Every MMORPG that wanted to kill WoW when MMOs were big for example.
First failed at being a subscription model, then failed to be a free 2 play alternative.

There are like 5 very big ones in that genre alone.
Warhammer, Star Wars, LotRo, Wildstars, Conan, etc.

Wildstar. Man, I swear that one seem to had lot of hype for it too if I remember correctly

Why are these Concord people so obsessed with backends? It just never stops. I can't believe Sony is letting Herman spend half a billi on this shit.

Sony completely lost the plot this gen.. their luck is that their direct competition stupid tactics was "lets teach or players to not buy games, change quality for quantity and try to bypass regulations to buy the whole industry" MS really fucked everything up no competing properly.

Chances are they played around with the idea for a bit, then someone decided that they had nothing worth going forward.

They were probably testing some ideas for the pitch to Sony how to salvage this and that pitch didn't went well

Yeah, I was also in the camp saying that Concord won't come back as I didn't felt it had something that could make it sustainable for a long run. But considering the studio wasn't closed right after the game's shutdown implied these devs employed there had to do something. Those who remained there were probably exploring options and nothing came out of it

Nah the Steam updates were real, you can see all of them on SteamDB, it's publicly available.

So they were still working on it right up until Sony did the right thing and pulled the plug on them. The fact that they thought it was a good idea to continue to revive this corpse probably accelerated their closure.
