- Industry speech regarding the shutdown of Sony's latest hero shooter title, Concord. The balance of power in the video game industry has shifted. Gamers have made their voices heard. Concord will be discontinued and servers will be shut down September 6.

Where were you when you first heard the news, "Concord has fallen"? (I know this video isn't fun or funny like my other videos. This one is aimed at the industry and I've set a tone to fit my intended result)
Bro I don’t think you realize how much of a comedian you are 😂 I’ve been enjoying your content in your last few vids. Keep it up 👍
Not playing concord
In my 5th period class. It made my day go from great, to fantastic!
Waking up from a peaceful sleep
On youtube, doom-scrolling, when this wonderful news arrived.
So many classic studios died under Sony, just for them to blow $200 million on this turd. You get what you deserve
There is NO way Concord had a $200 million budget, please be exaggerating. 😭😭
Money laundering might be involved
@@Chicky_Lumps Development is estimated between 100-150 million. Add on the marketing budget and… yeah…
They could have ported Bloodborne to pc with half of all that money
@@rg975marketing for that game must have been failure in itself. I dont think ive ever saw concord ad or heard about it before its release
the guy casually just droped the most epic and inspiring speech of all time, thanks to concord fall
Badicly the book. Rich dad Poor dad
Damn, my man went hard!
it'll be back as a free to play game, unfortunately.
I know right? 😅 Amazing speech, it fired me up!
Doesn't take a lot to impress you lol
Remember, remember The Third of September
few will get this reference

The Concord live service flop
I can think of no reason
why this live service failure
should ever be forgot.
😂😂😂hell yeah.

Bro gave a speech as if a World War had just ended
Well....we are dangerously close to one fr so....kinda fits.
We aren't ...this statement has been thrown around for decades at this point @@FoxVidz2000
I mean... is was a worldwide "war": ideologists and billion companies against the common gamer.
Sony corrupted by California.
SONY, RETURN TO JAPAN!
Its already to late for them, they have sold their souls to the devil. If they decide to go back to Japan all their gonna do is push more woke dei shit.
this
Double THIS.
Return to Japan and get cracking on the Bloodborne Remaster..
yeah because nintendo or konami etc. is so much better lol. shitty companies are shitty companies, no matter what country they are in or from.
The same speech needs to be said to the movie industry
and TV, and Games, and Table Top gaming, etc etc etc
its a lost cause they run deep in it, atleast we can make change in games before its too late.
@kozmo5342 who has the money these people want ? WE DO ! As long as we stand firm, keep our wallets closed and refuse the slop these companies put out , we hold the power !!!! WE are half , if not more , of the consumer base . Do you really think the activists' journalists and media types purchase the slop they champion ?
i think the movies attract the lowest common denominator, for games you have to have some level of intelligence...that's what i hope will make a difference
Would love to see Sly delivering the message.
Concord crashed so others could fly.
Of course you have to make a flying joke in September.
Concord crashed harder than boring

I endorse this man
He better watch his seat, because he might lost his chair just to pay the bills, if they ever release Concord 2.
its easy to say it here. if this guy becomes president of microsoft he will sell out just like phil spencer did.
at this point ppl made more money bashing concord than concord made in sales
The entertainment industry has been hijacked by bad actors. I'm going to stop buying games until normality resumes.
I just want good movies and shows too...
@@sungrandstudios Same man, but in the movie industry the people who deserves to be fired always dodge the bullet.

For me the sunlight shines onto my monitor lol, its so blinding
I can hear the birds singing now. Tis beautiful

Haha. Love you man. When I saw this news I knew this was gonna be a beautiful day.
"7/10" is a mic drop so hard I audibly groaned. Awesome stuff.
Glad to be of service.

