If people not playing a game isn't the most objective metric, then what is?
The game was mediocre at best, the price was 100% wrong. It should have been F2P.
If the game got too expensive to produce and this is the reason for the price, they should have re evaluated their choices.

It's interesting, from a business analysis p.o.v., how the same set of variables led to two completely different outcomes. I'm referring to Sega and Hyenas versus Sony and Concord. Sega received the exact same feedback during their beta (low number of players, not particularly appealing to anyone), and decided to shut down the project right before the intended launch date, despite apparently spending (almost) as much on it as Sony did on theirs.

i dont think f2p will help it, didnt it had like 2.3K players in openbeta ?

The majority of people who bought it can't play it anymore, because the refund removed it from their libraries.
The only ones still playing bought 3rd party keys.

I see, that makes sense. It's weird to have some keys active when the majority of them have been revoked.

People who bought it via some 3rd party Kinguin or CDKeys affiliate might not be able to place a refund request.

It was obvious, fish rots starting from the head so everything that was wrong with concord was pushed for and enthusiastically aproved by studio's heads, no matter what the coders/artists/bottom lvl programers wanted to do, thats why its good we voted with our wallets, gotta make sure we hit those excecs where it hurts, their pockets

Yup, especially if that was sold as "Steam Account", not Steam key, then they are probably fucked because the whole thing is shady to begin with.

Concord was the 9/11 of gaming.

I found the article and had a read.
“Economic thinkers like Hasan Piker”
LMAO. This must be satire. The whole site must be satire. There's an article trying to convince white women not to have white babies. Sorry, but I can't believe this website is genuine

Meanwhile, Jon Weisnewski, the lead character designer of Concord, pats himself and the team on the back for releasing the biggest flop in gaming history.
The lack of self reflection and accountability is astonishing.

But ofc, the lead character designer- his job description tells u everything u need to know, guy should never get any other job in the industry after being one of the few ppl who are responsible for concords failure, let capitalism/free market sort him out

I'm sorry, but that website cannot be real. It has articles suggesting white people should pay non white people for "emotional labour", articles on how pictures of groups of white people cause fear, articles encouraging people not to marry and have babies etc.
If that's not satire and people actually have these views then I'm very concerned about the future of humanity.

"The fact we shipped at all is legendary"
Splitgate 1 was made by 2 guys in 6 months with no funding whilst they were at school and then released a demo for user testing with 600,000 downloads.
Concord was funded by ProbablyMonsters for several years who then in turn sold the studio off to Sony, who continued to fund it and then 8 long years later, they release Concord.
Finding it really hard to have any sympathy for a poorly run team if it took them 8 years to make Concord.

TBH most of the time it sounds like a right-winger peddling social darwinism, but in the case of Piker it's someone that is openly heavily left-wing making lots of money and buying a huge mansion like a good capitalist, which is kinda like...left-wingers finally woke up to the reality? Kudos for him for grifting from his simps.

Bye Concord. You won't be missed. Everyone already moved on.

I don't think it's that, it's just that Twitter/social media is "happy times only" environment. People were now taught for decades to "look on the bright side", "focus on the positives", this is just verbal manifestation of these things. This is then augmented by social media who in endless quest for engagement is telling everyone , everyday how "their opinions matter".

What's next is what everyone probably assumes by now. Sony has shut down studios for far less than this.
Every one of the various dev tweets I've seen includes "the road ahead" or "No one knows what's next" which tells me they already know what's coming, if it hasn't already happened and Sony just isn't going to break that news yet.

There is part of western population that thinks u cant be racists against white ppl or discriminate vs men, bro, check some leftists yt channels/mainstream tv, u will be surprised how bad it got last few years, im from eastern europe so it was big culture shock for me too xD

The question is: will heads roll at Sony for this as well?

This is satire my man, he is rage baiting people like PeteBull lmao

what is a ban cooldown? once you return from a ban, there's a certain period where you completely invincible, not even a super mod can touch you?

Passive buff that only unlocks when you have at least 6 bans and 12 warnings

Yeah, its like an invisibility frame in a game.
Same thing if you get released from prison irl, there's a buffer period where laws dont apply to you

We truly have fallen if the author's of these articles are genuine. I spent far too long looking at the articles and some of them were truly shocking.

When I got out of jail I slapped a minor and police couldn't do shit to me
oh I see, so I have to unlock it first , 6 bans and 12 warnings, wow that's a lot of pain!!
so it's like in EldenRing if you get hit and fall, the animation to get back up slowly gives you invincibility even from boss's strongest attack

The banter move here would of course be to immediately ban you.
