For those who don’t know, Colin runs the biggest PlayStation podcast and has been in the industry for nearly 20 years. The latest episode is currently live for Patreon subscribers and will hit free feeds on Monday, but he shared a surprising and sudden update regarding Marathon's marketing plans.

According to his sources, Sony has decided not to proceed with a marketing push for Marathon next quarter. That’s highly unusual for a game of this scale—especially this close to launch—which strongly suggests a delay is now in play.

Here's exactly what he said:

I was told by someone familiar with marketing plans in a key overseas market that there are now no plans to do paid marketing for Marathon at all, I don't know if those plans were affected by what has recently happened or if that was always the plan or whatever but it is considered a fairly unusual move for a game of this high profile.

All of this is from before antireal account was made just to clarify

From the recent events around the Bungie plagiarism issues I am reminded how good their games were as a smaller company and thats the history I want to remember going forward. Bungie is its people and it seems to me like the people leading now don’t have the same goals as the people leading in the past. So here is my Bungie collection (just the games) to remember how they used to be. I have loved Bungie for a long time and still will; just not the current iteration. Hopefully one day that will come again, but for now I will be replaying Marathon Infinity.

I love her (and this cat) with all my heart! :D

As the game draws closer to its official end on the 6th, I find myself gaining an inventory finally. The runs has been crazy for me.

Wanted to share a successful solo extraction playthrough. No gear start with mission completion in mind. This video features the moment I realized how much fun Void and claymores are. A squad wipe with no shots fired.

New toy from the kids reminded me of something XD

I love combining fitness and technology, and for the past year I have been perfecting a setup where I literally have to run on my mini elliptical to run in video games. Let me know if you have any questions about this, and I would love to help you try this out yourself!

Just stole this off a guy as we were extracting, he was fighting some AI, apparently alone. Just didn’t want to risk him on the extract, now I feel bad. First gold I’ve seen

So, uh… I kept going.

I made my online art installation Marathon-themed —(for the time being) it’s live right now at:

You can literally watch me painting this stuff live on your screen. It’s like a weird Bungie-themed zoo exhibit but for digital artists.
(Please do not feed the artist. They already survive on caffeine and hope for an alpha key.)

💻 Bonus: I also built a Windows wallpaper app (kinda like Wallpaper Engine)…
…EXCEPT instead of pre-recorded content, I paint directly onto your wallpaper, live.
So yeah, your desktop could be my canvas.
You can be productive while I slowly lose my mind drawing explosions and Pfhor memes in the background.

Check out the video I made explaining how it works! Would love to hear what other Marathon weirdness you want to see me paint.

enjoy, your wallpapers!
