So does this mean that Marathon will be an even bigger money sink than Concord was?, definitely a bad omen indeed.

Yes, since Sony isn't going to be refunding everything and shutting Marathon down it can't be a tax write-off like Concord was, like how some movies get completed but never released when studios know it will be a complete turd.

Maybe I don’t know economic stuff well enough, but tax write-offs seem like a way for companies to just get out of major fuck-ups mostly scot-free. Imagine if Sony actually got punished for their mistakes, what a world that would be.
 
How the fuck were SEGA the smart ones, or at least the only ones able to see the writing on the wall, when they cancelled Hyena's and just ate the tax write-off?

Honestly I think the only reason Sony is trying to double down on Marathon is the loss of pride from Concord. I can only hope the Horizon one fails solely to spite Hulst.

There are limits unless you’re a Hollywood account operating 20 shell companies, for everyone else, tax write offs just mean you are losing less money. You reduce your taxable income, but you don’t get any of the money you spent on Bungie’s troon salaries back.
