Gameplay of Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon was finally revealed over the weekend, and while there's plenty of excitement for it, a not-negligible number of gamers have jumped into the conversation to make unflattering comparisons to Concord. Spurred by those reactions, a former Concord developer has taken to Reddit (via VG247) to encourage everyone to give the game a chance—and, maybe more importantly, to show some empathy for the people working on it.
"After reading the comments about Marathon being Concord 2.0 on Reddit, YouTube, and Twitch, I just wanted to share a little insight into what a forty year old man is feeling after dedicating a large portion of his life to making videogames," MrSpug—former Firewalk Studios senior VFX artist Stephan Williams—wrote in the Marathon subreddit.
