You know whats funny about #Concord?

It's that the best part of #Concord wasn't the game itself, but an episode in #LoveXRobots

#Concord developers close forever. What a Live Service games does to a mf.

#FirewalkStudios may be dead now but that’s on #PlayStation. They bought a project that released late, over budget, pricey and and without player base.

Thanks, Jim Fucking Ryan!

The entire #FirewalkStudios situation is just so fucking sad. Years of hard work, then the game finally comes out and is axed after only two weeks, and now announcing that the studio will close. Insane management incompetence from Sony, feeling bad for all the devs who'll lose their jobs. What sucks extra hard is that no one will ever be able to play the game. #gamedev https://sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/an-update-from-playstation-studios/

Sony Closes Firewalk Studios After Shutting Down ‘Concord’ Video Game

The more I hear about #Deadlock, the more I believe #IceFrog is the GOAT of gaming designers.

Is kinda funny how a game still on development, and invite-only with playmaking scheduled, can humiliate a game like #Concord that took 8 years and USD $400M.

#Concord cost USD $400 millions.

This means #FirewalkStudios is going to be snapped out of existence. I wonder how #Sony will try to fill that hole in their books.

This is the important bit: prepare for layoffs.

Cognition Dissemination: The Commonality Between Concord and Dustborn
They aren’t positive qualities to have in common, unfortunately.

Now that #Concord is dead, this video is great dissecting where it failed, and where it won.

TL;DR: No mtx. Competitive was raison d'être.

Everybody thinks #FirewalkStudios is going to close, and with good reason.

My condolences to the developers. They should be throwing their CV elsewhere before the layoffs catch them with their pants down.

Let's keep the grave dance one last time!

Is #Concord the biggest videogames flop of all time?

To me, yes:

- 8 years
- Over USD 100M investment
- 25,000 copies (1M gross)
- Generic
- Mocked everywhere

#Videogames #Gaming #Games #FirewalkStudios #Sony #Multiplayer #FPS #HeroShooter #PlayStation5 #PlayStation #PS5 #PlayStationStore #Steam #EGS #EpicGamesStore

Yeah, #FirewalkStudios is gone.

At least they made their money developing #Concord.

Imagine being queued to a game you paid $40 and never finding the last two people to make a 5v5 match.

Just for perspective, here is the market that #Concord faced at release:

- #Overwatch2
- #MarvelRivals
- #Valorant
- #Paladins
- #Destiny2
- #ApexLegends
- #RainbowSixSiege
- #Smite
- #TeamFortress2
- #Deadlock
- #TheFinals
- #XDefiant
- #HaloInfinite

Tell me what Concord did different against one of these games.

Hey #Sony, here is how you can cover those $200M lost by #Concord.

#Videogames #Gaming #Games #PlayStation #PlayStation5 #PS5 #PlayStationStudios #FirewalkStudios #Bloodborne #FromSoftware

#Concord is being pulled out from stores. No longer playable after September 6th.

What do you think will happen with #FirewalkStudios, its creator?

#Videogames #Gaming #Games #Sony #PlayStation #PlayStationStore #PlayStation5 #PS5 #Steam #EpicGamesStore #Multiplayer #HeroShooter #FPS

Probably the biggest flop in gaming story.

There is no confirmation about how much #Sony spend on acquiring #FirewalkStudios and financing #Concord, rumor say it’s between USD $100M~$250M.

What’s clear is that this hole in their books is going to be translated in the studio closure. #PlayStation knows the game is unsalvageable.

#Videogames #Gaming #Games #PlayStation5 #PS5 #HeroShooter #Multiplayer #Steam #EpicGamesStore #EGS

Sales and critical reception was so bad, #Concord lasted only *two weeks* before being pulled out from store shelves.

Yep. Game delisted and no longer playable after September 6th (this Friday).

Who knows what #FirewalkStudios will do now. Will they remake the game entirely? Call it quit and start anew? Lay-off and shutdown?

"#Concord is the prime example of how the astonishing effort of many can be thrown to the trash by the very few on top."

#Videogames #Gaming #Games #PlayStation5 #PlayStation #PS5 #Sony #FirewalkStudios #Multiplayer #HeroShooter

So, to keep the grave dancing mood over #Concord, when do you expect Sony will turn off the servers?

Is Sony too invested on it, or will they cut their losses?

This #PCGamer article from #TylerWilde has a very astroturfing vibe.

Anyway, it misses the point. Players are treated like livestock by modern gaming companies.

When a big AAA game like #Concord flops, it's celebrated with justful reason: it's a test that games-by-comitee shouldn't exist.
