"Marathon's first month has been a wild, messy, fun, and strange rollercoaster. The race to unlock Marathon's endgame level was exciting, making it easy to forget about low player numbers and crappy cosmetics."
"Alinea Insight estimated that it had sold only about 200,000 copies on Steam, which is less than half what Arc Raiders had sold just prior to its own launch."
"Bungie had a message to share with anyone poking into the files of Marathon for spoilers on future updates: Don't. The studio warned that it would go after online content sharing, datamined assets, or code ahead of its public reveal."
Marathon launched on March 5 to positive reviews and significant online engagement, but it has also faced conspiracy theories and a community-solved ARG. Initial sales were low, with only 200,000 copies sold on Steam, raising concerns about its future compared to competitors like Arc Raiders. Despite some criticism regarding design choices, Bungie has committed to protecting its content from dataminers. The game's first month has been characterized by excitement and uncertainty about its longevity in the live-service market.
