Concord took 8 years to develop.

And you could only play it for 2 weeks before it shut down.

It is—without a doubt—the biggest flop in entertainment history.

@atomicpoet Wait, it shut down? I'm usually getting my gaming news from podcasts, and I'm a bit behind. I just heard about its release.

@loke Yeah, you can’t even buy it. Not even physically—Sony removed it from sale on Amazon.

By September 9, servers will be shut down forever.

@atomicpoet @loke but was it cool?

@mcnado @loke Hard for anyone to know. Almost no one played it!

It was a complete and utter commercial disaster!

@atomicpoet I just read the summary on Wikipedia. It looks pretty bad.

I recall when Sony announced they had some ungodly number of "live service" games in development. That seemed like a terrible strategy to me. Seems like at least some of that pessimism has borne out to be true.

@loke The problem was that the PvP hero shooter is a saturated genre, and most of the good games are free.

Sony was charging $40 for Concord, and nobody was there!

@atomicpoet @loke honestly great marketing if they open it back up at like $5 a pop just to try it out. Now I’m curious

@mcnado @loke If this game is never seen again, it will be a legendary piece of lost media.

@atomicpoet

without a doubt.

@Nikolai_Kingsley At least you can play Daikatana still.
