FIREWALK STUDIOS (CONCORD) BEING SHUT DOWN

S

L

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I WANTED SNOY TO MORBIUS THAT SHIT
HOW COULD HAVE THEY DONE THIS
WHY HAVE THEY DENIED HUMANITY OF THE KINO FLOP IT DESERVED

I am surprised that they wouldn't even attempt a F2P re-launch.

lol

Breaking news? I could've told you that 3 months ago. I should become a precog journalist

oh, so they're fucking PISSED

Wokies lose again

S; but also fuck you, engagement farmer

bazz bros....

and Anon Babble was like "ITS COMING BACK TO PC"

not one person pointed out the designs were dogshit

if the characters looked like NIKKE characters it would have sold millions.

That concord controller is going to be worth billions

I SURE HOPE THE VAs ALL GET A HUGE PAYOUT

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH FUN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THEY RELEASED THE GAME?!?!

I honestly thought that Sony would either have them make a Free to Play version of Concord (or some other project reusing its assets) or send them off to the Horizon mines before shutting them down completely.

Nigga they wasted 400 million dollars what did you expect Sony to do?

It's been a rough fucking Q4 for deislop.

guillotine the devs at high noon

yeah like stellar blade lol

Sad. I wanted the rerelease to fail again

The designer for Concord probably affected world events more than anyone here could ever dream of. He got all his coworkers to lose their jobs, he made execs hate designs for modern audiences, and he wasted 400 million dollars of Sony's money

$400m down the drain. Was there no pushback from anyone this was a bad idea for a game? Unlikable characters except for a fucking trash can, mediocre gameplay, and charging money for a fucking hero shooter when nobody else does

Kevin R Nash moment

Grummz lost btw
Don't get too excited you fucking virgins

All according to keikaku

After much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.I want to thank all of Firewalk for their craftsmanship, creative spirit and dedication.

craftsMANship

Hulst confirmed for chud

BAZZCHADS WHAT WILL WE DO????

That game sold good

you mean the game that also got boycotted over censorship, had the ps5 exclusive debuff, and still sold well for it's budget?

didn’t they also buy this studio? these suits are just throwing millions in the firepit

AAAAAAHAHAHAHA

Regarding Firewalk, as announced in early September (An Important Update on Concord), certain aspects of Concord were exceptional, but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options.

Why would you EVER sell your studio to a soulless publisher?

Should I buy the Concord controller bros? I feel like this might become a collector's item

go woke get your studio closed down and fired

They'd have gotten fired if they did.

woke devs got paid $400 million

Larry just prints more money and throws it at other studios

chuddies pay for the games through inflation

This is not the "win" you think it is.

$200M

$800M

But I was assured Concord was coming back f2p after there was a random Steamdb update.

It's a pretty sleek design considering the source material

post your face when you learned Hope is alive!

If they did they would be on a shit list, plus it probably wasn't worth pointing out since the devs knew the game was DOA.

Its bazzover

exclusive

1 million sales

niche game aimed at coomers and weebs

Sold more than bloodborne at release

concord sisters its over..

I broke my chair from excitement xD
Fuck it was worth it

I thought Sony was going to re-release Concord as a F2P game like they did with Morbius, maybe one their dumb executives had a moment of clarity and noticed that doing this would only lose them more money.

How many Sony live service games have flopped now

Doesn't matter, Dragon Age will sell 10 million copies. Chuds lost

Does this mean Herman Hulst is getting fired?

It actually looks pretty good. It looks more like a Starfield controller than a Concord one though, honestly.

I will now play your game.

They already got tricked into Morbius'ing Morbius. Can't fool Sony twice.

Please don't do anything you're gonna regret tonight
Sometimes you just lose, that's life
Be safe

permanently sunset the game and close the studio.

permanently sunset the game and close the studio.

permanently sunset the game and close the studio.

No, the game failed for many reasons, designs among them

Yeah me too. I was almost certain they would try that later on. I guess it was even bigger bomb then than anyone assumed.