I was outside, drawing, jogging, learning some coding for web design at a nearby coffee shop when concord announced its major news on September 3rd 2024. The sky was so blue today.
you was drawing,jogging and learning coding for web design at the same time?inside a coffee shop?you have every right to call me talentless.
another beautiful day to start the usual routine 😉
I was in a video game store when this story aired. 🤣🤣
@@joestar3688 Its true, i was there. I was the barista.
I had just won my first Figure 8 race on PoopSock in a Firefly when I got this notification. Both were miraculous!
Concord is the martyr of gaming industry. They literally sacrificed themselves along with millions of dollars to show the world how ridiculous the idea of modern audiences is.
Or the fact that "modern audience" is less than 1000 people in a sea of millions.
Good. Sometimes life needs to slap you in the face, only then you will learn.
This needs to be said. Gamers are NOT against diversity. We've loved diversity in our games since gaming's inception. These days if any show, movie or game has a diverse cast and it gets hated for completely different reasons the creators immediately jump to call us "racists". If gamers are such racists then how come games like tekken, prototype, final fantasy and more get so much love? Those games are also diverse. Have characters from many backgrounds.
That's because those games prioritised being a good game first. And the diverse character are well designed, well written characters that feel like real people and not caricatures.
What we hate is forced diversity. That's what DEI is. Diversity for the sake of it. We hate race swaps, gender swaps, unappealing and ugly character designs because you're too afraid to "offend" someone by making a good looking character.
Truth be told, these days it feels like the industry has lost its balls. Gaming was bold. Daring. Innovative. Now it's safe. Boring. And cringe. But it won't be for long cuz how many concords can they make? They don't have unlimited money. One day they will have to stop and go back to making good games that gamers want.
My issue is, what do you consider ugly? Gender and race swaps can be good but often are bad because writers are rushed or incompetent. People who say that theyre against DEI make broad stroke statements like that without the nuance that NEEDS to be brought to the table. If you dont youre just as bad as the people you’re reeling against.
@@darkwraithjinx228 Gender and race swaps are virtually never good, unless the game is ALL about it (which only really works in adult games, generally swapping male individuals into pretty women). If you swap a single character in a franchise, it is 100% bad, no matter the circumstances and quality of work.
If you want a character of this or that race and gender, then make a NEW character. Ferrari is Ferriar because it's...Ferrari. Not Toyota, Peugeot or M.A.N.
@@flamingburritto I mean - yeah but also consider the fact that it's not "forced" in the sense that developers aren't pressured into DEI or anything, they strategically choose to include these things into games [often poorly] because they think it'll make them more money.
A great non-gaming example is Harry Potter. There was no need to suddenly make Dumbledore gay [which is something Overwatch would do later], it was just simple catering and it was done poorly. That's why these characters don't really resonate with the demographic they are targeting, but also don't resonate with the general public either.
The problem isn't DEI, it's making characters for the sole reason of ticking boxes. That's the real problem
@@darkwraithjinx228 Honestly, it's probably going to take time before people stop saying DEI and woke on everything. These companies and activists have damaged the industry.
@@teenagesteveminecraftWhile I overall agree with your point, I would say that you're describing the culture of DEI while distancing it from the "official DEI."
At it's core, DEI is based on false claims and wrong assumptions: specifically, that "minorities" (unlike majorities) can't make the mental leap to relate to characters on the basis of their character, but must see someone physically like the minority in order to invest in those characters. This claim is not just false, but legitimately bigoted; it diminishes and infantalizes the people supposedly being catered to.
"Sir, a second AAA slop game has hit the internet."
I wonder if Ubisoft Star Wars will have the same fate.
@@alvarny77 why would it, it's a singleplayer game that is actually selling decently okay and didn't take 8 years of dev cost to make
Fairgame$ has entered the arena lol.
I mean, the devs behind this game are former Ubisoft employees so of course it’s going to be even worse than Concord. Next year, we’ll all laugh at this cringefest.
@@alvarny77Already has flopped. Their assassins creed game will be the final nail in the coffin, hopefully it wakes them up. If not, then oh well, ubisoft can't hype up garbage if they're not in business
Bruh 😂😂😂
Star Wars Outlaws was a flop.
Dustborn was a flop.
Concord was THE flop.
Dustborn was the money laundering game no one can tell me unwise.
AC: Shadows next?
don't forget suicide squad
We saw a AA game, AAA game and a AAAA game flop.
AC shadows too aaand skull and bones the AAAA title
After September 3, 2024, the world will be divided into two games: one that learned from the mistakes of Concord, and one that did not.
Yes so I’m sure people will finally learn that you shouldn’t buy the new call of duty game ?
@@ni9274 call of duty is a massive franchise with an established fanbase. Concord is a new franchise without any fans.
@@speedysparta403Exactly, cod will always do well unless they really drop the ball and release like an unplayable mess or something
@ni9274 I've played the beta, it's not a bad game, better then the last few in my opinion, I did like MW3 though
It is refreshing to listen to someone who talks like a real adult person. Your speeches are precise, coherent, and mature in not only content but delivery as well. Oh, and your honesty is refreshing as well. For that alone I salute you.
As an old wise person once said, "You cannot be equal to someone if you have to pull that someone down in order for you to rise up to their level"
Hopefully this will be our modern day form of the shot heard around the world. Itd be quite poetic.
I know it wasn’t a great game or whatever, but man… so many years spent on a game that didn’t even last two weeks…
You had no one other than the developers to blame for
don't feel bad for the developers. a creative disaster of this scale can only happen in an echo chamber. the contempt these developers have for differing opinions probably stems much further back than just fighting Concord haters on twitter. if they had been open to feedback from literally almost anyone outside of their little bubble, they would have realized how awful their character roster is, both artistically and in gameplay design. they would have realized their stale hero shooter is nowhere near innovative enough to succeed, especially in a genre controlled by F2P games. a trained eye could have probably seen disaster coming 6 months or a year into this trainwreck's development. I can virtually guarantee that these devs deluded themselves for years and years into believing that their game was unique and special and everyone would love it. this is the reality of these people's childish beliefs, a wonderland of infantile self-deception, telling yourself that you are the best or special or different without the track record to prove it, followed by the crushing realization that you really weren't so great.
always strive to improve. never tell yourself "I'm good enough, I don't need to get better, stronger or smarter." or this is your fate. never let anyone fool you into thinking life will agree with your delusions.
I bet most current employees/ low level dev are in for about 2-3 years, while many original programmer and designer out long time ago
@@hafirenggayuda you are likely right, but 2-3 years is well more than enough time to course-correct on at least the superficials like the hideous character design.
I understand this thought, however. It's even worse that they took 8 years to push out this slop. It being in development for 8 years doesn't give it a free pass. It actually makes it more pathetic.
Bro just dropped a harder speech about video games than our currently sitting president has about anything in his whole term.
Who?
@@Dios_of_Autumn-1999the old creep PDF file Joe Biden

