I have nothing against Marathon. I just don’t want to pay that much money for an extraction shooter when none if my friends like extraction shooters. Not only that, I don’t have time for another microtransaction riddled online shooter. Back in the day I fell down that hole with Apex Legends and Overwatch and the live service and battle pass model takes literally all the fun out of a game. Now I’m here almost a decade later and I don’t play any of those games anymore and none of my time or money wasted for digital fun bucks can ever be recovered. The only one I still play is Overwatch but I absolutely refuse to give them money ever since they made it F2P. Any battlepass I’ve ever completed for Overwatch was completely by accident and my life is so much better without the unneeded stress of challenges and battlepass points.

Honestly, the microtransactions are nonexistent in game. Pure cosmetic bullshit like gun color schemes and stickers.
I personally really enjoy it because I am a solo player. The solo experience is more akin to a horror game than an action game.
