the memes

unironically, they could have given a fraction of that money to a group of Anon Babbleirgins, Anon Babbletards, and Anon Babble pandas, and they would have created a masterpiece

They already made their money back from one month of PS+ subscriptions, it's a nothingburger

But that's not enough, so there's also forced ads even WITH the subscription.

People are reacting well to it IG

What makes Concord an 'important' game? It's not Disco Elysium.

this is a right-wing chud being sneaky.

I honestly wonder what would come from a Anon Babble indie hero shooter like that. Would probably be mostly lolis and furry girls who fuck human men

real life rewards from the government

from time spent in game

10/10 jimmies are very rustled

half a billion

Why do you retards keep making up bigger and bigger numbers?
What marketing costs?
No one ever heard of the fucking game till it imploded few days after release.

Social justice points. Worth way more than money.

To feed bolshevic activists for 8 years. The money isn't gone, just in someone elses pocket

owning the chuds
it failed

Retards want to make the damage look bigger so they can spin it. Nevermind that the 400 million number came from a faggot with no source but grifter faggots ran away with it

state enforced engagement with Concord is necessary

Could they just, I don't know, make a good game with appealing designs? Appealing doesn't always mean sexy.

real life rewards from the government for time spent in game, to fight capitalism

how the fuck does their brain work?

0skullthumb.jpg - 540x360, 30.47K

don't you worry about their money, none of your business goyim.

that's pocket change for them

Is this the biggest flop in entertainment history?

Probably yes if it's just the videogame industry.

investing in an audience that kills themselves

the only way to get all achievements before EoS is to kill yourself repeatedly

it's like south park but real life

If I had a team of 4 people and a budget of one million I could make the best game of all time. Too bad for companies like Sony that I am not for sale and there is no force in existence that can force me to create.

consoles can be rebuild, Zach

until we force taxation theft and make them consume this propaganda slop...

blame the previous CEO. He's a fucking retard that also closed down Studio Japan.

They threw half a billion dollars to own the chuds and prove to the world that gamers don't need to be their audience. There's a new "Modern Audience" in town so gamers can go fuck themselves.

so when is Sony going to hold the straight white male executives accountable for this flop?

ironically ex sony ceo just said that zoomies are groomed into forever live service games (fortnite/roblox) and dgaf about traditional games

The game would end up with a title like Hitlerman: Rise of the Troons

True communism is when you get paid to play videogames

and for what?

MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I KICK SO MUCH BUTT

becvme vnprofitable

To own the chuds incel
Also to launder a shitton of money

I think what is more annoying is they lost half a billion and are making no radical changes in their management structure

REAL REWARDS FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO PLAY THE PROPAGANDA GAME
BIG UPS SISTER

I UNIRONICALLY WANT THE NEET TOIL OF PLAYING HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT GAMES LIKE CONCORD FOR MY NEETCHECKS. Give me free money for playing retarded government propaganda, please.

The biggest flop in film history was John Carter which lost $250 million.

Depending on how much Sony spent on advertising and such, this might be bigger.

You VILL play the game when Walz and Fink run the country.

There have to be some bad actors just shitposting on resetera with the most ass backward lefty takes to make them look bad since no one can call them out on it without getting banned.

I am a giant faggot leftist and this is retarded. It's gotta be a shitpost, right?

What marketing costs?

Rule of thumb for movies is that marketing budget is at least as much as the production budget.
This is true for games, too. You claim you "didn't hear" about the game, but it had ad campaigns running on TV and on every streaming site. You probably filtered them out when you saw them with the other background noise because even back then you thought it looked like shit

kekd audibly

That's actually incredibly funny to read. He can't get banned or called out for that either on that forum.

Hello if the government gave me 200 bucks every week to play concord I would have left my Playstation on waiting in empty lobbies and collected my paycheck. What fucking retards.

The government turned my gas supply back on because I met my Concord quota for the month.

Money laundering

eat ze bugs.jpg - 1080x1080, 164.43K

Ah yes video game developing is just as important as food as housing lets make sure out gov taxes every one to make sure these companies stay in business

Why did they take it down? I didn't even have a chance to play the fucking thing, all I heard was that it tanked and then they pulled it offline, didn't even get a single chance to play it.

I know it has trannies and stuff but is the gameplay actually bad too or just generic?

No, Anon Babble, I am not going to respond to that Resetera screencap and use it as a fucking anchor post for the thread.

You can't make me.

The people Sony bought the company from must be laughing it up that they managed to get paid a fortune to have Snoy take an absolute dud off their hands.

They don't

Concord was an Overwatch clone that started dev shortly after its release and itself released in 2024 as part of Jim Ryan's throbbing erection for the thought of their own infinite-money-generation live service game.

Not abnormal for Sony to waste money. I still remember Heaven's Gate from the 1980's. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Kek these faggots are really tired of seeing all their shitty games flop if they're getting this desperate.

