I’ve done like a dozen rook runs tonight and every single one pinwheel is never open. Has everyone just given up on it or??? Have I missed a memo?

Bungie has been radio silent for the last two weeks, all while the player count continues to dwindle. It’s hard to imagine being in their shoes right now and not trying to push any emergency button you can.

I feel like the easiest way to keep some players and maybe bring a few back is just to bring back Sponsored Survival. At least until the midseason drops. This feels like the absolute bare minimum they should do. Otherwise we’re gonna be looking at 5k peaks before midseason.

Due to the increase in traffic here the last few days, I think this should be made clear.

This is not a subreddit meant for hating on Marathon. The majority of us that migrated here from the main Marathon subreddit are people who purchased the game, played it (or still play it), and simply want a space where we can discuss how the game is performing and what could be improved, without worrying about the oppressive moderation of the main subreddit.

Contrary to what you may believe, many of us *do* like the game want to see it succeed. Some may like it more than others, but we all see aspects that we enjoy. We see the potential and simply want the game to reach that potential.

This is not a space meant for dunking on Marathon and relishing in its demise. It’s a place meant for discussing what went wrong and what could be changed, as well as analyzing player trends and behavior.

I think this should be made clear for both the “blast havers” who are offended by the existence of this sub, as well as the r/MarathonHate members who think this is just a second place where they can troll and jerk each other off. The main sub and the hate sub already serve your respective purposes.

We’re exactly 4 weeks out from the launch of Season 2 and the game isn’t even peaking at 8k players on Steam. In the last few days it’s gone from 10.2k peaks to 7.8k. What is happening?? I assumed once we got to 10k the bleed would slow down drastically. Like a hundred or two hundred here and there. But this is a pretty substantial drop in the last couple days.

I’m assuming the removal of sponsored survival has a lot to do with this, but curious what others think? We’re still 3 weeks away from the mid season update that introduces the true PvE mode. How much further can it fall before then? This is genuinely looking bleak. They should at least bring back Sponsored Survival to keep things afloat till then.

I have NEVER seen anything like this at the gorge.
