They will become a support studio helping to speed up development of other games.
Agree 1000%!Fire all woke/DEI nut jobs. I figure just doing that would fix most problems the industry is facing right now.
I think layoffs. Sony bought them for Concord right. I hope they have a good idea to pitch.
"what if we made Guardians of the Galaxy but a MOBA"
They probably hate Christmas anyway.A studio closure at Christmas time seems like a win to me.
no, they weren't they were a tiny studio and 8 years ago it was just an idea, they didnt start full development until 4 years ago.They took 8 years to make Concord, they can't speed up shit.
Firewalk is comprised of deranged woke managers and "yes, man" types, who will agree with whatever bullshit from the former. No talented worker would settle for this.
So, Firewalk is a studio with a rotten culture full of rotten employees. Sony should not let the rot spread to other studios.
Half of those years were spent redesigning the game thanks to the DEI consultants.They took 8 years to make Concord, they can't speed up shit.

Why on earth would you want thatConcord 2 would work for me.

I enjoyed its releaseWhy on earth would you want that
And what mechanism did the alt-right employ to prevent the other 7,999,975,000 people on earth from buying it?Sony isn't stupid. They can see that Concord's performance was the result of an alt-right hate campaign and not an indictment of the game itself. I think the most likely outcome is for them to fund another, more indie project from Firewalk - more of a "test" in the $100m range, I'd guess - to evaluate whether it makes sense to fund more big projects from the studio.
See them fail again? I had a total blast reading all the Concord threads.Why on earth would you want that
Nahhh, companies care about profits above all else. Once it's clear the 'modern audience' they've been chasing doesn't really exist, they will go back to games that actually pull in the $$This is both hilarious and scary because it actually could happen. So many individuals and groups blaming gamers for not buying their agenda driven products.
I could see ultra woke companies like MS or Sony doubling down.
If the woke rot is deeply entrenched within senior management, it will continue.

Closure announced right around fiscal year reports. Word of layoffs months prior. Some staff relocated to other Sony studios. Concord will never be mentioned by Sony again.
This.Take the few talented people and kick out the others, don't even offer them to other studios, i don't want tsushima 2 to have fat, gender-fluid samurai.