LAUGHku.png - 798x455, 271.23K

Indeed! It's amazing what overconfidence does to a motherfucker. Because if money laundering is not the case, then overconfidence is.

yes anon a random resetera poster that is definitely not baiting to be screencapped and reposted to Anon Babble is personally and emotionally involved with concord's success

the 10 trillion dollar handrub

Oh shit, can't wait for the inevitable gamer-gulags.
Forced to consume copious amounts of shitty propaganda-slop in order to survive another day in this SOCIETY.
GAMERS! RISE UP!

reminder: that money could have gone towards disadvantaged kids who are starving and homeless
instead, it was wasted on a shit game no-one wanted, and created a few tonnes of plastic waste
remember this when corpo-butt-snorkeling leftoids try to call you the bad guy

They could've just given half of that to me instead and been significantly better off. In fact, that's true of all the greatest current flops: I should start an agency that tells these big media corps if their ideas are going to flop or not in exchange for 10% of what they would've spent. Everyone would be better off.

No, resetera is basically Anon Babble but left and a forum.

It was all for the entertainment of Anon Babble

public funding

have they never heard of Kickstarter? they can personally fund all the shit games they want there.

Appealing doesn't always mean sexy.

Finally, someone said it.

didn't even bother trying to make it f2p

Sony are so fucking retarded it's unreal.

It would have failed
Only 1000 players (on pc) tuned in for free beta

They could have financed the Ukrainian defense.

I feel like 80% of Concord's failure can be laid at the feet of the character designer

Important games

Concord

It is it important game, it will be used in Court one day to legally ban leftists from making games ever again because all they willingly do is create propaganda
That's why he stated the game is 'important' by the way, and now he is thinking of ways to force people to consume it

Literally fascists

They are going to do it again and again and again
This literally means nothing to them, they will keep trying until it sticks

There is nothing to convince me that chuds won in any degree

Sony threw half a billion dollars in the toilet just like that, and for what?

They sure did pwned the chuds. Right, bros? Right?

I would love the government to pay me money to revive the gaming market

Nice try, we all know anyone who doesn't breathe correctly gets banned
This is the AVERAGE poster on that site, and don't let this lefty faggot convince you otherwise, their ALL this batshit insane

Nahhh
Theres no way thats not a troll post lmfao

He means funding for games no one wants to play
Have a little sympathy, it's tough!

They thought they were making the modern equivalent to Star Wars as it was in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. They were intending for that level of success out the gate, because it was some CEO's pet project.

The funny thing too is that almost exactly describes Dustborn minus the rewards bit and it still sold like shit.

There are so many of these paid and fake Snoy shills on Twitter and the algorithm would constantly show me their posts for some reason

they're so upset that this garbage fire failed that they're proposing governments bribing people to play their propaganda

Holy shit ResetEra is so far gone.

Concord controllers

There's probably piles of them sitting rotting in a warehouse somewhere now.

SOILENT VIDEO GAMES IS MADE OF LEFTIST PEOPLE!

been saying it for years
instead of $200M in one bucket, $20M in 10 buckets
goes for both movies and games
diversify your potential hit portfolio
these business fags all think they're "too big to fail" and just shit the bed

Idle in Concord 2 for half a day every day

1500 neetbux have been deposited in your account


Works for me lmao, these people have severe brain damage

hard to tell reality from fiction these days
being reeeeesetera, thinking the former

gaas is winner take all

so don't try it

someone will win and everyone thinks it's them

Problem is even with that they have to pay for servers, maintenance and such. If the playerbase is not big enough to buy their shitty microtransactions, they would go down anyways with bigger costs.

Sony is so lucky that they have one of the most loyal dare I say cultish fanbases out there

I wonder if they'll blacklist LGBT devs moving forward. They're a business, not a pretend to care for minorities delusions center.

I will never understand how people with this mindset aren't just sitting in front of slot machines in Vegas all day.

How could you possibly be so deluded and function well enough to run anything, let alone get into the C suite of a 9+ digit value company.

Top 5 most retarded resetera posts of all time (Extremely competetive)

worked for tim fortnite

Fucking kek

I really thought they'd try and bring it back as a free to play. Surely that would at least make them some of their money back right?
I feel like a lot of people would try it just to see the game that flopped so badly. I would have played it just out of curiosity.

Don't post my Kita-chan without my permission fag. I wouldn't give it to you anyway.

The day this happens is the day i stop paying taxes idgaf

All companies waste massive amounts of money constantly.

To put it simply, Wall Street and big business investments are Vegas for the wealthy because they're too big for.the former. Stocks and betting on the superbowl/politics are their slot machines

The people that decided to okay this project got promoted and ended up firing the people that made it.

retards whine about games like BotW and Pokémon not giving them something "worthwhile" for completing the dex/game 100%

as if anything in a game could be life changing in some way and making something game changing wouldn't be pointless since you no longer have reason to keep playing

I kept pointing this out to them

You were supposed to go the other way with my advice, retards, not triple down.

they might be worth something 15-20 years from now.

