Marathon isn't going to be the big hit Sony wants because it's just too much of a sicko game
Despite Bungie's signature gunplay and visual flair, Marathon's niche as a hardcore extraction shooter may prevent it from becoming the hit Sony desires, especially given the significant investment. The game's unforgiving nature and focus on high-stakes PvP contrasts with the broader appeal of titles like Arc Raiders. Sony's history with live-service games suggests a low tolerance for underperformance, making Marathon's long-term future uncertain unless the company proves willing to support a niche title.
