PayPalHalo and Destiny developer Bungie confirmed that Marathon will be launching March 5th, but it will most likely be unplayable on SteamOS Linux.
Bungie still have Destiny 2 completely blocked on all Linux platforms, something they have refused to budge on. So we're likely to be in the same position across all Linux platforms for Marathon too. They use BattlEye, which can be enabled for Linux - but they choose not to. This will be a recurring problem for the upcoming Steam Machine from Valve.
I've emailed the various different press teams working for Bungie multiple times to see if we could get a statement — none have replied to GamingOnLinux.
Since the pre-orders went up, Marathon has already become one of the top-selling items on Steam.

The good thing here is this plagiarising piece of trash is likely to fail miserably.
I wouldn't be surprised actually if, out of desperation, they enabled Linux support for the brownie points.
Quoting: PaldinoXit's highlighting a big game release that probably won't work for us.So it's more like taunting than informing, lol. Now I think it's even more odd. ;-)

I find this news very useful. I didn't even knew Bungie is releasing new game. Now I know it exists, it's a genre I don't like and it will not be running on linux.
Quoting: JarmerNobody from the Bungie glory days are still around. The suits are running the show, and when this doesn't get instahit status, which it won't, they'll shut it down.Do you know where they went? I really played the game a lot and I still like many aspects of it. But over the last few years, you could just tell how little art, story, etc., mattered anymore. It became all about grabbing cash. But I’d at least be interested in seeing what the talented people who used to be at Bungie have put together now.
Nothing to see here, just a shambling corpse. Safe to move on.
Quoting: XpanderPeople still pre-order games?I pre-ordered Digimon Story Time Stranger based on two factors: Cyber Sleuth was awesome and the demo for TS was awesome. When a team I know will make a good product is working on a product I know I will love... I don't see why I wouldn't pre-order it.
That's quite a shame tbh to give money without having a product for couple of months. You will not be able to refund then afaik.
Though on Steam (at least) you can just refund it if it turns out not to meet expectations (so long as you play less than 2 hours and ask for the refund within 2 weeks after launch).
