Hugely embarrassing. Back to the drawing board Sony.

There's no way this is coming back. No fucking way. They'll bury it.

Never seen something like this occur in all my years gaming

The only thing they can do if they already have single player campaign work done, is to finish that, release the game as a single player campaign game and dont worry about server maintnance and updates.

At the end of the day i just hope Concord serves as a lesson of what not to do for other devs trying to make AAA games for modern audiences. They are niche and only indies funded by governament will survive that.

 

[Germuso]

But the professor

 

[PeteBull]

"Concord fans —"

Such thing exists? Like genuinely serious question.

We saw 28 ccu on steam today, so barely any

 

[Jaybe]

What the fuck?! Now the controller really is a collectors item.

Get it signed by RuPaul

 

[Arsic]

Lmao. Best ban ever. Fuck this game.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Honestly the best card they could've played right now.
There is just no salvaging this.
Good on them to not wait longer with this decision.

Feel sorry for those that now will have that stain on their trophies list haha

Yeah, trophy hunters have only 3 days until it stays forever incomplete on their profiles, they're fucked unless they did majority of the progress earlier.

 

[Fabieter]

This game is spitting on the grave of the best airplane ever made.

 

[Hookshot]

That controller actually looks really good.

That controller is actually really nice. Lol.

I agree, it's both subtle but not, yet works as it isn't too over the top like some limited ones. Buy two if you want to unbox one.

Both Concord and Black Myth Wukong launched on the same day. Concord is shutting down, while BMW has sold over 15 million copies already. Let this be a lesson to game studios and publishers about what we want.

…more direct interference from and indirect meddling with a communist state?

[Hudo]

Can we stop giving this son of a bitch a platform? The guy is only interested in farming industry drama to get clicks and to sell his (badly written) books. How he achieved to be some sort of "journalistic authority" is far beyond me.
And people still listen to what this asshole has to say.

Ironic how he screams about "anti-woke people", while knowing fully well how this will just stir the pot.

 

[Alan Wake]

Just wow. Appears they wanted to bury this stinker as quickly as they possibly could.

 

[JohnnyPhats]

What the fuck can we rip the piss out of now?

Dustborn

 

[cireza]

Honestly disappointed that they didn't continue rushing into the wall for a longer period.

Hopefully they make up for this with more GaaS.

 

[Kings Field]

 

[Killer8]

Too soon.

 

[Represent.]

The fact that SONY tried to turn fucking Naughty Dog, of all studios, into a generic live service factory machine says it all.

I really couldn't be any happier with this floppage. I hope it hurt their pockets and ego. Big stupid corporate heads running a gaming company with no care in the world for gamers wants.

No showcases, no game announcements, just blog posts and GAAS trash. Fuck you, give me my money back.

I feel bad for the devs themselves but this had to flop for the greater good. Hopefully they rebound nicely at another studio.

 

[Kacho]

wtf will Men_in_Boxes do now?

 

[EviLore]

A lot of great AA and indie projects could’ve been funded with that Concord money.

 

[Rambotito]

All that wokeness went to eternal sleep.

 

[Jaybe]

When it does return, all the characters will have mysteriously gone on Ozempic.

 

[near]

 

[ManaByte]

How he achieved to be some sort of "journalistic authority" is far beyond me.

He ran the "GameJouralPros" Google mailing list, which they used to blacklist game sites guilty of wrongthink.

 

[ScorpionX]

Look at what you chuds did to my darling

 

[SiegeDamage]

RIP in pieces

 

[Gone 2.0]

Another SJW loss = a win for humanity and common sense.

Let's gooooooo.

 

[GymWolf]

wtf will Men_in_Boxes do now?

 

[Negotiator101]

Full refunds for all platforms!? A game so bad that it being in the public domain is causing reputational damage to the point where Sony of all companies are happy to refund it?

Wow.

This is hilarious and hopefully humbling for Sony in terms of what players want. What a massive miss step.

Is massive a big enough word?

 

[Roman Empire]

Scrub them pronouns off and rework them character designs before they launch f2p

They should bring new characters instead, and roll out the old characters with good designs later. Make it like some fuck up happened in the original game where they destroyed the timeline or something and the old "heroes" got separated in this new universe à la to what Square did with FF14 1.0.

 

[DannyDanger]

Only a bunch of Talentless Freaks would make a GAAS that gets shutdown this quickly

 

[mitch1971]

You bigotphobes!!

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I think Sony wants people to forget this game existed. Something that performed this badly was negatively affecting the entire gaming division.
They need to fire the design team at Firewalk and give the rest a chance to work on a single player title.......or merge the remaining devs into PS Studios

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

A lot of great AA and indie projects could’ve been funded with that Concord money.

Yeah. Instead all the money went into the professor's research.

 

[MayauMiao]

 

[ManaByte]

Too soon.

[R6Rider]

saw this on Reddit thread:

To put this in perspective:

Concord and Astro Bot were formally revealed in the same State of Play.

By the time Astro Bot launches, you won’t be able to purchase or play Concord anymore.

This is an all timer.

 

[Jaybe]

Games “journalism” still fails to recognize that forced identity politics played at least some role in this epic failure

 

[Davevil]

Concord(ia)

 

[Poached_Tama]

This is a sequel to Hyenas that we never needed.

 

[Senua]

Actual response

Edit: fuck, wrong GIF. Keeping it.

That's bjork thinking about me in my red booty shorts

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

They just wanted that crowd to buy Astrobot

 

[Draugoth]

Already delisted

 

[Sanepar]

Lol Sony is so fucked on long term. Keep not making showcases and bringing crap woke culture products your fate will be glorious. Hope they close this factory of woke culture called Firewalk.

 

[Dorfdad]

Lmao, fastest game death of all time

Interesting they are not going to just walk away from it. I sense a complete makeover of characters and a relaunch to free to play.
