    I think that’s the point of the article. Bungie arranged to use Aleph One’s code for the free Steam version. It’s just another avenue to introduce the game to new players.

      Bungie isn’t even listed on the Steam page as developer or publisher. I don’t think Bungie arranged anything here. They just promoted the release via a tweet.

        Sorry if I have that wrong. I’m not on Steam. That was the gist of one of the articles.

      Ah, got it. I was confused because Aleph has been a thing for a very long time. I didn’t click that it was “…on Steam” that’s the important part.

      I loved Marathon back in the day; played the hell out of it on an LC475, and it was a key reason why a) I stuck with Macs in my post-Amiga era, b) made me a fan of Bungie in general, c) broke my heart when Halo became an XBox exclusive, and c) resulted in my buying an XBox anyway because Halo is/was basically Marathon 4.

        I didn’t play Marathon when it was first released due to life making other demands. But I’ve enjoyed it immensely in the last several years. Old school is my thing, it seems. :)
