you launch WITHOUT <Killer Feature> anyway, well that's just saying to customers "here, take our half assed unfinished shit and like it. Give us money because we're #Bungie!" - that doesn't sit well with me.

I see #Marathon rocking its own junk on a bollard and dissappearing in a month or two just like #highguard or #concord.

Meanwhile I have six hundred hours in #ArcRaiders after its launch 4 months ago and its still fresh.
