

Pls come back to reality they aren’t going to “refocus” on destiny lol 😂 if they were it would’ve happened well before now where the ships sinking

Marathon failing = less money. Nobody wanted Marathon but it kinda has to succeed. Hope this helps

Marathon does not have to “die” for Destiny to succeed.
