Time to pay your last respects to Microsoft's "This is an Xbox" campaign, as it appears to have been killed off

Microsoft quietly pulled its 'This is an Xbox' campaign — the page returns a 404 and the tag is gone.

"UESC is still a menace, don't worry" - Marathon community debates PvE nerfs following game's first major balance patch

Marathon trimmed PvE enemy HP (~10-15%) and boss/miniboss shields (25%) to stop runs from draining ammo.

Solos breathe easier; veterans say the game lost its bite.

Quarantine module at work. #dataentry What I'm best at!!!

I WANT PEOPLE TO BELIEVE ME THE FIRST TIME. Believe my pain without proof. Believe my limits without debate. Believe my symptoms without questioning my strength. I shouldn’t have to defend what my body feels. Trusting me is support — doubting me is harm. Being believed shouldn’t feel like a luxury. 🦶 In My Shoes: Imagine opening up about something vulnerable — only to be met with skepticism or comparison — and having to convince people that what you feel is real while you’re already fighting it in silence. @begonepots
