The game wasn't F2P, that was the issue. Don't make a live service game like this and then charge for it. Destiny has been the exception and even that shit got old quickly.

Bro, concord had many other issues too, not just being 40$, plenty of games are 40$ but dont bomb or at least dont bomb as hard

Be a lot of interesting discussions at Sony, Helldivers 2 insane success would of brought them 6months of joy and hope from the restructure from Japan to West (RIP Studio Japan) and now this.
I dont even really care to reflect on this games political agendas, console manufacturers need hits and Sony needs to keep a ahead of Microsoft.

They are unreleasing it. Never thought I would see it happen from a first party.

“A four-act stage play”? No, but perhaps Concord The Musical. The game was already Producers like, though instead of Springtime for Hitler, it used DEI overloaded characters. The perfect musical for our times and guaranteed to sell more tickets than the game sold copies.

With this going down as one of the biggest failures in video games history. This should be a hard lesson for VG companies in the west to actually listen to what people, and actual audience (customers) wants.
Edit - And I'm not even talking strictly obtuse DEI, but also the inane attempt to push souless live service titles by mega corps.

By literally doing nothing I destroyed a giant console maker, their entire publishing strategy, a development team of hundreds of people, a purple themed video game forum, and a game that took eight years to make. Me right now:

Developers, publishers, platform holders and investors; "Here is what we are doing and why, watch our public presentation! Just so you won't miss it, we'll be really in your face about it and repeat it countless time too! This is a good thing and you should like it!" (In this case referring to DEI, aka 'wokeness')
*product does horribly and is unappealing*
Mongoloids after; "Wow, the disgusting players didn't like the product and made up a baseless conspiracy to claim to know the motives behind the actions of the developers, publishers, platform holders and investors! They are so dumb too for their conspiracies with no known public evidence!"
Anyone playing dumb like this and gaslighting can go and eat lead paint, imagine trying to hold up a narrative for you and the other 10 Concord fans. Beyond sad. Jason Schreier fits this bill 100% as well.

You are not alone. I wish Sony would finally recognize what men want and what not. Even a lot of women would like it.
This is the modern audience (the same as it has always been) and not some audience the professor is dreaming of.

Dont ever buy live service games on Gray Market Sellers, that's like using your Facebook account for porn websites.

He’s like that one dude who worked on Concord and claimed all the people who didn’t like the game were talentless.

Saw this earlier and it made me laugh. The amount of people that think this game failed because of the "anti-woke" folks is crazy to me. A AAA game doesn't fail because of one single group. It would be different if the game sold 1M copies because then you can point to a loud minority but Concord has failed because NOBODY bought it which includes the same mentally ill people that constantly defend the game blindly.

What Daniel Ahmad is really saying is that the theory of evolution and the billions of years of selective pressures that programmed certain preferences into human psychology is a "conspiracy focused narrative."
Arguing with him is no different that arguing with creationists who think the earth is 6,000 years old.

16 watchers, no buyers. Too soon to be trying to sell this for 150 bucks.Geez, gotta choose between The Lost Child for Switch or Concord for PS5... I wonder which one will hold the most collectible value in the future...

The number of simultaneous players on PC almost hit zero. 37 was the lowest I saw; no multiplayer game can survive on that.

Of course they would think like that.
For people like these, it's never their own fault, because that would mean their ideology would be wrong.
So they always have to blame other people.

That's satire/rage bait btw.

Steam Discussion is full of that sort of stuff to bait people into using a Steam Points on their posts.

Any way of finding out if they actually played the game they seem to love so much?
I don't like being mean, for the sake of being mean, but that guy is just an idiot. Calling other people grifters, when he is dismissing what is actually happening in corporate America, is the height of willful ignorance.
Just a clown.

Unfortunately technology has made echo chambers all the more prevalent. Unfortunately the loudest get the most attention (this goes for both sides, while I find the woke people more annoying overall both sides are obnoxious).
I actually found it on /v/ and found it funny.
I mean I'm sure you could check the steam profile?Any way of finding out if they actually played the game they seem to love so much?

The game has a multitude of issues. If the paid portion was the problem, the same would happen to Helldivers. Helldivers bought interesting things and it wasn't a disaster in terms of presentation and concept designs. Also the game had a free beta, almost no one appeared.
Seriously, people should give up with this low effort thinking that money was the issue.

Totally a interesting thing that I would be willing to give a try.
The main issue is, now we're dealing with modern Sony. So, alot of things would be tuned for modern audiences, Fat princess would not be a thing, no attractive female characters in the roster, etc.

Most sold out.
Will forget about it for 30 years and then see what the value is. Should be a good collectors item.

If they're pulling it so early, it has to be to work on it and try to salvage what they can from it, and not let all that dev time go down the drain. If they just wanted to completely abandon the game, they would have kept it active for a few weeks/months until it was completely dead. That would be my guess.
