Support NeoGAF

[rm082e]

As fun as the dunking is (please don't stop), I do feel for the people who are out of work and now have to figure out their next paycheck. That's an awful ordeal to go through.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Talentless freaks

 

[Revolutionary]

Also don't miss the Concord episode on Secret Level, Amazon Prime's new hit show!

 

[Radical_3d]

Does this guy still have a job?

[Dorfdad]

Maybe I’m an ass but this is one time where I can say I hope those who drove this ship never find a job in gaming again.

Source is our friend and neighbour Jason:

WOW! It had to happen. And glad that it did.

Professor ain't getting tenure

Promoted to Professor of manure.

 

[Fake]

The power of incels.

 

[TrebleShot]

Sony will shut down bioware next

 

[XXL]

 

[Xtib81]

Oof. I hope Retardera is okay.

 

[winjer]

 

[Portugeezer]

The incels have too much power.

 

[nowhat]

There's an expression in my native Finnish, "yllättyneet käsi ylös". Which means, "those surprised, raise your hands". I won't be raising mine.

[GymWolf]

Do we have any news of how the professor took the news?

 

[Calverz]

What an embarrassment for Sony.

 

[nial]

I was just thinking yesterday if Sony was going to announce this soon.
If you're happy about this, feel free to thank me.

 

[Warspite]

But now these people might go and lend their "Talents" to other studios

 

[mayham2199]

So Concord isn't coming back as a f2p shooter, or will it be handed off to another studio?

If they went this far with it I doubt they even bother trying to bring it back. I don't see the point.

 

[Gambit2483]

When will these Publishers learn??

Stop hiring unskilled activists using your game as a political platform.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Ware Vincel Iictory

 

[GamesDontSuck]

Shit.
I thought they were just going to retool the game after they took it down. You know, give the studio X amount of time to make it better.

But wow.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Good bye Professor

 

[jshackles]

But now these people might go and lend their "Talents" to other studios

Not with Concord staining their resumes they wont

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'm devastated

 

[Fabieter]

Will they fire hulst for supporting it?

 

[Fake]

Do we have any news of how the professor took the news?

[kaizenkko]

Neon Koi closed too. Wow, Sony is really cleaning the house. Next should be Bungie.

 

[adamsapple]

Will they fire hulst for supporting it?

He'll probably get a bonus out of this for trimming company expenses.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Imagine celebrating people losing their jobs because the game was woke.

 

[Alebrije]

Oof...

 

[dmaul1114]

On the one hand, unsurprising given the game bombed and got pulled and refunded.

On the other, I figured they'd have them make some tweaks and re-launch as a F2P to try and at least recoup some money. It would never be a hit, but there were some people on Podcasts etc. that seemed to really like the gameplay, so as an F2P it may have at least made a little money I'd think.

Maybe they'll hand it off to someone else to make some tweaks and put out a F2P version I suppose.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Next stop, Haven.

 

[nikos]

More like fired, walk.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Heart goes out to the devs affected and hope they land on their feet over at Microsoft

 

[SEGAvangelist]

 

[Kurotri]

Alright I'm out of the loop, what's this professor talk?

 

[YCoCg]

I need a Professor

 

[DeepEnigma]

What an embarrassment for Sony.

 

[nial]

Man, even Neon Koi. Sony literally can't into mobile gaming.

 

[Sleepwalker]

This week keeps on giving.

Bye!!

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Imagine celebrating people losing their jobs because the game was woke.

The writing was on the wall for Concord years back and they refused to change course, and instead doubled down. No pity whatsoever from me.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Neon Koi closed too. Wow, Sony is really cleaning the house. Next should be Bungie.

Unless Marathon bombs big I doubt it.

 

[Sethbacca]

It's not surprising it happened, it's surprising it didn't happen sooner.
