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

[BillyZ]

They didn't even give him a chance to turn f2p lol. Will Sony learn anything from that or will it repeat that same mistake with Fairgame?

So we released this joke of a game but would you play it if it was free?
Not even worth it.

 

[Vertigo]

Even if they were to repackage as f2p it seems this refund process would still be needed. No players means the game is broken. I mean… paragon relaunched as predecessor years later.

This is an embarrassing situation tho. Sony may just sweep it under the rug like it never existed and try not to repeat similar mistakes.

Maybe I would play if it was free, but I would obviously uninstall minutes later

And the funniest thing is that GoW Ragnarok will be released on PC later this month, and certainly it will sell at least 100 times more than Concord, and this will make it even more explicit how Sony missed the point

I think you and I have very different definitions of what "selling well" means

Outside of HD2, the PC numbers compared to PS numbers for the games is far behind

just look at the steam metric for their games

3rd person cinematic games don’t sell well on steam

Ratchet and Clank, God of War. While not PS numbers, did quite well.

Argument null and voided.

And the rest?

 

[Shmunter]

All those single player games likely got huge numbers on pc, for free. It’s too easy.

 

[Monkeyclaw]

And the rest?

These are just 2 examples. Do your own damn research if you really want to know.
Ok ill give you one more. HELLDIVERS 2

Still now after a couple of months has a ccu count of x316 against Concords ccu. Let that sink in. 316!!!

This says something about both games. The 1 did extremely well and the other is a shitstain. Both Sony titles.

God of War is one IP which even PC players savor, I agree with the rest of their IPs not selling well on PC but GoW is a different beast altogether.

Far behind doesn't mean its bad by any means. Of course PS games will sell way better on the native platform then on any other offered platform.

Thinking these would have to be equal to gauge it's success on PC is just plain asinine.

Yea, silly for sure. Nobody is arguing PS games are going to sell as well or better on PC than they do on PS. That is a strawman. The point is...they are selling. And it's apparently enough copies for Sony to continue on and even double down on this strategy.

I almost gave up hope but then this comment came along. Thank you good sir!

This logic "game X sold less than game Y, so game X is a flop" makes no sense

RDR2? Black Myth Wukong? Life Strange? GTA V?
