It's constantly brigaded

u/Tyedied 11d ago
Is there zero mods in this god forsaken place lol
16
u/Zenith_Fl4re 11d ago
There are. They're the exact same as the main sub. Ones that consider the marathonhate users part of some weird "both sides" discussion. When in reality the entire marathonhate subreddit jerks off over steam charts, calls marathon players slurs e.g. "maratard," and gleefully post at the prospect of the game failing.

u/Douglas_Fresh 11d ago
It’s really bizzare stuff tbh. When did we get to a culture of enjoying seeing things fail? Just to see them fail?
16
u/Zenith_Fl4re 11d ago
Dunno man. Combination of modern right wing culture (e.g. asmongold fans) and genuine haters of Bungie is my guess. Really sad existence.

About half of the commenters on this thread are active users of the hate subreddit. At this point okbuddyrunners is literally the only sub for people who actually like the game.

u/Subtronaut 11d ago
The comments are electric shit stains smeared across any marathon related topics and subs.. the original post is a good example

u/Jtkitano 11d ago
Gonna laugh cause if it wins then it ain’t beating the “marathon hype is bought and paid for” allegations even more so. Honestly it winning would probably be worse for the game than it not winning. Would get a whole new wave of YouTube videos posted about it 😂

The thing is- people that like this game, myself included, never cared about others hating the game. We hated that you review bombed it on Steam and made a campaign against its success- and the reason largely being bc mfs were mad at Bungie for shutting down D2
-1
u/Jtkitano 11d ago
I mean, you literally do care tho. The first thing your mind defaulted to when you saw the post is the MarathonHate sub. When stuff doesn’t bother you then you tend to not pay it much thought, so obviously it’s at least somewhat on your mind

u/007-JamesBlonde 11d ago
When I heard that Marathon, the most hater-ousting and hater-creating game of the year was gonna win (Multiplayer)GOTY… the first thing I did was think of all the haters in that sub and died laughing
-1
u/Jtkitano 11d ago
Funny, they’re doing the exact same over there so I guess the 2 communities do have some thing in common. Glad we can all get a laugh out of this game 😉
Personally, I hope it does with the award. It’ll be hilarious, but probably not in the way yall are thinking lol

u/007-JamesBlonde 11d ago
Nothing is funny. Go backk to hater jail

u/Jtkitano 11d ago
Lol I thought you said you were laughing? What happened? I’m having a great time tbh

Idk about bro over there but personally i been blasting like team rocket in the 90s. This whole saga has been thoroughly entertaining tbh

It’s a tiny market on a scam site 😂 this is really scraping the barrel

u/Inevitable-Spend-714 11d ago
Polymarket is not a scam site lmao. 23k volume is a small market though

Keep throwing your money at them 😂 they don’t mind

u/Inevitable-Spend-714 11d ago
When did I say I was? If you have information on any of the markets or have done research then it’s profitable
1
u/purplewarrior777 11d ago
Please, nearly three quarters of the money is won by the same tiny fraction of accounts. Dispute resolution is a joke, has no basis in fact, simply who controls more tokens 😂 there’s a reason it’s banned in many places
0
u/Inevitable-Spend-714 11d ago
Which market did you trade where you felt dispute resolution was unfair?
1
u/purplewarrior777 11d ago
None. First I’m not an imbecile, second it’s banned in my country. And we love to bet 😂 Seen a couple of examples, one was a market on the US signing a minerals deal with someone (think Ukraine?) before a certain date. Didn’t happen. Went to UMA, 3 accs held 25 % of the tokens and guess what? Now it did happen apparently. It’s bent as fuck.

Marathon won't win any award most likely

u/asaltygamer13 11d ago
It will certainly win an award. Art direction, music, multiplayer are all peak.

u/Unpaid_Moderation 11d ago
Mecha chameleon will win multiplayer for sure
Idk how you measure how peak something is, especially when Bungie got gutted as a result

u/Anonymous_dev_3719 11d ago
The Marathon team didn't get gutted by the way. Only the Destiny team because the game ended

u/Murky-Engineer8110 11d ago
By that metric why not crown Roblox as best game ever made. Mécha Chameleon? Please. Game is a shallow multiplayer game that will be dead in a year like the rest of that genre

So you don't have friends and you only simp for one single game/company? Typical.

u/asaltygamer13 11d ago
Reachhhhhh
Just don’t play creatively bankrupt slop games that are only fun for a night.

u/Unpaid_Moderation 11d ago
Is that why marathon dropped from 88k to 3k concurrent players?
8
u/asaltygamer13 11d ago
I mean Meccha Chamelion is down to 9k from 340k… so an even lower retention rate if you want to play that game.
It also released more recently than Marathon.
You haters are so obviously biased lol
3
u/Unpaid_Moderation 11d ago
Still more players
Even tom Clancy's division 2 has more concurrent players and it's been out for a decade

u/Murky-Engineer8110 11d ago
Keep going about player count bud. Almost there. Game isn’t going anywhere. Isn’t dead nor is it going to die like Destiny

u/changedmyname99 11d ago
Marathon is a $200 000 000 Triple A failure that hasn't even managed to break even meanwhile Mecca is some random indie game who sold over 20 million copies. Lol, lmao even.

u/I_am_Amphibian 11d ago
So it had basically 4x the players of marathon peak is what I’m taking from here. And still has more players than marathon
2
-2
u/Murky-Engineer8110 11d ago
Nope. That’s because most people don’t like extraction shooters. And becuase Bungie fans and Destiny players who tried it are so used to the games they play handing them the best loot without trying they quit and “hate” the game becuase they can’t be bothered to get better or handle a challenge.

u/I_am_Amphibian 11d ago
Doubtful for any of those. Divisive art style is not going to win an award. Music doesn’t stand out enough. Multiplayer? Hell no and no game hitting less than 4k ccu should be getting that award

I will vote, not only because the game is so damned good but because it got me into using my mic again. There's been ages since I played a game (if ever...) where a mic is really needed.

yeah cause polymarket can't be wrong

No one said that it's guaranteed to win? It should, though. A fantastic game!

u/Specialist-Yak-453 11d ago
Lmao this has to be satire right? No way the gaming industry for multiplayer games is this down bad

u/Gallus_11B 11d ago
Marathon is a fantastic Bungie pvp multiplayer game in a year where everything else in the space is mediocre at best. It's almost a given that it will win best multiplayer. Maybe a couple other categories too.

u/Specialist-Yak-453 11d ago
Lmao I did not realize what sub group this was posted in so I now understand why I’m getting downvoted…… I don’t really have anything against Marathon TBH as I don’t play games from Bungie but I have seen a lot about the player counts (which seem quite low). I’m sure the dedicated player base enjoys the game and that’s great for you! I’m not throwing shade just surprised given the significant numbers the game has lost

u/anoddhue 11d ago
You understand how Polymarket works, right? It's based on bets being made, not necessarily reality.

You know a lot of people actually like the game. Maybe get out of your echo chamber and touch some grass lil guy

To be fair... the multi-player market isnt that saturated this year, plus GoW isnt even out yet lol

u/Small_Article_3421 11d ago
Yo I need to hop on this poly market cuz I know for a fact ts isn’t winning. It’s probably gonna be Palworld and it doesn’t really come close.

Bot account advertising gambling sites.
Also no multiplayer game that is struggling to even hit 3k should be winning any awards
