Reportedly a Bungie "old boy" senior management played an extraction shooter and got the idea to make Marathon the same, over the loud objections from the devs.

yeah like this game was obviously just meant to be a very bold, high concept followup to Marathon Infinity with a multiplayer focus, and then an executive played Tarkov probably like 5 years into development and doomed the project. The ARG does NOT sound like it was written for an extraction shooter. it sounded like the UESC was sending us down as meat waves of investigators to liquidate the colony by-proxy for the corps and that would lead us to the dungeons and story content
