PlayStation's Concord is Officially DEAD!

Concord for PS5 has officially been delisted and refunds are being issued to everyone who purchased it. Concord marks the largest failure in the history of PlayStation first party exclusives and demonstrates once again that woke video games are being rejected by the greater audience. Not to mention hero shooters are a dime a dozen and when your competition is free to play games like Overwatch 2 & Marvel Rivals, a game like concord that appeals to absolutely no one is doomed to fail.

Algorithm Stuff:
PlayStation's newest first party exclusive game Concord for PS5 and PC is easily one of the worst multiplayer shooters I have played in quite some time. In fact saying Concord is Bad or Concord Sucks barely scratches the surface. What at first looks like an uninspired Overwatch clone is an equally dull and boring experience that feels not only significantly slower than Overwatch, but completely soulless as well. In addition the Beta for the PC version of the game on steam was completely broken and would not start for more than 3 seconds before completely crashing over and over again. If this is the vision PlayStation had for live service titles under Jim Ryan it is a good thing that the PlayStation Division at Sony has new leadership...

You have to be an indie studio to scrape the bottom of the barrel of leftover players. Concord was too expensive, and it’s only more money wasted to continue adding more to it. It’s a smart move to pull it down.

There is some positivity, is that it goes offline the day Astro Bot arrives. This is the biggest failure from Sony without question, even redfall lasted so that’s embarrassing.

If they aren't immediately switching over to free-to-play after issuing the refunds, then they'll either go back to the drawing board and attempt to Realm-Reborn it, or kill it and close down the studio by merging it back into Bungie.

The final verdict is to terminate the live service game. Sony will have to issue full refund to everyone otherwise they can be sued. Put up a live service game for 2 weeks and close is down will be considered a scam.

[@alexkogan9755]

Babylon’s Fall lasted longer than Concord. And that game shouldn’t have been a live service title.

Finally I'm not late for a historical moment. A piece of "entertainment" (hey, it is generally in this category) costing so much, expected to run for some time and failing so hard it dies in a week.

If I was in charge: I would change all of the flat, genderless characters to hot, sweaty barely-clad girls in ripped bikinis, pigtails, shit like that. Remake the levels to include more death/horror/gore/satan/zombies. Crank up the weapons to include rocket launchers, miniguns and molotovs. Throw in a lot of cursing, drinking, black comedy, off the wall sex jokes. And yeah make it free to play with a flat $20 fee for every extra piece of dlc that will be released then and in the future (in the form of a season pass). Re-release it as Concord 2: The Resurrection and swim in the salty tears of my woke, gender-fluid enemies.

If this game comes back and gets a big push from sympathetic games media, and Sony doesn't shut this studio down, it will show a clear bias, internally and externally.
