After watching this, I better not all of sudden start getting Nazi shit in my recommended feed

You won't.

 

[Tams]

Hopefully the game can find some success

 

[Bashtee]

Yeah, that game is dead. Probably trouble finding lobbies for the matchmaking unless they have bots to fill up.

Yeesh.

 

[GymWolf]

Live footage at Firewalk...

They don't have enough budget left for a real ostrich anymore, at best they can use this one

 

[GymWolf]

Good riddance.

Serves them right for chasing this live service trash.

Shouldve made a fucking SOCOM game with single player in it, you'd be laughing to the bank right now - Instead you chose to make a generic hero shooter and now you are in danger of fgoing out of business. Lmao.

You have some clearly talented individuals at your studio, you better pitch a proper SOCOM game real quick.

This boils down to lack of ambition. Lets make another hero shooter. Yay. Lol.

I mean socom is super generic aswell, third person military shooter, how original...

If you really want some war game then they should revive kz2 instead, 4k60 campaign and multiplayer.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Would Sony allow this to go on GamePass and would MS even want it even if they gave it away for free?

Not sure but if a game completely bombs, the most people available to sucker into buying MTX, the better.

 

[West Texas CEO]

I blame Thabass

 

[asdasdasdbb]

You won't.

OT but for Youtube links I almost always use Porn Mode.

 

[Goalus]

Same vibes but key difference is one is a girl... another is a man attempting to be a female.

They (the person in the upper picture) are also a professor.

This year's biggest disappointments award has some real good competition.

Wouldn't "disappointment" mean that someone had expectations on Concord in the first place?

 

[Thabass]

I blame Thabass

LOL what did I do?

 

[West Texas CEO]

LOL what did I do?

Nothing, I'm just messin' around.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Imagine spending eight years of your life making this

Crazy.

At this time in 2016 PS4 Pro wasn’t even out yet. It’d be out soon.

And things like Switch, One X and Game Pass wouldn’t be out till the following year.

Googling it, Nintendo hadn’t even launched their first official switch trailer yet. That would come in October 2016.

Sony sure did.

A professor of what, making gay video games?

 

[DenchDeckard]

I really hope this game wasn't one they were wanting to push the pro with lol.

Pivot all marketing!

 

[Lord Malachite]

As someone who is a PlayStation only gamer who gives a lot of support to Sony, they really deserve this catastrophic failure. The more of these soulless GaaS titles that crash and burn bloating the ledgers of publishers and platform holders with red ink, the better the chance we can get some people in charge of these houses that are willing to say "this isn't working" and return the industry to a more sane business model. Until that happens, we'll continue to be subjected to this garbage on a constant cycle

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Not a chance this sold 10k on steam.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Esteemed mathematician Taul Passi has multiplied two numbers together for us:

 

[Complistic]

Sales are estimated to be 0 actually.

 

[kevboard]

I did not expect them to straight up take it offline tbh.

I expected them to just keep it running until they turned it into a free 2 play model behind the scenes and then release that free 2 play update as a big new season or something.

I expect now that they still will do essentially that, but on maybe even a more elaborate scale, with more changes than just a free 2 play model.

the game needs a signature game mode. Something that stands out, is fun and actually needs team work (which at least in the beta seemed optional in all modes)

it would also not hurt to literally redesign all characters. maybe even replace some of them entirely

Concord has officially sold 0 units.

Just a spectacular failure on all fronts. The bean counters at Sony really fucked up because this should have been canceled over a year ago.

 

[Hookshot]

Was it arrogance, greed or both? The game wasn't well received but they didn't need egg on their face from this. Other companies have cancelled projects but they pushed on and now they've subjected themselves to ridicule and more importantly much more intense scrutiny towards their future games.

They have to be praying that Astro Bot gets 9 and 10's to bounce back quickly and look competent again.

So if I bought the game today out of morbid curiosity, would I get refunded later?

I think it's been taken down so you can't buy it.

mod you can rename my thread title to “Concord sold an estimated 0 unit after Sep 6 (0 on Steam, 0 on PS5)”

8 years, $100M, lasted 2 weeks, 0 sales.

An 8 year old selling lemonade for a dime on a hot sunny day will sell more.

I was working on a game some time ago, put out a demo and got five bucks as donations.

Crazy to think my profits are better than those of AAA first-party game.

 

[Thaedolus]

I like to think I’m pretty dialed into gaming news and the only thing I know about this title is how much it flopped

There's old stodgy products at my company that are so obscure and forgotten, some of the account managers dont even know those products are under their responsibilities until I ask them about it.

Some of this stuff sticks around, never goes on sale, sells poorly, and it's so crusty it hasnt had it's packaging updated in probably 20 or 30 years. It looks like something from the 90s.

Even some of this shit in limited store distribution and store count can sell 1,000s of units on pure luck and oldtimer customers who still know about it.

 

[ArtHands]

their Concord controllers might have generated more profit than the game itself
