The crazy designer bitch had HR enforcing that people refer to her as 'professor' (despite not having a doctorate in anything), How are you going to wrangle the creatives if they are using their political status to manipulate corporate.

How many times has this happened so far?

If we don't limit ourselves to hero shooters, I can think of the following dead high-profile live service games:
  • Battleborn
  • Evolve
  • Lawbreakers
  • Radical Heights
  • The Culling 2
  • Anthem
  • Square Enix's Disney's Marvel's Avengers
  • The Crew
  • Babylon's Fall
  • Crucible
  • Hyenas
  • Redfall
  • Concord
There are also these which are technically still operational but may as well be dead:
  • Skull And Bones (870 player 24-hour peak)
  • Back 4 Blood (2,000 player 24-hour peak)
  • Suicide Squad (97 player 24-hour peak LMAO)
  • Bleeding Edge (2 player 24-hour peak)
I feel like I'm missing some but that's a pretty big bodycount for a genre that's only technically existed for a decade.

So much for Amanda Kiefer as senior concept artist for Firewalk / Concord.

This woman has a weird obsession with making female characters look like troons. Or maybe she's just bad at drawing faces.

ETA: Remembered another one.

Your post shows another point - there are too many games in general, let alone hero shooters. Who has the time to make play all these games anymore? Finding good games anymore involves searching beneath heaps of shit like what you listed.
 
Woke was a factor, but woke, ugly, and unappealing gameplay made a perfect storm here.

Overwatch way very diverse, but coomers don't care. This couldn't even get the coomers to care.

And it's further exacerbated by the fact that no modern company is content with having some of the pie, they want it all.

Cliff Blezinski famously said there is room for 2 or 3 major players in any given genre, and the rest will fight for the scraps. I think he was broadly correct, and that that's absolutely fine: if these studios adjusted expectations/budgets accordingly things like Concord could be decent little earners that serve a niche despite never really blowing up, but instead they all have to be Overwatch or Destiny or Fortnite which would be unrealistic even if Concord was a 10/10 game.

Steam and Epic Game Store Concord purchasers are being refunded too, although I did hear about some people not getting refunds, because they purchased the game from 3rd-party CD Key sites.

Anyone who bought this tardshit at all deserves to lose their money, but anyone who did it by sketchy nonrefundable means super deserves it.

Imagine buying a game so shit it dies in less than two weeks to the point the studio has to crawl on their hands and knees refunding everyone, but you bought it like a tard from some sketchy jeet instead of just pirating it.

Imagine being this dumbfuck retard praising a game and blaming people who didn't play it when none of the people it was pandering to bought it either. They'd never have bought it. But the "chuds" they openly despise should have just mindlessly consoomed this shit.

Why does every hero shooter takes place in some faggy colorful future, with quirky robots and people with prosthetic limbs? I don't know how people who play these games can tell them apart.

That's how it's always worked because Steam doesn't charge anyone for keys sold though a 3rd party. They already let users redeem those keys and download the games off Steam servers using Steam bandwidth at a complete loss to themselves, they sure aren't going to be left holding the bag while they try to get back the money you maybe gave someone else from them.

The same reason every 7th gen FPS copied Modern Warfare/Halo and every 3rd person shooter became a cover shooter after Gears.

Every hero shooter wants to be Overwatch because Overwatch is what people think of when they think of hero shooters.

Everything these days is all so goddamn ugly and hard to see.

I guess there's only one thing to look forward to playing now.

in-game on Steam just means that the .exe is running. Can also be spoofed so you are "in-game" but not waste resources on having a bloated game running. I imagine having a recently dead meme game shown as being played rn on your profile is done as a joke by the 11 people.

Of course they still have to own the game, so the joke's on them.

Pour one out for the 11 who ACK'd at their machines when pronouns couldn't push copies of their bland game.

Their use of this old-school Quake/Unreal-era term gives me the slightest hope that at the very least it could be mechanically interesting, but who knows.

Because overwatch and apex do it (and to an extent fortnite but that is another story).
It contrasts with your super serious bro esports stuff like CSGO.

Watching this video, I can now see some logic and reasoning behind the character designs, especially the armored mini gun chick. It’s tainted with the pretense of realism, like I could hear some dangerhair arguing “Well, she needs that heavy puffy-looking armor to protect from space lasers.”

But logic, reasoning, and realism only make a good game if that game is an autistic map simulator of the Bronze Age Collapse. Ffs, the most well-recognized video game of all time is about a plumber who jumps on sentient Italians mushrooms and turtles on his way to rescue a princess from a fire-breathing, bipedal Ankylosaurus.

I've come to hate even the word realism when it comes to media in modern times. Not just over how selectively it's applied, but the entire concept in fiction and especially fantasy. Along with "dark and gritty" so often invoked in its name.

The setting, at least in general terms, is the only thing i don't have a problem with in these types of games. It's a nice change from the normal modern western futuristic nihilism, "realism", gritty, dark and or dystopian slop that pretty much dominates future and space scifi these days. I mean at least cyberpunk had style and imagination.. now it's just all pessimism, no imagination.

I got curious and looked up upcoming hero/extraction shooter goyslop to see what funny upcoming flops I can look forward to.

One caught my eye being Fragpunk which basically looks like Concord if the designs weren't fucking hideous and it actually mixes up some hero shooter shit in an interesting way. Going off my luck it will be a game I love, flops, and dies despite being leagues better than the competition just like Gigantic. Even the nigger character looks decent in that he looks like a Boondocks character

I’m rather late for this, and I can’t quote @Asian tech support, but a couple of the Apex Legends designs are awful. Even looked into the Fragpunk designs and most of them are fine, like these two

Yet there’s something generic about them. I don’t know what it is, if it’s studios ripping each other off or this weird “many details on semi-realistic bodies with sort of cartoony faces” aesthetic. I just think part of the problem with hero shooters is that they all look the same. At least Valve is lending some of TF2 and Portal’s design philosophies to Deadlock.

They’re rather toned down despite being cartoony and having a 20’s gangster theme. Some designs have that bland or over designed tinge to them. I can tolerate them more than Apex’s because they’re not “annoying.”

I too think Apex is gay.
