Probably. Wukong and Stellar Blade being hits will surely make publishers turn their heads to avoid making more Concord and Star Wars Outlaws.
Kotaku: Concord budget was $200M which did not include marketing, the sale of IP rights or the acquisition of the studio

Colin said it was $400m just for development, not including acquisition and other costs. I don't believe it. I can believe $400m all told though.
Didn't Kotaku claim 400m a month ago? I'm taking click bait articles for $500 with two made up sources. After getting the clicks for the 400m, they now are claiming 200m the same time as the studio shutters. What a coincidence.
If it was greenlit all the way back in 2016-2018, when Overwatch was still relevant then I can understand. But when it became clear that the market was oversaturated, they should have pivoted development to something else.
“That did not include marketing, the sale of IP rights, the acquisition of the studio, or game's delayed launch.”
Deflect deflect deflect. How much does Sony pay you? I'm serious, you need to declare that shit.
Nahh they just had bundles, special controllers and an Amazon special.
Takes 15 seconds in Google to get official budgets and costs.
Colin = The game costed 200 million up until Spring 2023, after that Sony bought the studio and spent another 200 million on the game in one year.
Oh and that 400 million I gave does not include Acquisition costs, just cost for the game itself.
Kotaku = Concord's budget was 200 million overall...
Icon Era low IQ members = Colin was right!!!

Oh we all remember the marketing blitz of Concord.
+80 million dollars for IP rights.
Colin said his 400 million number did not include the purchase of the studio.
+120 million dollars for the mysterious delay.
Some of ya'll are so gullible lol
Concord was 400 million but Firewalk was another 600 million dollars.
The whole thing was easily over 1 billion dollars.
People really do just believe whatever they want to believe. It's hilarious.
I don’t get invested in the numbers stipulated, and have no idea what Colin said. Suffice it to say 200M++ is the blunder of the century.
The Concord IP rights alone was another 200 million on top of the acquisition costs. The marketing was probably 150 million, who knew Playstation twitter posts, a few trailers and a couple youtube adds were so expensive, plus probably another 100 million for the Amazon episode, add on another 100 million for the controllers that are so cheap to make and some sweatshop merch, you're looking at another 50 million.
I think the real budget is around 800 million, can't forget all these devs were making 200k every month
Why does it bother you? Did you make an investment in Firewalk?
Pathetic it has ever been discussed.
It is Sony’s problem not mine.
