Concord Shut Down by PlayStation And Sends Full Refunds

Concord has been shut down by PlayStation and full refunds have been issued.

Previously: Concord from Firewalk Studios has been released and it is a failure. The game simply does not have a lot of players and that usually spells disaster for something that spent 8 years in development. The Concord game stream charts are lower than titles like Gollum, Suicide Squad, or even older games like where Half-Life Alyx sits today and Alyx requires a VR headset to play.

Would you have played Concord if it was free? Let me know!

"are you just in an echo chamber"

Yes, that is ABSOLUTELY the answer. And that is the same thing for Dustborn. They made both of those for each other and the people on Twitter that agree with everything they say and don't criticize each other on anything because they don't want to hurt each others feelings.

They essentially tried to sell Taco Bell in Mexico.

Why would anyone go out of their way to buy a bland knock-off product when they already have the real thing, at home for free?

[brianestrada]

They are in a echo chamber since the devs insulted the customers by calling us talentless freaks.

[JohnM]

They made a game for a modern audience of 500 people and all 500 of them bought it 😅

[praetorian]

These budgets need to be cut down considerably as well.

[JackDaniel]

I can’t believe the series S would do this 😢

Sony fan boys kept saying "another Redfall" after every Xbox showcase, then Sony actually beats Microsoft for worst game ever made.

That's actually impressive levels of irony.

How did IGN give this game a 7 after giving Alien Isolation a 6?

[COUNTVLAIDMIR]

Destin, we don't care if devs cry about games flopping. They only have themselves to blame.

I've had milk last longer than concord

[davidgonzales]

Concord was a mistake, in every conceivable way. After the trailer came out, NO ONE wanted this. Corporate Cope is next level sometimes

[TimothyPhoeniX]

Major issue in the industry is that it's targeting an audience they would like to have, instead of who is available.

[ncasale]

This is absolutely a win. This is the only thing that the suits understand. Its taking a very long time, but the only hope that game publishers will once again make games for gamers will come from calamities like this with Concord.

[krazydnut]

no way it sold 25k, Sony likes counting shipped copys to retailer.

Concord died faster than Joel's daughter in the last of us

[inamorta-playertwist]

Ita not "You dont identify with any concord character (albeit you might say you are since it was designed with the modern audience to identify themselves). It just that YOU DONT WANT TO PLAY WITH THESE CHARACTERS AS THERE IS NO ATTRACTING CHARACTERISTIC THAT PEOPLE LIKED AT ALL.".

Design characters that will attract people, not identify with them. Thats why design is crucial.

I can't be the only one who thinks it's a little suspicious that Jim Ryan left. Right before all these live service games started coming out from Sony

[ricardojaye]

From what I can understand, Concord was NOT "diverse" in the sense that there appear to be NO cool white characters at all.
This is in stark contrast to Overwatch which appears to have a GENUINE roster of actual diversity.
From what I have seen about certain devs of Concord ...they gone out their way to exclude white characters. Not only that, brush off criticism as "white noise" and there are old posts from certain devs that also appear to be very anti-white.

This gives off a very clear picture that there was an exclusion agenda during the games development. And don't get me started on the whole "professor" thing.
Then there is the "talentless freaks" comment from the former developer.

Sounds like there were a lot of bad apples purposely hired to work on this game. And THAT was the echo chamber.

The got Bungie for their advice on games like this did Bungie look at this and not raise concerns? if they did look at it and greenlit it then if I was Sony I would be concerned about if Bungie knows what they are talking about.