It would be much weirder if they didn't, they've shut down studios for much lesser reasons than this and at least this is a studio that deserves it. Obviously Sony is to blame themselves for allowing the game to be made and probably enforced many decisions themselves, but clearly the studio itself was rotten as well

good designs can cover mediocre gameplay

see: overwatch (spam ults at cap point to win)

wonder how much they lost trying to wrangle the game into a f2p title in the last month

We will take the lessons learned from Concord and continue to advance our live service capabilities to deliver future growth in this area.

Continue to advance our live services capabilities

i'm sure it made the people that got the payout very happy. i'd do it.

CHUDDY ROCKERS IN THE HOUSE TONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

point out designs are shit

get referred to HR and reported to the police

can't trust the wokies

I hope you chuds are happy.

Gamers show they only want games with insane microtransactions...

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Not on PC because we have choices, but on faggotstation? Absolutely.

Realign the star or david

It says something when trannies actually live longer than this

The jewish guy who designed the characters that tanked the game will jump ship to another AAA studio.
Everyone else will be fucked.

Lmao, I can't wait for the game to come out and peak at maybe 5-10k concurrent players.

lol

Neon Koi/Savage Game Studios too. They didn't even make anything

I'd rather press S to shit

goyim deserve the jews they get

We will take the lessons learned from Concord and continue to advance our live service capabilities

continue to advance our live service capabilities

You learned absolutely no lesson.

Instead of keeping their chin up and sticking to their guns of making it a f2p game, they gave up and closed the studio.
They lost, they gave up, they are admitting they lost due to trying to push wokeslop.
Announcing this out loud to the rest of the vidya industry is a much bigger "chud" win than you think.

Wow. Im actually happy about a studio being shut down.

Buy studio

One year later, close it down

Why does it keep happening? And not just with Sony, Microsoft too. Don't buy them if you're just gonna toss them in the bin a year later.

will big publishers learn a lesson from this or will they keep trying to shit out more live-service shooters

THEY COULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT F2P IT WAS SO SHIT HAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHA

file.png - 742x776, 79.43K

try for F2P conversion

I think that was a 30 minute conversation and they decided against it after seeing how much it would cost to retrofit the entire game to accommodate that kind of system. The UI work alone would've taken months.

No, I think Sony has most been doing the due diligence on having the lawyers and HR just get ready to fire people, reclaim hardware, and close the office.

I am, yes. 2024 has been a goldmine of woke flops.

A sad day for Bazzheads (all twelve of them)

CONCORD was shut down. The breaking news here is that the studio is going out with it.

What does this mean for /ourgirl/ Bazz?

$400 MILLION

only piss5 exclusive anyone ever liked and not artificially propped by amerishart bloggers on literal gay agendas and still on anyone's mind (yours especially) for longer than a month

Gooks won.

rest in power bazz kweens

Any pushback was apparently met with threats of being fired for "toxicity".

Did nothing

Won

What is this strategy called?

stop kicking people while they're down Anon Babble, it's disgusting

Would be absolutely fucking hilarious if it turned out that was his plan the whole time. Troons do the same shit and ruin game studios, reverse uno would be kek worthy

But troons told me concord would have a re-release

You could copy paste the women out of any random gachaslop and the game sells.

No no no no it was coming back,what happened?
bazbros...........

Oh no anon, they spent 400 million JUST ON THE GAME. They also BOUGHT THE STUDIO. JUST TO MAKE THE GAME.

Not as much as the number of live service games which will flop in the future. Sony still has a bunch of games in the pipeline they had already planned during their liveservice funding craze a few years ago. They cancelled a bunch along the way but they are still hoping one of them will be successful enough to recoup their losses. Considering all the games in question are concord-level, I very much doubt that's going to happen.

Game industry is infested with toxic positivity. The teams working on the game will all be positive because they don't want to get canned. The managers in charge will give positive feedback because they dont want the creatives to whine and cry to HR. The feedback groups give positive feedback because they want to be brought back. The journos give positive feedback because they are afraid of missing out on review copies. The execs give positive feedback because they dont actually care about the game and will listen to analysts who say xyz is a good thing(because they also don't want to be canned).
They need more new blood from outside the industry in management roles that are willing to tell people that what they are working on is garbage and scrap it early before it becomes a boondoggle ala hyenas and concord.

no one gives a fuck, they just looped them in to save face

I think that was a 30 minute conversation

steamdb tracked constant updates to the game for almost since the game released and closed until 2 days ago or so

400m is the studio purchase + the dev costs

Bazz died on her way returning to her home planet.

