I'm glad to have some way to access/explore Cryo archive, but I do wonder how much people will want to do it. Once you beat it, and sherpa folks I guess it's just for the love of the game, or for Codex cosmetics. Put another way, this seems like a nice PvE mode for people who already like and play Marathon, not enough to make someone with zero interest in the game to buy it. I'd like to be wrong about that, though. At 30-40 bucks it might be worthwhile.

Meanwhile, on the Internet, loud people are handling this in a very stupid way. (complaining they are diluting the hardcore-ness of the game or at least that's the best summary I can give while sounding cogent.)
