After almost five years and a few ups and downs, Bungie's Marathon is now publicly available. As people check out the FPS, fans of Arc Raiders are trying to quell tribalism within their community in the name of simply enjoying more variety on the market.
Marathon and Arc Raiders invite some comparison, with both being sci-fi extraction shooters. They offer a blend of PvP and PvE, have distinct structures for their progression, and use futuristic settings for their backdrops, albeit to very different ends.
You could easily imagine players being entrenched in one or the other, like Battlefield and Call of Duty, but the fanbase of Embark's release is being less combative.