Luigiing.

..b.b.but those Steam depot updates!

xisters! I'm gonna

I'm gonna

ACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

K for Kosher.

How many copies do you think it sold? Like a few thousand?

I did that. Me!

Who has killed more studios, DEI money or EA Games?

The flop of Concord has nothing to do with so-called “wokeness” and everything to do with execution and market fit. Look at games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Metaphor: ReFantazio—both are deeply inclusive, embracing progressive themes, diverse characters, and thoughtful representation, yet they’ve thrived critically and commercially. Baldur’s Gate 3, in particular, has been a massive success for Larian Studios, celebrated for its character depth, inclusivity, and complex storylines, which have brought in players from all backgrounds.

Must have been some serious coping.

Next one on the list: BioWare.

I know he was probably shit posting, but there was on faggot on here that was still smug and going on about how it’d make a comeback. On the off chance he wasn’t just trolling and on the even smaller off chance he reads this (he was in all the concord topics) I hope he kills himself.

lol this was obvious. the best way to handle it would be to fire all the lead designers and directors. move the programmers to a new subdivision under some other company name.

mfw I get my whole studio shut down

They need to scale down studios is what’s really needed

get fucked
my only regret is "only" being able to kick you while you are down instead of stoning you to death

Oh shit I'm GAABING OUT

we will take the lessons learned from concord

kek no they won't
fairgame$ is evidence that they aren't going to do anything different

Bazz!

bazz!.gif - 640x360, 183.32K

That doesn't mean anything, though.

Could just as easily have been Sony keeping Firewalk busy with busywork since the flop since they were paying their salaries anyway.

It sold zero copies in the end because they gave automated refunds on Steam and Playstation.

Instead of keeping their chin up and sticking to their guns of making it a f2p game, they gave up and closed the studio.

There's almost certainly going to be tax fuckery following all this. No matter what they would have ended up doing with Concord, none of it would have made back as much money than just marking the whole studio down as a loss and getting a big write off from it.

If only they could return to form...

Did they even make anything?

lolno, the devs accidentally admitted 400m is just the dev costs, it didn't include the studio purchase or the marketing

Dont forget about the Concord episode on that Amazon series.

They really thought this shit was going to be the next Overwatch, didnt they?

You're laughing. The clown slipped on a banana peel, and you're laughing.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SICK FUCKS ARE CELEBRATING THIS GREAT STUDIO BEING CLOSED REAL PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS!

You’re not wrong, people will put up with a lot of shit if the game is good. Concord wasn’t just woke but it actually just sucked as a game too

I like how you only need the photo to know

nikke is unique gachaslop because the designs are consistently top tier.

thing fail

i can't laugh at it

kek

Sony canceled the game and refunded everyone so it's a complete wash.

I truly thought they'd revive it as f2p. The fuck happened?

Will 2025 be a year of flops too or will things calm down?

I can't findnit in me to celebrate when whatever takes their place will talk Sony into making more woke garbage but using a different pitch to make them think itll work this time.

because if they could, they'd get the whole team on the parking lot, in front of a firing squad

They really thought this shit was going to be the next Overwatch, didnt they?

worse, they legitimately thought it was going to be as big as star wars on it's prime

Concord may have SHITTED and FLOPPED
but chuds WILL NEVER forget our queen Bazz.

How do we put Bazz in game preservation? Now he needs to go back to working at Amazon. Or worse, sell crack

rip bazz

spend $400m to aquire studio

bank roll studio for a few more years until the game is finished

don't make a single penny off of said game

shut the studio down a month later

This may be a bigger blunder than the actual Concordia sinking.

