We’re obviously nowhere near the settling point for player numbers, overall reaction, or complete sentiment for the PvPvE extraction FPS Marathon – a fact we feel it important to stress in times when games and studios go dark within days if they don’t make all of the money – but considering the shooter is Bungie’s biggest current […]
