We need a proper dream team:
Alanah Pearce, The Professor, Jade Raymond, Corinne Busche, Anita Sarkeesian, Alyssa Mercante and patricia Hernandez.

People on here are not experienced enough in game development to realize it, but it's quite obvious that toxic masculinity is at the core of all issues with Marathon.

it's not a dream team without Frosk.
 
There's an expression I love, "morphologically damned", it's from a discussion of what animals could become the next intelligent species on earth if we disappeared. The damned species in question are the Dolphins, they are smart, but live in the sea, have flippers and no legs. There are too many complex evolutionary steps (getting back on land) involved for them to become tool builders compared with a Raccoon or Chimpanzees.
The point I'm laboriously working my way towards is that Marathon is similarly damned. They have to rip out all the aggressively ugly & unsexy art (not only because of plagiarism stuff) and fix the gameplay loop. There's too many steps involved in saving it so it's easier to just let it die. They can save something it if they transfer the gamemode to Destiny 2.

Fairgame$ on the other hand? From the little we've seen from it, I think it's fairly easy to fix.
 
Bring in Alanah to be the body model for the main protagonist stellar blade style and turn it into a 3rd person PVE shooter where you kill the existing characters

Print money
 
They don't need that. They're Bungie.

The company that turned Halo 2 around, that took a Destiny that had it's whole campaign rebooted just months ahead of it's planned debut alongside the then new generation of consoles into a shippable state just twelve months later, or that last year managed to wrap the series 10-year saga with grand success -- something that not even prime-time BioWare managed to do back in the day.

They just need to be told to play into their strenghts; perhaps a PvE mode that leverages their excelent encounter design and enemy AI to go alongside the current PvPvE offering of the game. Other than that, and minor tweaks here and there, the overall vision for the game is fantastic-looking.

Hell, there's actually nothing wrong with the game as is, it's just that the both media and culture war grifters are trying to burn it into the ground, as it seems to be the case with anything Sony-adjacent these days.

I remember when every poll on GAF had Thor 2 as an option, and I think thread titles that had "PSA" in them would also change to Thor The Dark World lol.
 
Get Nolan Bushnell out of retirement and in there.

People would celebrate being able to say Marathon had a Pong about it if nothing else.
