STOP COMPARING MARATHON TO HIGHGUARD!!!
Whenever you point out how Marathon is doing "worse" than Highguard, that might be TECHNICALLY correct, but it's so disingenuous!!!
First of all, Highguard was a free to play game, so OF COURSE it had a HIGHER player count that Marathon!!!
Please ignore that Marathon is free right now.
Secondly, Highguard was shown off at a game show! Marathon didn't do that!
Third, I want Scarlet to give me a footjob holy fuck I goon to her feet every single night in my stinky room mmmmm making cummies to Scarlet's feet ehehehhehe yay!
Forth, and this is the REAL big one btw, have you ever considered even for a fucking second that perhaps people are... busy? Perhaps... please have jobs? Perhaps people.... go to school? Perhaps people.... sleep? Huh? Ever thought of that?
No? Then how about this, ever considered that maybe the vast majority of people on Earth are too busy playing other games, huh!? Like Slay the Spire 2 and Subnautica 2 both launched in early access and together had over a MILLION players alone. Nevermind every other game on Earth that's currently being played RIGHT NOW as I type this. People are just WAY TO BUSY playing OTHER GAMES to have time to play Marathon!
And lastly, have you EVER even considered that Marathon was developed by a legendary studio that made a lot of people's childhoods with the original Halo and Destiny? You honestly can't expect their newest game to have nearly as much players as indie games in early access, or having anywhere near the same player count as Highguard, which, REMINDER, came from a studio no one gave a fuck about and the game was releasing to NO audience!
Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUUUUUCCCKKK I want Scarlet to stomp on me with her feet and spit on me while I'm lying limp on the ground Christ fuck Jesus uoooohhhhh....
It's seriously unfair to expect Marathon to do better than Highguard because Marathon came from a very established studio and was releasing to an already existing fanbase!
>!I think I had more planned for this sarcastic joke where I pretend to defend Marathon by using talking points that makes me look bad but I forgot what they were.!<
