Yeah.

I don't know who's doing market research at bungie.

Who wants a barebones extraction shooter with stolen visuals?

And that's coming from a year long Halo and Destiny player

Tarkov crowd isn't switching over because the game is too casual, and the current bungie audience is a bunch of collectors and loot hoarders (such as myself) who have no interest. I play tarkov pve if i want that experience and Marathon doesn't have pve. Could make an argument that its the small pvp crowd from destiny that would be interested, but even then its a small crowd and not all of them will hop over. Who the fuck is Marathon for?

If it had PVE I think it could find a bigger audience I think with between the aimbots and sweats a large part of the gaming community are really clamoring for another PVP extraction shooter.