Nigger, they spent 6 gazillion dollars on advertising and the game launched to like 200 players

NOTHING would help this game and a relaunch would just be 10x more humiliating

Bingo, and when the only good character is a trash can, people generally don’t want to fuck that

Let's be real, the PC open beta had what, 2500 players? They looked at the numbers and saw that it wasn't worth even trying.

great, the most insufferable Anon Babble brigaders are having a field day. hundreds of people just got fired, their dreams crushed, and their very livelihoods threatened because of this. this is NOT something to celebrate even if you didn't like the game. be a decent human.

don't they constantly celebrate when they win? When the get "chuds" fired? aren't they celebrating paid reviews for DA Transguard right now?

Now if we can close Bioware that would be a major win. Its like blowing up a hive of woke plague. We could clean up this industry

and then they will ruin it with some inane retardation like how they killed helldivers 2

Modern audiences just aren't smart enough to appreciate the genius of Concord

I like this one

Concord looked like shit but I don't really see a reason to celebrate multibillion dollar companies continuing to acquire smaller ones, only to put them on retarded projects and then shutter them when it doesn't work out.

I want Sony to go under, not Firewalk.

are you happy now, chuddies?

Sony is really completely out of touch. There was a fairly decent chance that meme magic would have made the f2p version somewhat successful.

SHAT you ESL pajeet, SHAT.

I’m happy they closed, not because they made a woke game, but because they made a shit one

Aww man, that sucks.

do nothing

Sony bought them after they started this game though, someone at Sony looked at Concord and thought it was so much of a slam dunk they spent two hundred million dollars to buy the studio.

Bazz wonned.

Fucking Gollum.

That's the funniest thing to me, nobody cared about it to such an extent there were not even any real haters.

Oh fuck.

Maybe they are with a different studio.

I mean if my studio resulted in the biggest video game bomb of all time, I would be surprised if I wasn’t shit canned.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

snoy will piss away even more money showing the world that wokeslop doesn't sell

why wouldn't you celebrate?

On one side, I am rolling out of laugh, but on the other side I don’t think Sony is gonna let this slide.

They need to recover the money they lost, so they might do some shady stuff.

Kek.jpg - 596x514, 74.17K

we are laughing at you in the vc

Concord was kinda OK conceptually, but the formula where you are supposed to keep switching characters and roles as widely as possible to stack up different passives just is completely antithetical to how people want to play hero shooters.
The formula could have worked better if their characters were (aesthetically more pleasing) faceless mooks with customizable kits.

It's funny that some people still claim the game failed because of a lack of marketing.
That's the go to excuse for games like that failing it seems.

My thing is was just how it suddenly showed up, this like quarter billion dollar game(i know its not quite as prestigious when rockstar was breaking records with that amount). Didn't see it anywhere outside Anon Babble, not that I really looked elsewhere, blinked, and it was dead in the water.

And they have to recoup the money they lost. They are gonna squeeze the money from their consumers.

Probably too late to pull that episode from that t.v show about games right? Feels like an insult at this point.

MFW I knew a lot of people at Firewalk through working relations

They used to be lefties (It's fucking Seattle what did you expect) but it's honestly hilarious how far left they went after leaving Bungie. I feel bad for a few of them, but play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

We will never actually know how much influence Sony had on the game until maybe after Firewalk is shut down and ex-staff will speak up. Either way, I hate this whole acquisition of someone else's talent shit no matter the circumstances. For every garbage studio, we also lost a lot of good devs to corporate influence, either they become withered husks or get shuttered.

SEGA was stupid to give permission for Hyenas, but smarter than Sony to shut everything down before the disaster.

as intended from beginning

go lecture leftoids

I could absolutely believe that seeing as no Dragon Age game has ever cracked 10k concurrent on Steam.

Big S

BAZZ BROS THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING

They came back to the office because someone forgot their phone charger while they were cleaning out

certain aspects of Concord were exceptional

xD

fucking retards could have made some good psvr games with all that money, instead they made online slop and they are making even more. and still bending over for pc. sony bankruptcy now

it's being outsold by red dead right now. and it only has 8k concurrent.

what went wrong

ultimately it's the director's responsibility to make sure the stuff in the game is something audiences like, but theres also a phenomenon in games industry where people are very careful about giving criticism, especially if it's a matter of taste or opinion. there's also the fact that corpo loves moving forward without second guessing or redoing work, even though it's generally better to redo something and have it be good eventually than not redo it and have it come a bit earlier and be shit forever. but no one wants to be the guy who says "nah let's redo jim's work, it sucks" anymore.

