Concord - robots with pronouns

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

Concord was in development for 8 years, Dustborn from what I understand started around 2019. I think the market has already corrected itself, and I don't think we'll ever see super woke media any time soon, unless it's some development hell vomit.

I think it's more a symptom of games having nigh-Infinite Budgets and taking nearly a decade to cook - they're trying to cash in on trends that were popular at the start of development, but with how quickly the cultural zeitgeist moves whatever project is chasing trends will be long since dated by the time it does inevitably release.

That said, rest in piss Concord - may you be the harbinger of a potential Gaming Collapse rerun. They're remaking everything else, might as well remake that...

Concord has officially CUT the cord. Two weeks has to be a new record.

 

[The Cunting Death]

HAHAHAHAHAHA OH WOW

 

[Sand Mega]

Only time when "Two more vveeks" is actually true

 

[Lucas Silva #4903141]

Everybody remembers Lawbreakers, but nobody remembers Cliff Bleszinski's other trend chasing pile of shit, Radical Heights, which lasted a month, still longer than Concord

I do remember that, oddly enough.

Sad and pathetic effort, Cliffy B.
Concord lasted less than this, huh. What the fuck are Sony doing?

 

[Clueless]

what an actual disaster. TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN. EIGHT FUCKING YEARS. i'm honestly more concerned with how much time was wasted on this.

I don't think 2077 actually flopped, pretty sure it skimmed by on preorders. It is actually a very good game under all the launch bugs and they fixed the AI cops, skill trees and stuff a year or so ago. On PC it runs fantastic now and the world has so much verticality and depth it's nuts.

If you ask me they really got fucked by console release contracts and last gen compatibility. If CDPR had stuck to a PC launch out of the gate it wouldn't be on this list at all. At this point the game rivals GTA/Red Dead in both scope and polish.

I agree. 2077 is a damn fine game and the only two reasons its launch was such a disaster comes down to: shareholders were greedy kikes and wanted it released sooner than it was ready, and the existence of last-gen PS4 and Xbox One versions which severely gimped the game and needlessly limited it. Should've waited an extra year and released solely on PC and current-gen. Even now, games are releasing PS4 and Xbox One versions and the consoles are 11 years old, it's ridiculous.

Clown farmers out in full force

I admit, I'm one of the people who have been farming clowns all week. The place is a goldmine.

 

[Scarthew]

To be fair all of those games lasted longer than this shite before shutting down. At least, even the Culling 2 didn't cost 200 mil

more going on failed hero shooters, not games in general. Also did you misquote me? I didn't say evolve...

 

[Hooked on phobics]

ANNNND they just removed it from steam store from being sold JUST NOW. RIPPERONI

 

[bird enemy car]

RIP to all the characters like “Not-Groot”, “Regular Guy”, and “Fat”.

they knew well that they had to contain his power before he reached critical mass and left concordillions dead. a tragedy all around, rip sweet prince

 

[Chris Redfield]

This is hilarious because fuck this game but also, I think, is such a weird and disturbing thing about the game industry - a game can appear and disappear just like that.

It's very reminiscent of the game crash in the 80s with ET being shoved into a landfill. Except, this is online isn't it? So the game will be unplayable entirely, even if pulled out of the landfill.

Not that I'd care to ever play it but it's something I find a little sad about the industry. Games are almost made to fail, it's embarrassing.

 

[I Know 孤独のせい]

Early Christmas it is. Never seen something like this. Curious to see if even the supposed 25K units sold were wrong and the game sold even worse than that.

Even Gollum and Kong Skull Island had longer lifespans.
The money is now on Dustborn to see if it can survive the longest.

 

[an_ameri]

Wow. That was quick. I expected this to be like suicide squad where there's like hundred people still playing it and Sony/WB are stubbornly still keeping the servers going and funding content for some unknown reason.

Generally the reason companies keep the servers online/release content despite having no player base is due to their enhanced editions promising content. Suicide squad sold an enhanced edition with the promise of 4 seasons worth of extra content bundled in, and if they dont't deliver that they risk getting sued. Seems Sony either didn't have such obligations, or a potential lawsuit would be cheaper than keeping the lights on. Hell, even Redfall got the promised DLC before getting put in maintenance mode.

All the SJWs on Steam:

"Ugh you guys have too much time to actually compile data about this!",
"How do you have so much time to care about this?"
"Why are your wasting time writing this?"

Nigga you are on a video game board, don't talk to me about wasting time. Cope. Seethe.

 

[anti SJW]

Lawbreakers, battleborn, comcord, hell even overwatch, is valve next?

Dustborn is next.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

Wow. Just wow. At least I get my money back. Gameplay was decent fun but I was expecting them to at least reach the end of the roadmap they showed off.

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

Concord has officially CUT the cord. Two weeks has to be a new record.

What was the name of that PUBG clone sequel that was so bad they closed it and went back to the original game? Think that had a shorter lifespan, but doesn't make this situation any less crazy.

 

[GamerGateSurvivor]

I was going to make a joke about this being one of the four horsemen of the upcoming gaming crash. But the best I could come up with was "On a pale white horse, I saw ugly fat dyke with gender pronouns" and that could describe every video game released over the last five years.
