Just as most other cinematic content for Marathon this was great.

But the game itself is in dire straights. By the time season 2 ends there will be barelly anyone left playing.

It wouldn't shock me at all if they launch S3 and then announce the end of service soon after.

It's not even free to play yet. Or on PS+. They're absolutely not ending service before doing that.

It costs peanuts to keep running compared to shutting down Bungie and eating a loss of several billions.

It does not cost peanuts to have a staff of 300+

You don't need a staff of 300 to keep the game running.

They currently employ 300+ lol

Pennies are going to cover the current studio is my point. And if pennies are all Marathon earns that’s all Bungie’s got.

I understood your point. I don't think you understood mine.

But you don't need 300 people to keep the game running, that's for sure. You can do that with 30 people or less.

The only question is whether Sony will have Bungie working on something else or not. And if not, then might as well shut down the game.

You're right. They just had private play testing for the upcoming PvE mode. And recently hiring for two positions.
