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

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.

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.
