Marathon just looks like typical AAA garbage. Those seeking Halo as it should be...
Is on MODDB so is legit and likely better than what the clowns at Bungie/Microsoft dish up. Is an awesome play 😎 Is free, so nothing to lose. One caveat, if you like you're not going to be playing anything else for a good while as this is Halo 🙂

Such a missed opportunity to NOT release a native Mac port of this game!!
Likely saved you some coins as game doesn't look to be any good. Sony needs to shuffle the deck as what they have done of recent simplify isn't working. Listening to the customer's might be a start, equally roll out the next multi million dollar failure...

Just try, this isn't a modders version of HALO, this is HALO as it should be on the PC with all the Xbox flavour. Takes you back if you were there. As a newcomer top tier FPS with a solid narrative, dial up the difficulty level be assured your hands will be full and then some...😎

Sony owns bungie now so I don't see why Sony couldn't put a Mac port out of marathon.... They made one for death stranding, not like they're against Mac ports...
That ship has likely sailed. Seems that Sony has second thoughts on bringing it's IP to platforms other then the playstation

Fine by me as have no urge to purchase a PlayStation, more so with Sony's pitiful efforts... Can game on the PC forever regardless of OS and never get bored.

If you are looking for a single player experience nothing Bungie is putting out will fit that requirement.

Kojima did the port for the first game, not sure who is doing the port for the sequel, but it definitely isn't Sony.

Hence zero interest, The Bungie of Halo is very far from the joke of today. Very simple I will not throw money at AAA that keep churning out broken garbage. Choosing to vote with my wallet will in time make the change...

Right now deep into Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon 😎 Can pretty much gather ES6 is going to be **** as that's Bethesda's trademark...

Sony bought Bungie for their multi-player capability and then screwed the pooch with marathon.
From what I've heard Marathon isn't a bad game. It currently has more players than Destiny (according to Steamdb.info). Which isn't saying much, lol. I would be curious to see how many PS players are active though.

For publicly traded developers/publishers live service money is like fentanyl.

Agreed, I've said as much earlier in this thread when the game was released. I was rather surprised it was released, because I was expecting it to be quietly killed.

The Bungie studio has been gutted with layoffs, largely because they failed to fulfill what sony wanted them too

Sony did the port for the sequel. The publisher is Sony/Kojima and the developer is Kojima/Nixxes and the latter is a Sony owned studio.
Sorry I was referring to the macOS port. Yeah Nixxes is helping with the PC port (cause that is what they do), I don't think they have any macOS experience.