20 years ago you had borderlands devs basically agreeing together that the art style they were doing sucked and that they should redo it entirely in favor of copying code hunters. that's basically unheard of nowadays outside indie circles

Holy fuck that would be so fucking funny.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure outfit

sony whipping its paypig niggers for cash is nothing new.

Hermen Hulst, CEO of the PlayStation studio business group

This motherfucker has to fall too, buying Firewalk Studios was his idea to begin with. Hulst was quoted saying he saw the greatest opportunity in SIE's recent history as he witnessed the proof of concept that later became Condord.

Jim Ryan fell due the overspending on Bungie, Hulst has to be chopped up by the same guillotine. Hopefully Horizon dies with him as well, he is the whole reason that series is pushed.

I don't have the picture on-hand, but reminder that there's a duck-bill brim on this outfit that sticks out a solid foot

no he didn't troon

Now I remind you that the "Professor" was a mini-me. HR's lapdog for Concord

I'm surprised it took that long. they wasted what could have been the budget of several AAA quality games on that shit.

Problem is that retards in charge shut down any attempt of criticism.

My sister rushed in the room to check on me because I was laughing so hard, now I feel even better knowing how much she cares about me

This was the worst acquisition in gaming history. What an absolute disaster.

SONY BOUGHT OUT AN ENTIRE EPISODE FOR ONE OF THOSE VIDYA ANTHOLOGY SERIES

GAME IS DEAD

STUDIO IS DEAD

Not entirely. Valve did just do it when they gave Deadlock a coat of period paint.

What was Bloodborne's budget, something like 50 mils if I remeber correctly? So 8 Bloodborne tier games.

The initial development deal for the game was just over $200 million, according to two source familiar with the agreement but who were not authorized to speak publicly about it. But Kotaku understands that amount was not enough to cover the game’s entire development and did not include the purchase of Concord IP rights or Firewalk Studios itself, which Sony acquired only last year.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

This, I wanted to win even harder. Now woketards are going to claim that it failed because of the price

There are too many video games. Even if all of them were based and high quality a lot of them would inevitably flop unless amount of games being made is reduced.

SIE could've funded Ape Escape 4, Gravity Rush 3, Parappa 3, Jak and Daxter 4, and Sly 5 with $400 million.

PS5 Pro price and the price bump in Japan for the base PS5. Japanese are being treated like cucks.

When the console launched in November 2020, it cost ¥49,980 ($345) for the standard edition and ¥39,980 ($275) for the Digital Edition.

The new price increase means the standard console’s current price in Japan will now be around $205 more expensive than at launch, with the Digital Edition costing around $185 more.

Don't worry, it'll live on in one form or another.
and now I noticed that the number of downloads for this shit is like half of Concord's max Steam player numbers, fuck...

I think a lot more will going forward. Both Sony and Microsoft are tired of buying these studios that then take 5 years to release a single game which proceed to get meh reviews and sell poorly. A lot of these remaining studios are going to get the "Okay what exactly are you guys making? How far along is it right now?" call soon.

One person cared enough about it.

Reach for the lasers, safe as fuck.

I still wonder how the fuck a barebones hero shooter with not even a campaign mode costed 400 million $ to create.

Was a Sony exec syphoning money out of the project? That's the only way I can explain it.

Anon, it's over, there's only Astrobot now

Doesn't matter, you fags will still make 24/7 generals about it

They probably determined that it would cost too much to redesign all of the characters. If it was just an issue of it being a paid game, it would have been F2P after a week.

Is it safe to say that this is modern day E.T now

Don't do anything

Win

We just can't stop winning fellow chuds

It's time to cut off Herman Hulst from Playstation. He's a liability to the LGBTQMAP+ movement

The difference is Overwatch had an appealing aesthetic with tons of coombait, and was fun to play. Concord is commiefornia vomit.

