They won't be able to adjust it until they know there's a problem, which will require people getting stuck in-queue and start bitching. We should be able to see those complaints.

It'll be interesting if people complain about it and Bungie just pretends not to notice (i.e. they tweak it internally on the fly and don't mention it as a patch note); that'll be the bigger tell that Marathon's in real (immediate) trouble of player count collapse.
Pretty sure this has already happened. I made a comment that the game would basically be unplayable outside of NA peak times already, and there are a couple threads talking about how people (in OCE, the 'canary' region due to their tiny population, have been talking about 10minute wait times before getting defaulted to NA/EU/Asia servers with >200ms ping) have experienced getting put on local servers with fewer players. Apparently it occured (at least once) on the end game map too.
 
No, they have tried with a few things, but I think they ultimately cant. There is a total ideological mismatch between LGBT ideology and cyberpunk.

They are both exploring and pushing similar ideas, but at the end of the day they both condemn one another. So when these people end up writing shit for cyberpunk, their intent gets reversed and their argument gets turned back on themselves. There is a subtext in this genre that completely destroys any kind of argument they are trying to make.

So when these guys try to frame MIDA, a faction that could be described as a sort of communist love child between the IRA and BLM, it ends up so poorly executed that it comes across as a strawman for conservatives.

While other factions have you acting as search and rescue or as recovery for geological survey data, every single MIDA missions has you fighting the 'police' or 'man' as it were. One mission you're spraying graffiti on building and in the next you are breaking windows to protest the system....

They read as both ineffective, incompetent, and lack all seriousness. The lore makes it clear that the one and only time they had any real power, instead of ushering in anti capitalist utopia, they instead murdered around 10% of the entire population. Their terror was short lived, maybe only a few months. Just pathetic really. It's a meme in the marathon community,
This is even gayer that two gays having gay sex.