Better than any speech biden, trump, or Kamala or most high politicians combined have ever said in their careers.
Because this dude said nothing but truth, facts, love from the heart. The exact opposite of ANY political person on the national level
SODA!!!!!
These companies need to remember this: they need us to survive, not the other way around. Please listen to your fans! Not to activists.
I don't understand why everybody is so excited. Nothing will change. This was an original project, so now they'll just become even more focused on ruining well-known franchises, just like something I've loved for my entire life has been recently desecrated with DAI. But, because it's a well-known franchise, it has made money anyway. It'll just keep happening to all the stuff that has established fanbases.
🎉🎉🎉
I remember an entrepreneur telling this story of his mom. His mom observed a couple of young sales associates standing at the counter, chatting with each other.

@@Counterbalance_No doubt. After the corruption of Tolkien’s LotR, I understood why some people are gatekeeping their fandom. Let’s just enjoy this small victory for now.
This guy made me feel so much better today. I was depressed about all this going on for years, and this gentleman lifted my spirits.
I’m with him when I say “no more”.
Deadpool and Wolverine has made almost as much as Avengers. That movie changed the industry.
Phase 4 lost so much money that it deleted the profits of an entire Avengers movie.
Two male leads, loads of violence, giving the audience what they wanted, and that cast was diverse as hell. It just wasn't over-the-top BS representation. It was authentic.
There are going to be changes in Hollywood because of this. The next decade looks brighter.
This man dressed up like he's giving a Presidential speech addressing the nation, absolute respect for making this✊
And he sounded like it too! He actually did a better job than a lot of politicians from both parties.
@@blockmasterscott It helps when your telling the truth.
Babylon's Fall lasted longer than Concord.
All it took was one company losing millions and ruining their reputation. This is no mere victory, it’s a footmark. The beginning of our journey. Vast rewards and true suffering… we were all too familiar with the territory. Sony, may yet learn… but it came at a high cost. Never relent. Do not cease. Voice your desires, your expectations. Use your wallets wisely. Hit them where it hurts. We see progress, we push further.
Continue to strive, continue to fight. Continue… to speak. We are heard. We are loud. And we deserve respect.
This is our Stalingrad, our Midway. The stunning turning point on the hard road to victory. Stay the course, people.
Lmao not buying a shitty game shouldn’t make you feel like some kind of hero, especially when you people will be the first one to buy the new Black Ops game
Don't think for a second UbiSoft does not see the writing on the wall.
bro they will make more shitty games and people will still buy them, you are not a lenin-washington hybrid for not purchasing a game
Gamers proved that we are not "consumers", we are customers, voting with the power of our wallet.
Nope that’s not true, people will gladly spend money on the new call of duty game.
Not buying a shitty game that everyone knew would fail shouldn’t make you feel like some hero
I actually believe people are getting smarter about this (they are also getting older). Both ubisoft AAA games are selling like shit. dustborn never saw triple digits players, and games made for the customers are still thriving (wukong, elden ring dlc, palworld, etc...).
@@nerosr2393 Corpo business practices are becoming so terrible that even the normies are beginning to pay attention. There's a long ways to go, though.

