Maybe they would have had a better time finding an interested audience if they hadn't created characters that look like Bea Arthur with a mop bucket on her head, or an obese Pajeet he-she who stole some SpEd kid's blue puffy snow coat? I can say with only a small amount of hyperbole that a game with stick figures for characters using stick figure guns would be more interesting than these boring characters.

Hey, Bea Arthur was more visually pleasing than whatever slop Concord's characters. I take offense to that claim.

Hey, I see a manish old lady with iron grey short hair and resting bitch face and I think Bea Arthur. I mean the woman no disrespect, but she has become my template for that kind of woman. You can thank my Autism and growing up when Golden Girls was still new.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I had a feeling that the Concord character designs was made by a Tumblrite art "fixer".

My gut feeling was right, this is some advanced form of physiognomy.

It took me afew minutes to realize who those two were supposed to be. It takes talent to make two teenager girls look like trannies.
 
I know its funny as fuck that $200m got spent on this game but dustborn is so much more funnier due to how on the nose it is with its retardation.

Actually, the fact that they refunded all the sellers after 2 weeks is fucking epic.

I'm sure Sony did it because they knew that the longer they waited to perform this abortion, the harder it would be to claim it as a tax writeoff.
 
Amanda Kiefer, an artist for the game, is speedrunning their own thread due to her brain breaking over the game's failure.

Pooner shill keeps defending Slop Wars while saying "I'm sorry" in between each segment, comments are gold. You would think a pooner would know a thing or two about deals with the devil but it's clearly taken a review code from the French demons.

Ps. The female body language on display is insane, the more heated the pooner gets the more it forgets itself. I feel like a German Shepard spotting terminators and this one reeks of machine oil and metal.

You mean this person with a feminine voice, mannerisms and a round face? Totally a man! See the beard? Check your bigotry and transphobia at the door, bigot!

My bet for why it was cancelled so fast is because the launch sales did not cover the running costs for more than 1 month,
which means it would instantly cost Sony a lot to keep it up since the game had 0 recurrent revenue to cover that.

I would assume that the entire "CONCORD" project, including the dev team, the animated series and the "live service" server infrastructure was pretty expensive to run.
But the only income it generated was from sales. No MTX or Battlepass. No money coming in after the initial sales, which were very low.

So they waited a week to see if this was just some weird collective nightmare, and then the financial department of Sony had a shitflinging aneurism
at the thought of loosing even more (of their own) money on this worthless trash so they just pulled the plug.
Especially if you consider that this financial department probably was nagging the management about this project being an obscenely big sunk-cost-fallacy for the last 6 years at least and now had a 250+ mil <10k players "I TOLD YOU SO" backing them up.

After all, the time of free VC money is (at least temporarily) over which means financial fails actually kinda hurt for the time being,
and Sony cant just easily scam another 250 mil to keep this running for another year out of the gullible retards working at blackrock and co.

Doubly so if this exact money should/could have been spent on 2-3 not entirely worthless games instead, which the PS5 is desperately lacking in general.


Still kinda absurd to think that they would just take this supposed magnum opus of Sony and flush it down the toilet before even waiting if the marketing team can maybe salvage this.
Sales must have really been catastrophically bad for them to have this little faith in the title.

You know, in a sane world, this would serve as the breaking point for this entire AAAAAAAAA gaming design idea.
That whole concept originally came about as it was lower risk to make one giant 100mil+ $ AAAA game instead of 3 smaller AA titles that may or may not find an audience.
But now with these exact big games failing regularly its clearly more risky as you just instantly loose 100% of the investment instead of at least 30% being successful.
Although i think we all know the answer these publishers will see is to just double down on this idea and just try again with 350 mil next time around.

To be fair, i would also loose it if my cushy tugboat job for the last 8 years just got taken away by the uneducated gamer chuds unwillingness to fork over a measly 40 quid.
Also, realizing that the peak of your life was actually what you thought was just the start must be unpleasant. Especially if that peak is Concord. Like ouch.
Still hard to feel sorry for someone so aggressively unlikeable.

There actually was a battlepass and planned mtx coming a month or so after launch. They even tried to gloat and make a point of saying that it wasn't launching with any of that.

Would you be? Or would you be thankful you were able to milk that shit for eight years knowing that in any other set of circumstances, the entire team would have been laid off or reassigned years prior to that point.

Also despite appearing as just a voice and a logo in AC6, ALLMIND has fan art and some rule 34 too. And she doesn't have much personality other than being an AI assistant who is very professional and is up to some stuff in the background. People can endear themselves to a character with very little.

That ALLMIND art is great... at least according to some of my friends who have seen it.

I certainly would never have any personal knowledge of degenerate fan art.

I did an experiment and initially played the video muted, honestly at a quick glance from the face and mannerisms she can pass as a flamboyant gay man. Then I turned on the sound holy shit and it sounds like a woman auditioning to play itchy and scratchy. Did she have fucking Smorky as her voice coach?!
