No. It wasn’t unrealistic constraints, you were too damn afraid to actually do anything to improve how the game felt and listen to the feedback your community was giving you; that’s why your game died a slow death. The same thing will happen with Marathon because you’ve already burned the goodwill of your community. Trust is a resource, it takes years to build but only days to spend, and you spent your budget on dumb shit after Forsaken.

You assume you won’t hurt anyone, but there’s still the chance to. What’s to say that the person riding the mower may veer into oncoming traffic causing an accident and harming people that way. Just because you don’t initially see something wrong with it doesn’t make it ok.
