  1. #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!

  2. 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 sonyinteractive.com/en/news/bl

  3. 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.

    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.

  5. 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

  6. Yeah, #FirewalkStudios is gone.

    At least they made their money developing #Concord.

  7. 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.

  8. 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?

  9. 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?

  10. 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.
