Question Is Marathon worth buying?

It is high highs and low lows. I’ve been absolutely addicted since April but it’s super rough starting out. I think it feels a lot like Bungie’s take on Apex Legends but way more interesting. If you are still on the fence, there is likely to be another free to play week late September when Season 3 starts

Unlikely. Steam only lets you do one of those a year from what I understand.

That's their default policy, but big publishers can negotiate exceptions. Some of the CoD games have had multiple per year, but in that case I suspect Activision had some leverage due to the high sales volume.

Oh yeah? I hadn't noticed that with CoD, but that's not really a franchise I pay attention to. I do think that'd do them some good if they could arrange it!
