Breaking: Concord is shutting down on September 6, full refunds. (Update: Servers Now Closed)

- Start date
You not liking something doesn't mean they are mistakes. They are performing better than ever in most areas:
That includes PC (isn't new, Sony has been publishing games on computers since 40 years ago). In recent times year after year they continue growing fast in PC.
Here listed as 'other software', there are their 1st party games in non-PS platforms (so including non-PS consoles) generating more than the double of the revenue than they did the same quarter in the previous fiscal year:
It can also be seen there that this 'other software' segment now is generating more revenue than the 'physical software' units for PS.
These ChatGPT accounts sure like to repeat themselves.
If only they were powered by good AI instead of HS, it would at least be somehow useful.
Nah, their next game is Astro Bot, which several days before release already is in top positions of the Amazon and PlayStation store top grossing charts.
Despite being a smaller project, seems it's going to be super successful. Which combined with the unexpected megasucess of Helldivers 2 will more than compensate the Concord failure.
Astrobot will be great, but investors are not looking for offsetting cost. They were promised Gaa$.
Gaas can work but for it to work the game has to have very strong world and character designs it also has to be front loaded with content and a constant amount of updates and dlc. Players have to be invested from day one. I do wonder if something like killzone would work as an open world looter shooter.
After your last few posts, you need to tread very lightly.
Do not do that again!

Don't quote my comments with corporate propaganda
Too busy enjoying PS exclusives to be a cry baby over a platform that's in a constant cycle of port begging for our 2 - 3 year old left overs
If anyone remembers, 2017 saw the release of Lawbreakers, a hero shooter released by CliffyB, a man with a brutal shooter resume in the form of Unreal and Gears of War, also with very good and polished gameplay.
The game barely got 7,000 players in Beta and dropped to 3,000 on release. It was shut down very quickly.

As much as I hate that people get fired, I'd be wary about simply repurposing Firewalk as it is formed right now.
There are reports about the studio adopting a toxic culture. Massive bombs like Concord don't happen all of a sudden in a well functioning studio. There was a whole pipeline of decision makers that approved the pronouns on robots and the character designs. Another that approved the convoluted characters boosts and perks, another that approved the completely derivative match modes, another that highlighted all the spending in those CGI clips that would bring next to nothing to adoption, etc. etc.
Sony's higher-ups can't just keep sending Firewalk their paychecks and make them do stuff with lesser responsibility. Not after such a massive failure that is going to strain the whole company's quarterly and then yearly results.
The higher-ups have a fiduciary duty, and shareholders will claim their heads if they don't do anything about what just happened with this game.
You misunderstand.
I'm not saying there's no interest in the game because people are complaining. I'm saying there's no interest in the game because people aren't playing it. Most of those who bought it weren't touching it a week after release.
People complaining would mean people still care about it. The opposite of love isn't hatred, it's indifference.
I just came from Gamestop and the guy was taking all the Concord cases and bringing them near the cashier. The amount of money Sony will lose with all the logistics of canceling/refunding and shipping back these boxes 
I hope Fairgames$ is digital only

MMM no... No need to port beg. Since 2020 We know that those games are coming. If not, we will those games into our platform like Bloodborne.
The heart of the matter is that fanboys are butthurt since Horizon Zero Dawn was announced for PC more than 4 years ago. Because you have less and less ammo for the platform war. Each port feels like twisting a knife deep down.
And now you see the PC Boogeyman everywhere... This game was trash. End of the story. The same thing will happen to fairgame$
Both console and PC audiences rejected this POS and I applaud them for that.

Okay let me clarify y'all Port wishlist for 2 - 3 years... Is that better for you?
Not so convinced Fairgames will bomb (because the right game at the right time wins) … but … these games are indeed bombing because they’re wokeshit. The Olympics pretty much marked the point where consumers got fed up. There will be plenty of denial about that being the case but it definitely is.
Hopefully Sony looks at Concord, looks at Helldivers success and makes note of the obvious…
I hate PC ports, but unfortunately, day one is coming and they won't beg for any port.Okay let me clarify y'all Port wishlist for 2 - 3 years... Is that better for you?
