EVE Online has been created in 2003. I guess that it still uses Python 2.7. I'm not sure that a video game would pick marshal in 2018.

EVE doesn't use stock CPython, IIRC. They use a version of stackless 2, with their own patches. If a company is willing to patch python itself, I don't think their practices should be cited without more context about what they actually modified.
