150 million dollars spent on this crap and it only had 700 players on steam. Now it’s being shut down less than a month after launch

Good. What a joke. Best to just yank it and move on

It's crazy how they couldnt design ONE cool character. Not even one! It's like Fat Minority Libtard: The Game. You know how sometimes when you're watching a movie, there's a scene where kids are playing an obviously fake game in the background? That's what Concord looked like. It looks like a parody of Overwatch, but it's real

It was a 40$ overwatch clone that had the most disgusting character designs people have ever seen

There's probably a hardcore contingent of about 15 players that are super upset

i've been going down the youtube video rabbit hole on this game and this whole situation is just nuts from start to finish. AAA gaming is in shambles right now

Reminds me of Suicide Squad's Mrs. Freeze

Like bro, nobody (male or female) wants to play as that or thinks thats cool. Get real

Perfect example of go woke/go broke. Ubisoft is next with their stupid shite.

Black Myth Wukong and soon Space Marine 2 are about to show that focusing on actually cool world building and having an interesting story/good action is all a game needs to be successful.

Hopefully this demonstrates including pronouns and shoehorning in political commentary and token DEI characters into games is likely to kill a games revenue and we see this shite reigned in or stopped entirely.

The character design is a small reason why this game failed. Price point with little to offer for it is the big crux. Being in production for almost a decade made this game feel dated right out of the gate. Hero shooters, if people still want to play them, have moved on from what this is.

Sony just needs to revive games that gave them life to begin with:


SOCOM - how difficult is it to make a simplistic TPP military shooter?
Killzone - Guerilla doesn't want to make it? Hand it off to someone else.
Resistance - Insomniac is too busy with marvel. Hand if off to someone else.


make them multi-platform and count the money.

Yeah, not sure what they were going for with this. If it is something they were developing for 8 friggin years, someone at Sony should have pulled the plug long before this mess happened.

I don't know anything about this game. I've never played it.

I will say though that I'd rather pay money up front for a game like this than be nickel and dimed to death via cash shop.

Of course, that never stops publishers from double dipping

Holy hell that's hilarious. Was just perusing Green Man Gaming yesterday and it was available now nothing comes up when I search for it.

The nostalgia with this one.. was in a clan that participated in GameBattles and everything. Good times.. sucked they were Hawaii based and my mom would yell at me to STFU on the mic at 3 AM since it was 9 PM their time.

Good. Sony should be embarrassed by this game.