Nobody wanted to play it.

HAHAHAHAHA WHAT

writings on the wall, no one wants to buy f2p shit for these characters
they have more to gain making it their tax write off for the year

400mil tax writeoff is pretty juicy tho. They probably will pay 0 taxes this year.

Too big for the latter*

But yeah, they're just looking into what they can gamble their money with at this point and live service is the supposed trend they're told is huge because Fortnite.
They don't research this shit, they pay people to tell them what they want to hear. That's how we get into messes like Concord.

Nahhh

Theres no way thats not a troll post lmfao

It fits their authoritarian anti-capitalist ideology. Remember: liberalism brought us human rights, democracy, and the Leftist's first step is to reject Liberalism and everything it stands for. That's why leftists are so authoritarian.

reminds me of snoys going from the ps4 to the ps5

why aren't people paying for our slop

that must be the chuds, no way our output is shit

etc etc

200 million for development cycle

+ marketing

+ studio acquisition

+ development of cinematic shorts with Amazon Prime

+ merchandising

Did you forget that Sony thought this was going to be their Marvel Avengers moment? Stupid fucking retard.

They didn't intentionally throw it away. Obviously their arrogant pricks out of touch with normal people. Thought they had a hit.

No. It’s the right who are the Nazis.

Only reason why they are still alive today, really.

Log in the game

Leave PC to do anything else

Get free money

I don't know. Maybe I would like it

The friends we've made along the way

AND THEY ARE LEGENDARY. VIDEO GAME HISTORY. BEYOND EVEN ET.

u retards cant be this dense, its a joke

Even if it was, this is already the case. Goverenment funded games, used as edutainment in goverment schools.

What marketing costs?

No one ever heard of the fucking game till it imploded few days after release.

Marketing was actually very large. You absolutely couldn't play any sony games online without seeing it. They made hats, shirts, videos and a fucking TV episode. It was not the usual above the line spending though and I bet you have an ad blocker.

Check the credits list. They hired 2 seperate emergency code dev teams, plus hundereds of expensive outside contractors. Even if 400 is off, the number is still fucking gigantic. We know the 200 for early dev is real because of their public announcments before.

Yes.

Budget is absolutely bigger than 250 million. It was 200 million when the only people working on it was probably monsters and sony. The contractors +ad campaign is way more than 50, not even counting the last year or so of dev.

sony should have wasted the money on her instead

This really isn't out of line for them anon. My school board is being pressured by "activists" to buy some "diverse" games for the students.

To anyone who said this is bait - notice no ban. Meaning they agree with this statement as even the mildest disagreement will get punished.

No. Well, no more than R.A. is. They are quite serious.

Its c/c-. It's pretty much Destiny mutiplayer.

Of course. They mean GOVERMENT funding, like what dustborn, or when the water flows like wine got.

I'm hoping to get pwned again and again. FAIRGAME$! MARATHON! FLUSH IT AGAIN BABY.

her

Of course not. SOME of SBI's people though might have a hard time at some companies.

The 200 million only covers the Probably monsters part of the dev cycle. They hired a LOT of motherfuckers after.

Sony's true goal is to power up the new Chud race. More sacrifices will have to be made though

get into the C suite of a 9+ digit value company.

it's nepotism
all the talented businessmen of the 50/60's are dying off /retiring and handing their companies over to their kids who have no real business sense.

Concord failed because capitalism

RUMAO, how the fuck do you become such a shell of an human being is the film sony should make and sell, it would do billions.

yea 10 trillion dollar handrub tax payers money.
the ONLY reason he was grandstanding like that in 2016, was because he wanted to show his overlords what a good job he is doing redistributing the US economy's tax payer wealth.
blackrock makes their own money through the fees they charge.

It's "important" like horizon is
Sony execs just REEEEALLY REALLY WANT overproduced, hyper realistic, woke slop to be the status quo
So everyone just needs to realize how "important" it is, and give Sony money to reward and incentivize their fanfic tier antics

Political statement. Jews have infinite money anyway, if this one flopped they'll make 10 more billion dollar games until one succeeds.

It's not about money.

It's about sending the message.

You have not played your government-issued video game citizen. You will now be sent to the re-education camps. Do not resist or we will be forced to play Lady Gaga music.

That's not how write offs work. They'll save whatever the taxes were going to be on the 400 million, which could potentially be tens of millions of dollars, way more then they ever could have hoped to get from the IP, but still a huge loss over all.

Ah yes, government intervention, truly peak free market capitalism right there.

and for what?

THE MESSAGE

Kikes would throw a BILLION dollars if it means that you troon yourself out and become an antinatalist nonbinary.

spend hundreds of millions of dollars to send the message

everyone rejects the message

how's that working out for them?

for the lulz

send msg

not like this...
