Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I am sure Sony PlayStation is doing their best here. Besides these are hard earned money and Playstation has no basic refund policy in the first place.

I agree, I think this is such a catastrophic failure they need to step in and just put it out of its misery.
Refund everyone make it free to play and step away. Just leave it for those that want a blast and run it for a year then turn the servers off or something. I don't even know.

Thanks, got valuable info for future referencesThe game subreddit is a sad sight:
47 in-gane right now... just 11 more to beat a new all time low record.

It's probably not that straight forward. They'll have to create a progression in the game that incentivize people to spend money on skins and such. If they just make it free-to-play it would cost them even more money for keeping the servers up for nothing.
It's quite the pickle.

At this point they should refund the 25000 players who bought it and close it... no point in making it f2p and keep the servers open for 40ppl or making it f2p to be closed in a few months to get a lawsuit for ppl who spend money on cosmetics.

Game is warning that 1 hour of scheduled server maintenance is planned.
My bet is they are shutting a bunch of servers down to save money.

Could be.
Today is also the weekly reset + the first new vignette and first new variant that weren't in the beta.

Unless PS5 players turned off crossplay, then yes.

The correct solution was to include private matches (actual, LAN private matches, not server dependant - you know, technology we've had since the 90s).
But unfortunately, unless proper legislation passes, games like this will continue to just die.

The professor is probably just running the server off a Raspberry Pi in his/her bedroom at this point.

professor is fat fuck but still a woman, so not a he/his rofl, irl they cant give women masculine jaws/chins like they do to many western AAA games females,so its usually super ez to know, even when woman is on srs gear u can tell its still a woman

I imagine it would be a problem with retailers since the game is still stocked (at least in my local supermarket).
Sometimes stores sell games with deprecated online functionalities but here the game is a couple weeks old. They’ll have to keep the servers running a bit longer.

Soon it will hit Hellblade 2 numbers. But I think its sold even worse than that game as the review numbers are vastly in favour of Hellblade 2.

And you don't depend on joining other 9 players to be able to even play.

Crazy to think how badly this thing has bombed/cratered.

There is a flaw in your logic. You assume PS5 players are dropping as fast as Pc players and we just do not know if that's true. The dropoff could be less on PS5.

10.000 on steam with a peak so low is very very strange

That's assuming CCU on PS5 is on par with Steam.

It's just an absolute disaster. Lol
Really curious what Sony is going to do. They closed studios that performed wayy better.

It's just an indirect estimation.
I'm not saying it's very accurate. But it's what we have.

The game has hit like 23 players a few hours ago. That's how many people i invited to my birthday party. The game released a week ago.
How can this possibly be happening?
There's no way these past 12 months went by without a few heads rolling at Playstation, from TLOU online cancelation, this game flopping like this, etc.
I can't even imagine some of the internal meetings happening right now about the Haven project. Wouldn't be surprised if Sony just cancels the entire thing.

No way they sold anywhere near 10,000 on Steam.
My guess would be they sold a maximum of about 1500 or MAYBE 2000 at most.

There was supposed to be an hour of manteinance with the servers down... that 23 must be de devs waiting with the gane open in the game menu?

True, then again, matchmaking should take way longer on average if it was that low on PS5.
Granted, haven't played since last thursday, but it only took 2.5 minutes on average to get in the first match, after that 5-30 secs on average, different players each match.
Would be impossible with like 250 CCU total across Steam and PS5.

If we look at how the numbers fluctuate across the day, it seems to indicate that this game has more players on the US, then in the Europe, and finally in Asia.
So how easy it is to find matches, is probably related to where someone is.

Fairgames and Marathon are next. Hermen has two years left (till those release) to prepare his golden parachute.

The man had like 3 different goodbye parties and gave Playstation the biggest revenue ever. He was responsible for the acquisition of everything since Insomniac (including that studio), meaning he's responsible for most of Playstation studio acquisitions. He's responsible for the way cloud evolved to the point it's now better than anything from Xbox, the man was responsible for decreasing the price of PS Now, doubling its userbase before it all joined together for PS Plus, games like Returnal, Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok etc were released under his watch. Some of these were record-breaking games for the platform.
If anything Sony was happy with him. And Concord flopping now is nothing to do with Jim leaving.

True, I'm EU-based though, so my estimates are based off that time-zone.
Still, numbers are pathetic all around.
Edit:
So matchmaking times are as I stated around peak-hours in EU.
Around that time, Steam has ~180 CCU on average.
If PS5 were like 1.5x Steam CCU, you'd get a total of ~500 CCU.
Matchmaking times would be impossible with such a low number, imo.
Then again, might be completely off here. But otherwise I'd run into pretty much the same people non-stop.
