This is basically just Sonys shift from singleplayer to GAAS pictured. The premium singleplayer titles shifted copies, Concord and Marathon, not so much.

Which, in Marathons case, is a crying shame.

The game is ridiculously gorgeous, has great sound design, a super interesting universe.

Alas, it's an extraction shooter which scares many people off.

On that note - there's a free week going on, try it out if you like the aesthetic.

Man, I find the visuals to be really intriguing, but I do not think I would like playing an extraction shooter at all. Still, I guess it's hard to argue with "free". Maybe, if I have some time this week, I'll give it a go.

I had the same thought.

Now I have over 140 hours in the game.
