No, not exactly because of Marathon. I think Bungie has simply found itself in a financial position where it has to prioritize one or the other.

They've never been able to be a two game studio in all the years they've tried.

Actually was reminded that they have, if only briefly.

D2 was originally supposed to launch in 2016, but it was delayed a full year for retooling. This meant that there was a 12-month gap Bungie had to fill.

So the D1 "Live Team" developed Rise of Iron for D1 while the rest of Bungie worked on D2, which is an impressive feat considering how well RoI was received (and deservedly so).