Bro dressed like a corpo but speak like a resistant leader 😭
I may have to work as a professional but I am and always will be a gamer.
I love how devs/publishers keep forgetting that the "talentless freaks" are the ones buying their products. Keep attacking us and ignoring our wants, and Concord is a perfect example of what happens as a result.
When you find out that almost everyone is a freak... wake up!!! you are the freak!!!
Nope they’re not, concord failed cause the game was bad not cause « « gamers » » we’re offended when a random dev called people who hate on concord for political reason talentless freaks.
Also why do you say « devs/publishers » ? There is only one random dev who called people talentless freak on his personal twitter account, and he has absolutely the right to do that, he isn’t the front of the company he’s just someone working for them and has the right to say whatever he want about people who criticize concord for being woke.
@@ni9274He has the right to say it and we have the right to tell him he is wrong.
How does that not compute for you?
@jboyler1 The point is that the game failed because it's bad, not because a single dev call the players freaks.
@@ni9274 The game failed for a myriad of reasons, most of which have been listed and beaten to death. That the devs shat on their own player base was insult to injury but it certainly played a role and it would be remiss to ignore it as part of the lesson of what NOT to do.

That was honestly the best presidential speech I've heard in nearly a decade.
This is a good take. A lot of people elsewhere are saying "Sony/The games industry will learn nothing from this." Hard disagree. Sony can not drop 8 years and 250 mill down a hole and carry on like nothing happened. Careers will literally end over this. The last thing Sony will do is move on with Concord 2.0. They are definitely going to rethink their approach and adjust.
As they should.
I don't know, I've seen dumber shit. Squeenix burned money on NFTs and sold their most valuable Western IPs for the _eye-watering sum_ of fucking $300 million just a few years ago which is absurdly undervalued. That includes Tomb Raider which became one of the biggest AAA franchises practically overnight. I won't say anything about my personal preferences for the newer TR games, but they were objectively sales beasts. Earlier this year Amazon announced a whole TV series based on TR, of which Squeenix will never see a single damn cent. And it's all almost certainly because one of the oldest guys at the company had a tantrum and was mad that Final Fantasy wasn't as successful as it should be. If you account for the potential value of those IPs, there are easily several billion dollars Squeenix flushed down the toilet, for no other reason than they were lazy. $250 million compared to that seems like a drop in the bucket.
@@CrizzyEyes As nicely as I can put it, that is an awful comparison... There is a COLOSSAL difference between money definitively set on fire and burned to ash, and potential future dream money that may or may not even be earned. One is actually lost, the other is just not gained.
You could even come back years from now having been right in your predictions and it still wouldn't change this fact. Any sane person would prefer missing out on a million dollars over losing a million dollars they already had.
I think a lot of people who cried aboout the game having pronouns for characters like it's its biggest flaw and problem would still not play the game if the pronouns were removed or were even never there, they just won't admit it because they're hyperfocused on this one issue. I think it's pretty dumb to pretend like it was the game's only problem and to say everyone who suggests so is "coping or trying to avoid the real issue". Like, come the fuck on
@@SaturnineXTS I don’t think the woke/dei stuff had much to do with its failure at all. It had a major problem - it was a paid product in a sea of established F2P alternatives and that cascaded into another major problem which is that its gameplay design was generic and faceless. Asking people to take a chance on paid-entry mediocrity when free established success is readily available was a very poor decision. They needed to push Concord out there with some creative, crazy mechanics to turn heads and make people think about getting their wallets out, but they just copied Overwatch’s homework.
The IGN dig at the end was the cherry on top.
I am convinced this man is actually a hitman and game developing is just his side hobby.
Sony didn't even bother calling Concord's detractors far right bigots. That's rare for a corporation taking an L.
When does Sony itself ever do stuff like that? Maybe I missed something but let’s not confuse Sony the unfeeling megacorp with crazy Kotaku “journalists.”
@@user-dj9iu2et3r That's what I'm saying, they didn't. No way another company (like Disney) would not play that card.
Could you provide me with evidence of a video game studio ever calling people « far-right bigots » and blaming them for failure of a game ?
Also the game failed cause no one bought it, what far-right bigot say on the internet has literally no influence on the success or failure of a game.
@@sharksbreath7 it’s just a weird thing to say when it’s the most common occurrence lol. Disney did it… and?
@@ni9274 thank you
Ty for putting a professional voice to this shit. It's been going on for years now and now people are finally sick of it.
This dude's now running victory laps around Concord's death. I appreciate the hustle.
Nah, its a bloody disaster. Concord was shaping up to be a lolcow content creators could milk for at least 6 months, but I think Sony realized, rather quickly for their credit, that this game was a Reputation disaster every second it was online. Better to pull the plug, and let the internet find something else to farm for content. 😂
"We cannot afford to devolve into a culture that dances on the graves of those who tried, and failed."
You're wrong, we absolutely can. Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but Schadenfreude is delicious at any temperature.
"Diversity. Equity. Inclusivity. Those things matter."
No, they don't. Not at all. You're flat wrong here.
This. You simply cannot include someone based on ethnicity and or gender. Needs to be quality of their character
This is actually very well said
Ok anonymousskunk. I smell you
The diversity of games is what drives a game to evolve. Undertale is fucking phenomenal because it’s a god awesome game and the character inclusivity came second once you wanted to learn about the characters themselves and not forced onto the games narrative
@@speedysloth203 I disagree. I failed to see why Undertale was so special. I lost interest rapidly.

