Marathon's Next Play Is Not As Obvious As It Seems

Marathon is a solid extraction shooter that has struggled to find the larger audience that it desperately needs to survive, and Bungie and Sony might have to go back to the drawing board to ensure that the game avoids the worst-case scenario. Playing Marathon requires a learning curve and dropping $40, and it's really hard for live-service games to attract players when there's a paywall involved. It's been a rough first few months for Marathon, but the extraction shooter still has promise.
