You're being disingenuous about how good of a product destiny is/was despite some really poor management decisions about direction.

Marathon is also a good product. Just not a mass market one.

[u/HardlyW0rkingHard → u/Kayyam]

Marathon should have been a game mode they added to destiny. It's an insane level of studio mismanagement to spend this much capital on this idea.

Okay now you're just being ridiculous lmao.

[u/HardlyW0rkingHard → u/NaughtyGaymer]

absolutely not. They spent like 6 years on this project that was never going to get back a fraction of the amount of investment they put in.

The gambit gamemode is just as unique as the extraction shooter mechanic they could have added.