There are Mexican kids, right now, playing KoF and Metal Slug or watching DBZ. More than likely they don't know a single word of Japanese but they're all saying in unison: "wow this awesome!"
I guarantee there's not a single one crying in their sleep "why dont they look like MEEEEEE?!". If they wanted to see a Mexican on-screen they'll watch Telemundo or go outside
(Im Mexican btw)
Then again I’ve literally heard black content creators I respect say that it’s cool to get main characters that look like them.
So… what point are you trying to make?
@@user-dj9iu2et3rNo one genuinely cares, as a black person if there’s a random black guy forced into an environment where it doesn’t even make sense just for the sake of “RePrEsEnTaTiOn” it feels more racist and dumb than if it was just an all white cast.
That reminds me of something I've always heard: that the character of Speedy Gonzales is hugely popular among Hispanics, but White Progressives think he is a racial stereotype, so they protest against the use of the character. What the actual people want is irrelevent, White Progressives "know better."
@@user-dj9iu2et3rThen they should make those characters. I'm raising my (African) kids to make something of themselves.
They can't be raised to rely on everybody else to cater to them.
If AA's want representation in film, then make characters that are popular.
What they should not do is create arrogant, angry, characters that hate others and then demand that those characters be popular
@user-dj9iu2et3r Would wager that most of those content creators want good characters that happen to be black. Just making the character black does not make them good, and many of those creators recognize when they are being pandered to, just like anyone else.
Concord is a wake up call. Let‘s hope the industry hears it and does better and not stop funding of projects in fear of ending up like concord.
We want Games, not Activism. We don't care, we never have cared.
Make Good Games with Fun Characters, interesting Stories and Good Gameplay, Gamers will Buy.
If you don't, we won't. It's not rocket science.
This market is NOT the same as Movies, Comic Books, Tv and Films. Don't treat Gamers like other Fan groups, We are different and Hold more Power then Activists realize.
For 40 + Years Gamers criticize Games, so Devs improve the next project they work on. Or nowadays make a Patch to fix broken Gameplay, Glitches and other issues. If We didn't offer Critic, Games would not Change. Game Devs appreciate Feedback. I've personally worked with many Game Devs over the years that love hearing what People thought about their Games, Good or Bad.
Gaming and Game Culture is the only Media where Fans and Developers are equals. Because We are all Gamers and hopefully We ALL Love Games & our Culture of Gaming too.
We grew up playing these Games from the 80s, 90s,00s and wanted to make and play our own Cool Stuff. No other media listens to Fans or allows US the Power to topple Game Studios.
Voice your concerns, speak with your heart and Fight Bad Games and Bad Practices. Forever.
Well said.
Wow, I didn't expect such a serious video, man. Also, that final little tongue-in-cheek barb: chef's kiss. Perfect.
Thanks for watching. I know this one isn't fun like the other videos, but I'm aiming this towards the industry directly with a specific intent so I had to set the tone different to how I would normally do things.
@@sungrandstudiosever wonder If :
They make all these movies and games Bad on Purpose, and its not at all about the money, or even the agenda
@@fepethepenguin8287I’ve been wondering this too. There’s got to be a reason why Blackrock is pushing DEI so hard. Feels like it’s all part of a plan to divide the public and make us turn against these activists. Money has been flowing to the top, and these billionaires are trying to avoid another Occupy Wall Street scenario.
The audacity to charge $40.00 dollars for that quality of product is beyond insulting. Same price as the Elden Ring DLC and countless other amazing games.