BTW, I've forgotten to mention this price increase was after that Concord bombed 4 days after its release. kek

Let me guess, he's in the replies denying that DEI had anything to do with this.

Fellas, doing nothing and winning is getting tiring, not gonna lie.

did Concord have ONE singular good design at all?

Is the game moddable? Imagine if it becomes like a free looter shooter hosted on private servers with the characters swapped out for some people else and beckoning forth the rebirth of QUAKE/UT/CoD LAN party days.

Sony are a Japanese company. A western one 100% would have tried to shill you this hard another way because The Message Matters the most. Japanese, they are embarrassed by what they allowed happen and will not continue that Shame. The plug is pulled

The most expensive game in the PS2 library is FFX at 32.3 million.
Even BOTW on the switch was 120 million.
You could have gotten THREE BOTW tier games for the cost of concord's dev costs alone, minus studio purchase or advertising.
You could have gotten 12 full games with FFX tier content and stories.
Scale it back to the average of 2 million in costs that were PS2 games and you could have funded literally 200 PiS5 games, which would have been enough to eclipse the entire switch library from sheer numbers alone.
Scale it even further down to 500k for indie games and you could have the biggest exclusive game library in vidya history by literally just hiring random indie jp solo devs that will make kino in 6 months or less with 800 PiS5 exclusives.

And to think that seasons and periodic animated shorts were ready (no, not the next level series), I've never seen a studio close so quickly but I'd say it's deserved with all the money lost.

-400 million and 8 years

Can only wish for a painful death to anyone who worked them and green lit their project.

Holy shit, did he actually?

This is what happens when you let activist faggots run your shit. Sony should've of had a tighter grip on the game they were developing. This is what they get for bending the knee to California faggotry and closing down Japan Studios. Rest in piss, Sony. Fuck you.

i'm feeling it!

You actually get charged a small fee for every refund so they legitimately made negative revenue.

Meanwhile the leads they paraded out.

The executives have no fucking idea of how the industry and the consumers function. Warner Bros executives, who were regularly pitched on content, story and cutscenes of the game, genuinely expected Suicide Squad game to make them billions, for example.
Combine that with leftist activist taking over the creative processes at studios and you are guaranteed to have profoundly unhealthy business.

I've been spilling seed all day, but Can'tcord/Firedwalk have had nothing to do with it.

director of IP

Hmmm... what's that

lol. lmao. at least hulst knows that the entire studio is tainted forever and no one would want to play a game from "the developers of concord".

I get what you mean, but not really, the game really had absolutely nothing that you couldn't get anywhere else, it was a underbaked, boring AAA shooter, those are dime a dozen.
At most, seeing the comically ugly guys run around would have been funny.

The irony of this kike’s argument is that a hero shooter with cute girls would dominate the oversaturated hero shooter market plagued with horrid looking creatures

11 days, that's all I can spare

this cost roughly four times more to develop than Elden Ring did

What did we learn?

ultimately it's the director's responsibility to make sure the stuff in the game is something audiences like, but theres also a phenomenon in games industry where people are very careful about giving criticism, especially if it's a matter of taste or opinion.

Your staff consists of women, lesbians, non-binaries, trannies, and other weirdos. Any white male with any sense who tries to reign them in will be sent to HR for harassment, inappropriate touching, etc. Without even that, they will try to use shaming tactics, to ensure that he's a good "ally' who is supporting his minorities on the staff (who make up a majority of the staff).

Have you seen the recent media exposes of old tv studios that amount to "the producer was mean once"? they want development rooms that are hug-boxes, maximized so that they are never felt uncomfortable and always get praise.

There's some tweet from the writer's room for the netflix witcher series, and it was a bunch of women showing off how they baked cookies and muffins. That's what they want. they want to have a fun time and enjoy themselves without any stress. Who cares about the end product?

I would say "GET BENT", but I'm pretty sure these literal fag troon devs would be into it.

Meanwhle, Metaphor Refantazio, one of the wokest games of the year, has sold over a million copies and is on its path to be a GOTY contender.

How does Japan do it?

And these phony faggots have the gall to say

T-They didn't even give it a chance! They didn't support it!

