You need the community. You need as many people playing as possible to have a player base that's actually playing the game for these type of multiplayer only experiences, which leads me to it's multiplayer only. And it's like, man, I look at that and I know that I am just a specific type of gamer, but there are many of me and I want to play a single player bungee marathon game that looks like that.

Cool, I'm not getting that, but it's still a paid title. That to me kind of reads a little bit weird. Games cost money. There has to be a price. I also think Marathon's caught right now in a very terrible time for product announcements because of state of the world and tariffs and everything where why do we not know the price?

Why was there already misinformation this weekend of it's going to be a full-priced game? Oh, wait, no, it's not. No, it's not full-priced. We're going to talk more in the summer about the pricing. Why is that? Is it because they don't know yet? Are they just trying to figure it out? Or are they hedging their bets and trying to wait for all that?

Either way, not good news for a game that I think is already an uphill battle to win people over. So I think that's just kind of where we're at is in the time and place that we're in, this doesn't seem like a great move.

I mean, dude, that's really the conversation, right? It's like, I feel like we're just at a point that it almost doesn't matter if the game is good or not. Like, we look at this and like, yeah, it's Bungie. Like, their gunplay feels impeccable, right? You expect it's going to. We'll hear from Paris later about actually how it feels and like, is it a good game or not?

But remember, like, Concord, like, a lot of people here are kind of funny, like, enjoyed the game. But that is just not enough in this day and age with where we're at and how much competition's out there. paid free or otherwise.

At the time, we always talk about being a big thing, but I feel like you talking about the Concorde and like, oh, it felt derivative because of Guardians of the Galaxy, which it's not just like, oh, we've seen this thing before. It's more about a vibe and a culture of like Guardians has permeated so many things for so long.

over a decade at this point that like it kind of just feels like been there done that already whereas like this I feel is kind of stuck in this awkward place where despite it looking I think awesome again I really like the direction of the art of this game the problem is

It's almost the opposite of the Guardian situation, where this kind of just feels like we've seen a lot of this for games that haven't necessarily even come out yet. But when they do come out, they're just kind of like, oh, yeah, the finals. I just feel like we've seen trailers that look like this of a ton of games coming out, and we're already exhausted by it.

man, yeah, God, it's so complicated. I want it to be very clear that I know that I sound just very doomy on all of this stuff, and it feels very like, oh, we've been here before, and that our conversation sounds like, guys, we get it, move on. But why aren't they moving on? Why are they continuing to do this over and over?

I feel like when we look at Concord specifically, they committed to a lot of things. They committed to, hey, there's going to be weekly story drops and all this stuff, and we're like, wow, y'all believe in this game. We've made cut scenes for an entire year. I can't believe that that's going to happen. How is that going to happen? But, like, y'all are committing to this, and that didn't work out.
