    How weird is it that there are people who liked Concord so much that they spent all of their time and money to get something patched together just so they could play it again.

    Didn’t it overwhelmingly bomb and had like no players towards the end?

    Anyways good for them and screw Sony lawyers.

      IIRC, it wasn’t a terrible game. It just wasn’t a unique enough game to compete in the space. Just another hero shooter. Just another live service. And thus it failed to meet overinflated expectations. Sony didn’t give it any time to grow or adapt.

      Sony went all in on live service games, expecting them to all do gangbusters and to do so for forever. Their high expectations are slipping and failing to be met with Destiny. They bought Bungie for live service games too.

      Oh, and Marathon. That one is in a precarious spot. Being delayed after an unexpectedly rough public beta.

      Sony seemed to want it to fail. Reviewers only got their hands on it shortly before release. Most didn’t like it. Marvel Rivals was dropping soon. It was doomed.