They unironically put ALL their eggs in this basket then tripped and launched the basket into the active freeway.

Japanese are being treated like cucks.

which is why the only way the console sells at this point is with chink exports
software sales keep being fucking abyssal week after week for the pis5 in japan

I thought they were doing internal patches for steam version? If it wasn't for f2p, then why?

A few of the characters (The robot, the alien Ramona flowers) would be okay in like, a non action sci fi tv show, not a fucking hero shooter, but that's about it.

It's surprising even normalfags completely ignored this game from the moment it was announced. Usually a big game just under-performs rather than actually being dead on arrival

Formerly: The guy who convinced Sony to give Amazon millions of dollars for that ridiculous animated show.

Now: Unemployed.

Ok faggots, i think the term "tortanic" has been completely outperformed, we should start to say "concord" instead.

that show episode is going to be a real post-mortem kick in the balls

Californian game devs are more than useless. They're literally wastes of functioning organs and money that could be used elsewhere.

How did execs even assume a game cast of ugly characters would do well? I was unfamiliar with concord and the drama for awhile, saw a video clip of the character select screen and the moment I saw some big fat brown girl? In a blue jacket show up, I knew this game was a failure

I work as a programmer at a software company(not game dev). And I just do shit managers say, I don't get to pick how the program works.
I feel for the programmers that were involved in this shit show. Programming can be a soul crushing job sometimes(unless you're turbo autist) especially if you're developing something you don't like or have passion for and ESPECIALLY if you know that what you crunch and bite your nails for is going to be flushed down the toilet anyway. From what I could tell, aside that the game looked like shit it ran pretty well.

It was all me. I did this, I did not buy Concord, I know I know. I never thought my actions could bring such destruction. I’m sorry

This was live service slop that was MP only but still cost money. It was made for a time that had far passed by them and even then probably wouldn't have lasted much longer than Lawbreakers if it released at the "right" time for its existence. It died for the same reasons as Hyenas died, but at least Sega had the foresight to suffocate Hyenas in the crib.

Probably just doing trivial busy work while they waited for the executives' decision. Bug fixes, etc.

Did Dustborn technically win?

would have been sensible to look at what they were making and tell them "no", before it came out.

The stratagem of doing nothing.

Put this into perspective. The biggest box office failures all at least made some of the money back, even if it was 40 or 50 percent. Concord made practically NONE of it back. Literally 200 million+ burned on nothing.

Culture War bullshit aside, I hope this serves as Sony's ultimate wake-up call that Live Service Games just aren't the infinite money printers they thought they were, a lesson a company like Nintendo was always aware of.

lol, this bitch deserves to get fired.

The free market always wins, baby

$0.

The game is already "feature complete." The issue is trying to money it. Which given there was NO PLAYER BASE at $40, is damn near impossible. If NOBODY had any interest in your OPEN BETA period, what is going to make them open the wallet at $0.00 re-launch?

It's certainly not the She-boon tranny or any of the aliens. Especially recoloring them.

Literally do nothing

win

Yeah but they aren't doing this because is smart, is because they ALREADY tried to revived a failure (Morbius) only to it to tfail again and becoming an even bigger laughingstock so they learned to not do it again only because they already did it.

I really need to watch Queen's Blade

Absolutely disgusting how little forethought or insight went into all of this. Hundreds of millions of dollars pissed away on a project no one wanted. It's modern day Lysenkoism and it's shameful that we even got to this point.

So, do companies just flat out not do market research anymore? Can they not put out an anonymous poll to ask people "do you want this game, Have you even heard of this game"?

Half the reason Overwatch was as successful as it was was because the characters generally looked appealing, even if they weren't outright coombait.

Every bandwagoning trendchaser motherfucker out there "Okay but what if we made the ugliest looking motherfuckers possible for our hero shooter?"

"wtf why is no one playing our game?"

I say it in the other threads involving shit games and I'll say it here

I'M GLAD THEY LOST THEIR JOBS

Nintendo does have Live-Service games. Smash Bros, ARMS, Splatoon, their primarily multiplayer franchises, but they always do their own thing instead of trying to copy some other, more popular game, and they never put microtransactions.

