You can put a listing for any amount you want
Is anyone actually buying it though at these high prices? That's the important question

No matter what you think of the game itself, it's quite cocky for a publisher to expect it to be the next big thing. The market for multiplayer FPS:es is very competitive, and Concord didn't really bring anything new to the table, as I've gathered. Why does it need to cost so much money anyway to develop a hero shooter..?

Yup, you can filter by sold listings. All pretty much $80+ and this is on day one of it not being available.

How many? I fileted the listing worldwide by sold items and could only find 19 sold that was above 40-110£.
Maybe a small rush but I doubt it'll be valued in the long run.
I also came across this, lol:

Exactly! That's why it's bizarre people constantly bring up skin colour of characters. The sweetbabyinc stuff has rotted some people's brains.

You fuckers will make me grab a Concord disc coaster just in case it will sell for €1000 in 10 years from now. /s

You can find those in a dump next to the nearest Gamestop near you

You know why a lot kid these weird designers and game makers make lousy stuff they personally like and not care?
Most of the people working on games seem like contract workers. So after they get paid for their stint and move on to another company half the time. Look how many devs have a giant laundry list of games, companies and short term gigs.
So whether the game is successful or bombs it makes no difference to lots of them because by the time the game launches their contract stint is already over. They might already be working on a different game for a different company.
Most other people in other industries want FT employment and live through success and failure as they stick around.

Lol. That’s some self congrats note.
Our company lived through COVID too like a million other companies. And even included complicated things like worker and trucker shortages where a lot of this kind of stuff was a logistical nightmare. Also during the crazy times like port strikes and container ship shortages and docking bays it was a Wild West who got them and who didn’t.
Everyone should google port access and container ship fees years ago. Ports also got greedy and took over reserved docking bays companies pay for and sold them out to highest bidder.
Digital companies don’t have this issue.
Somehow we were able to still develop and ship out new products like every year.

GAAS isn't going anywhere. Marvel Rivals will come out and have millions of players.

Yeah I think it’s some of what you said but also a result of the Black Lives Matter movement and all the focus on that minority. So it feels a bit like all the studios then decided to have black leads at the same time.
Attractiveness is of course all subjective, but I won’t deny that I generally find Latin women the most attractive and Black women least attractive.

"None of us know what's next."
Keeping in mind that everything else is this tweet is trying to spin the situation in the most optimistic light possible, if that's all they can manage regarding the studio's future, I bet we hear about Firewalk's closure within the next few weeks.

I mean, if anything, new IPs are dead and not appealing to the male gaze is too risky when selling to males. Why risk 200m on a game nobody could possibly even care about until the first trailer. Just slap a Bloodborne IP on it and let's go.
Here we go:
Destiny 3: Firefly
God of War: Titties and Fight
Bloodborne 2 3D + Bloodborne Kart
Helldivers 3: I thought this was Amurica
Horizon 3: Aloy discovers Ozempic
The Last of Us 3: Best Served Cold OR Ellie Resumes the Hunt
The Titular Concord F2P gatcha anime waifu and husbando game
Peckerfield: The Shattered Vortex
Malo: Reach Around
Peter Parker 3

If management hasn’t told anyone what’s happening in terms of employment that’s a bad sign.
If jobs were safe even after a bad product getting refunded, management would had already assured people the company is safe and jobs aren’t going anywhere. Especially if that PR tweet seemed genuine that they are looking to change there game to get more players (that line which sounded like they aren’t giving up).

Ads back then were award winning. In one of those old threads about awesome old ads I couldn’t believe how many awesome ads I never saw or remembered. Key one I remember is neo Geo “why dick around” mag ad they revised twice in following monthlies.How did we go from this, to where we are now lol

They most definitely deserve a participation trophy, maybe that can be the severance package.

Going to be more pain (for developers).
We still can look forward to Dragon Age and AC:Shadows not hitting the mark.

A course correction in due haste, I'd hope. I'm not sure where Sony gets the "positivity" surrounding Fairgame$.
Not sure who they are consulting with, but I recall the audience reception to that was just as bad as Concord.

I feel bad for the people that did all the leg work. They were essentially held hostage by a group of zealots. You can't even offer constructive criticism for fear of being labeled a racist or a sexist.

A good point. The successfulness of shows like Hazbin Hotel which stray outside conforming to Modern Audiences(in that sense) demonstrate there is a market beyond those limits. That Cannibal Town song still cracks me up. It's not about any particular consideration, but how it is portrayed.
The exaggerated personas is what I kinda get from this game. It's fighting a phantasm with a phantasm.
The introspective cultural presence of the Inside Out generation can't come soon enough imo.

Before Star Wars was sold to Disney the movies and the extended universe had plenty of strong female role models. Leia, Mon Mothma, Jaina Solo, Mara Jade...all of which were strong and none of which were damsels in distress. Leia strangled Jabba the Hutt with her slave chains for crying out loud. It was a pretty well balanced universe when it comes to equality.
Then Disney takes over and gives it to Kathleen Kennedy and suddenly every male is either a whimpering idiot or a toxic chauvinist who all need women to show them right from wrong.

This one was probably doomed anyway since the characters were hated by the base players that would play this type of game, but certainly couldn't have hurt.