Well, you should be glad you don't live in a country were minimum wage is around 250 dollars and a AAA game costs almost half of it due to insane abusive taxes and inflation.
I never thought while I was growing up in the 80s that we would start going backwards so many decades later all because of false declarations of the importance of enacting DEI.
Same. 🎉
As someone who has been a pro-consumer advocate for the last 20 years, and a gamer, the last year has made me so proud of my fellow gamers.
Consumers are the market, the power has always been yours.
Finally someone saying it out loud. I am an indie dev and I got a lot of flak over the years for saying this to different actors in the industry. "Positive" discrimination is still discrimination. Those DEI people are the new racists, always making it about race and reducing people to a skin color or a sexual preference, and in the end they made it worse for everyone. Can't wait for things to get back to normal, hopefully soon...
It's great to hear from you. You are right. We've have enough. It's time to take back the video game industry.
that IGN 7 out of 10 rating was a good touch.
7GN at its finest
Never forget EGM gave Herzog Zwei 4/10 because their reviewrrs were too retarded to understand it, and Edge magazine gave Doom 7/10 because you couldn't talk to the demons.
I can't believe some people believed this trainwreck was going to be the next big thing. Talk about being disconnected from reality.
I've seen people defend this game with some of the shallowest defenses I've seen
"I had fun" "it was fun for me"
And? You can have fun with 7th gen FPS shovelware and that won't change it was shovelware.
"People hating on Concord all have the same words it's like they're copying each other"
Seriously? I could say the same for it's defenders because I have not seen an original defense for this game beyond "I had fun" "the game is all right".
This game is probably their first gaming experience ever, as non-gamers rainbow members the game campaigns for. That's how I make it logical for such lackluster opinions.
The people who talked the most about concord are the people like this guy, most people already knew this would be a shit game and just ignored it until people like this guy try to make it about their own political agenda