They do have content updates over time but there's no MTX in them aside from single player DLC.

No, live service games have micro-transactions.
Splatoon is a plain online shooter, with a pay once and you're done DLC.

nintendo has a whole line of mobile gacha games, retards
stupid fucking reddt tier commentary "WOKE STUFF ASIDE.... RETARD TAKE"
like bro, are you fucking retarded

we have scientifically engineered the least appealing video game characters ever made

alright whats next

make it 40 dollars

youre a fucking genius...

The entire industry is chasing after the lightning in a bottle that is fortnite and GTAV.
Literally that's the only two examples of successful GASS games they ever bring up, both of which were massively propped up by both being the first of their genre AND the covid buffs.
Even older GASS like warframe only saw humble and decent success compared to the gorillions fornite makes, and it fucking shows with every single new GASS project being either an overwatch or fortnite clone.

you're promoted!

Market research for games are laughable at best because you could get screened out for even considering a speck of wrongthink. If you're not a good match for their focus group, then you won't be invited to their exclusive one-to-one interview

You don't just "end up" in the games industry these days. It's much more competitive than many other software subfields despite those subfields having better salaries and hours. These people chose this path because they really wanted it. They chose to contribute to the pointlessness and ugliness of modern western AAA. They made their bed and now they're sleeping in it.

Live-service games are games that pay for their own ongoing development. None of those are live service games. Nintendo hasn’t made a live service game

400+ mil down the drain

How much did a game like Elden Ring cost to make? I need a point of reference to understand the depths of incompetency we're dealing with here

Do they? You mean Pokemon Go, which isn't STRICTLY a Nintendo game(they had no say, or input in it's development)?

If you think Nintendo would be equally as retarded to dump 200-400 MILLION dollars on a GAS game that's just a bad copy of another game, then you're fucking delusional, and I'm not even a Nintendie.

Everyone involved in Concord killed their careers

The DLC is also single player. The game doesn't withhold any multiplayer content.

I'm much more interested in seeing the decision-makers die in a hole. But that probably won't happen.

ok so as said, maybe she was an insider from Amazon to get a %?

I wonder who this is, most fighting game players I know were shitting on concord constantly

then they should be told to knock that off. You can't will an audience into existence. You have to work with what's there on the ground.

NTA, but the Director of IP is the person who would run things in a cross-media environment. Like if we lived in a parallel dimension of pure shit and the game was successful, the IP Director would be the person deciding what toys get made, if Concord characters show up in other games, what a Concord Netflix series would be like, and so on. Shit like that.

betty spaghetti

maybe if he put just a few more millions into supporting multiculturalism and trannies we will finally reach the open society... next time it will work for sure...

So, the amazon series episode. This show is obviously paid by the companies to feature their shows. If she handled that, after this clusterfuck, is because she got a meddling % from the Sony-Amazon agreedment because it's her section. Also this thread should be a sticky desu

. You can't will an audience into existence. You have to work with what's there on the ground.

Veilguard will sell millions, chud

i was working in a team of nothing but white dudes and i still encountered toxic positivity and cliques. like certain employees were allowed to just do whatever the fuck they wanted, badmouth other employees, etc. and no one would reign them in because they were friends with the right people. but the same company had people who were terribly afraid of giving me simple feedback even though i was always very open to it and always took it with no rancor.

something about the games industry invites socially retarded autists and cowards now

we destroyed the economy to own the chuds!

this is not the "win" you thought it was

But you can tell an audience your game isn't for them, and then complain and call them sexist and racist when they take your advice and don't buy it!

you said the same about concord
and outlaws
and dustbin

Jew makes a good game

Insurmountably based

bad game

but it's the best game ever made, he explains it right there, in his post. stop with your misinformation

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the modern games

I don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of buying modern games

Every slop I don't buy is another mistake to you

(Caught in the DEI, just caught in the DEI)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware

I'm becoming this, all I want to do

Is play more based games and be less like you

YT PEEPO RAYCEEST!

Game flops

Many such cases.

I was obligated to buy the game...
