technically they're not wrong

the "engagement" here being people shitting on it, rightfully so

simosaurus.bsky.social•11 days ago

Strong engagement, eh?

tortolia.bsky.social•11 days ago

Morbius had strong engagement too, you'd think Sony would have learned something from that

vertegras.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yeah, they learned the wrong thing lol

tortolia.bsky.social•11 days ago

That's our Sony

Well, when the launch fails maybe they can write off the entire Bungie misadventure as a loss?

themagusunion.bsky.social•11 days ago

Probably already their plan.

Forcing studios to fail on game launch has the same vibe as movies that bomb at the box office. And studios know how to write off those losses quite well.

If Sony is following this playbook, then I'll be surprised if Bungie still exists after this year.

Just a heads up, a correction is needed at “believe it will be delayed out of its current September 23, 2024 release date” as we’re currently 2025.

They are really setting this up for failure

I don't want any game to fail, but im having trouble believing them.

Marathon news is only getting more depressing after having so much fun with Nightreign. Like wow it's possible for a big studio to make a fun innovative niche multiplayer game.

Pride goeth before a fall.

Cmon Paolo, you just had a beautiful kiddo. Be a bit more positive 😂😂😂. It's for the audience 🤗.

They are going to delay it.
They have to.
Full stop.
