Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos

Marathon being brought back as a live servive extraction shooter/battle royale was an immediate turn off for me, personally.

As a Mac owner when I was young, Bungie was my great saving grace for gaming. Loved Marathon even though it ran like shit.
Seeing it turned into that absolute trash and then discovering they didn’t even use AI but straight up stole artwork for it was the final nail in the coffin. Bungie is dead.

Considering how much Bungie has fucked over their one game and its playerbase for years and seem to keep finding ways to double down on it, I never had any faith in Marathon from the beginning.
What’s wild is this is far from the first time that studio’s been caught for art theft too.

I wonder things would have been like if Apple, not Microsoft, bought Bungie for exclusive rights to Halo. 🤔
