The 36 people who purchased a physical Concord copy will have a piece of gaming history on their shelf: The first ever tripple-A game that only lasted a couple of weeks!

Anthem: "I'll be that game that flops in legendary proportions"
Concord: "hold my joystick"

[stateofmind]

For years, gamers are shouting for Bloodborne 2, Days Gone 2, a new Splinter Cell game, and so on.
Good singleplayer games, which will sell great, because we, the gamers, the customars who want to pay for that kind of games, want that dearly.

Instead, we get live service game after live service game after live service game, which fail time after time after time.

How hard can it be just to listen to what your customers want...

Satisfy your customers, money guaranteerd.

I still can’t believe we got Concord over something badass like SOCOM. Many of us would love another SOCOM.

As sad as it is for the devs we need more massive failures like Concord to teach the industry they can't copy, paste, and monetize every little thing and expect to succeed.

Another failed live service hero shooter? Who could have guessed..

[just_a_character]

Concord was DOA from day 1. How do us plebes see this coming and execs do not?

[ivandesiigner]

Nah Sony was tripping saying they don't have enough IPs.

[KyoMobius]

Concord physical disc is the new atari E.T.

[Forever_Zero]

Hiroki Totoki saying they don't have enough IPs is the reason a lot of game companies make terrible decisions in a nutshell:
They just don't know videogames.

[djbaghdaddy]

I hope Sony takes Concord's failure as a lesson and switches their focus entirely on amazing single player experiences. They won't, but one can hope.

Not all games need to be a Online Multiplayer Only Cashgrab experience..
Concord is a perfect example of this 😂😂

[shankthenoob]

Fun Fact: Concord was in development for 8 years and budget was around $100 million and it got shut down within 2 weeks.

[NeloAngelo]

I'm willing to bet that while it was live, on any given day, there were more people playing Windows Solitaire than were playing Concord.

[MyUsualComment]

Phil Spencer also said Baldur's Gate 3 would be a B-tier game, so I don't really put too much stock on what he thinks will be successful.

[duane]

Kinda hurts for life time PS players to hear that one of the top guys at sony say they don’t have a cast, when they made a whole smash bros like game for them. Infamous 2 is still my favorite game and I will continue looking up updates every 2 week

[pizzagamecube]

Sony went from shutting down one of, if not the biggest flop in liver service history to releasing the highest rated non Mario 3D platformer of all time in the same exact day.

[Bestwick]

PS Owners for the last 5 years: Give us Bloodborne Remastered!
Sony: Best I can do is Concord

[TheFOGod]

People assume that game execs will take these failures as a lesson. They wont though, the execs will always keep their jobs the devs will get laid off and the execs will just try all over again with another purchased studio. If you have been awake at all in the last 10 years you know this has happened over and over and over again.
