Didn't Marathon start development before Sony bought Bungie?

If it's yet more live service slop, I'm 95% it will crash and burn.

I think Sony knows that too, but has realized it too late. Maybe they are trying to pivot behind the scenes, completely shitting their pants after Concord ate a shitload of money.

Yeah, the publishers keep shuttering studios, but that has left them hemorraging institutional knowledge.

That's starting to hurt them, with more and more of those laid-off devs starting up indie studios that are slowly eating into the AAA market.

I think it's only a matter of time until a dev team skilled enough to make something to eclipse Apex and Fortnite sets out to do so without a toxic publisher backing them.

We've already seen how viral friend-slop titles can be. Can you imagine the shake-up a competitive multiplayer title could be, with a team of laid-off AAA devs gone indie behind it?