Easily the most blown out of proportional melodramatic video i have seen, possibly in my life, and yet at the same time also possibly one of the most inspiring and apologetically true videos, with a message that really needs to be heard, both to show gamers that we really do have the power to affect change and also to show anyone who would listen that employing people and lifting people up and so on based on anything but merit, content of character, so on and so forth shouldn't stand, we can all agree it shouldn't have stood as long as it did the way it was, but changing the type of people we employ and uplift isn't a solution, especially once again to the detriment of others, it's another problem all over again, so like... Kinda hilarious but also kinda someone should be putting this on those billboard thingoes in major cities... Wild ride. Love your stuff.
The best way I can describe Sungrand is uncomfortably sincere. You keep expecting him to reveal that he's just trolling, but he never does.
This is truly a gaming legend
Me, standing in the back of the hall, rising from my chair (like everybody else):
Applause.
Standing Ovations.
We salute you, Sir.
Thank you. You all performed admirably.
They really looked at how Sega back away from Hyenas after the extremely bad reception and said to themselves "hell yeah I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move"
Ladies and gentlemen, we got'em
"But we didn't do shi-"
We got'em
aint that the truth, by simply doing nothing when this game came out, it failed. the game needs us to interact with it to be successful but we didn't do shit.
Doing nothing, also known as the GabeN strategy.
Valve wins again by... almost doing nothing this time because Deadlock is in development
@@TheDeadlockBuzzThe problem is using « us », you people do not represent gamer as a whole, you represent a small fraction of gamers and games could succeed without any of you people buying it
What matter is what normal gamers buy, and concord was just so bad that nobody bought it, this isn’t a new thing in the industry.
The proof that nothing changed will be the release of the new call of duty
@@ARStudios2000Bro haven’t you heard ? Deadlock character have pronouns exactly like concord character.
This mean you should hate on deadlock for being woke DEI trash, and you should hate on valve for being DEI propaganda center.
6:30 He ends with an IGN reference! 🫡🫡🫡🫡
what is the reference? I'm out of the loop
@@marinecorp179 IGN rated Concord 7/10 (and other journalists) and wrote a nice review about it. These reviews have clearly been paid by someone, in a way or another.
The 7/10 lol, I love it
IGN got caught slacking lol
@@quangnhat5345 or cashing checks hehe
This is such a big deal that this guy was like “I’m gonna have to put on my suit for this.” 😂
3:22 There is NO way to force "diversity, inclusivity, equity (marxist language and mindset btw)" without harming creative talent and the end result of it. Until you and others can stop making concessions for that in an almost apologetic way, nothing will truly change.
🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
I was working at my job in McDonald's and was able to find out from an Asmongold upload that Concord had fallen.
This should be seen in black and white and with a blur! The character is still interesting.
Underrated comment
Rip concord I will never forget
August 23, 2024 - September 3, 2024
Ngl, I will. Not like there was much time to make memories.😂
@@object-13 of the game? Yeah not really.
Of the developers' idiocy? Of their hubris?
Of the game "news" media working overtime to cement their position of "fuck gamers"?
We should remember
@@object-13 I’ll remember the 1 hour I spent playing the beta and how boring it was.
The intro to this video is like we where getting attacked by aliens legendary intro😂👌💯.
I think the comment on diversity is really interesting, and it’s true. Big companies don’t know how to make good diverse characters. Almost every popular character that’s part of a minority group I’ve experienced is from indie groups or other small teams. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
we need to celebrate this day as the true international gamers day
Hard to imagine a more significant day in the month of September for the United States. I’m thinking really hard and nothing even comes close.
Hold on, there might be something that comes close... it's getting even closer, but I can't quit put my finger on it...
Brother i love your presentation style so much. Always showing up looking sharp and professional, no bombastic overdone flair, just soft spoken and serious. But at the same time revealing with your quips that you have a great sense of humor.
Cant wait to see what you get into next
I forgot who said this but I remember "Thinking you and only you can change the world is arrogance."
you're becoming a hero in the industry, so much thanks for using your voice to make change! (ironic Dustborn reference) seriously, you have my respect!
Bruh, how well composed are these vids! Easy to digest, no harmful opinions, just the right amount of spice and cheese. That ending was *chef's kiss*
Calling the devs of Concord “radical extremists” is a bit of a harmful opinion. They just sucked at character design and made a dull game. Let’s relax.
Leave it to a fringe TH-camr to IMMEDIATELY resort to politicizing everything in order to gain a following.
Concord has finally been unburdened by what has been.
Concord was very quantum, very modern for this era.
Bro, chills.. literally chills. I would have followed you to the heart of Mordor without a shred of doubt in my soul. Congratulations on being one of the few who can still represent the voice of many who cannot or do not know how to, in such an epic way. I don't know you, but I can be sure, that you know us all.
September 3 - This should be made 'Gamer Day' and never let it be taken over again by people who come into our house and poo on the floor.
From DEI to DIE... More power to the RGBQLEDTV+4K Community!
DEI is intended to fail, its entire purpose is to suppress class awareness, in which it has been hugely successful.
Excuse me, hi. Fellow talentless freak here, aka a gamer. I would like to nominate you for president of video games after this well thought out speech as the voice of the people... that is all.
I mean I agree. It's not great that we have to celebrate "victories" that are essentially failed games, but these failures are being celebrated because we've been gaslit that our complaints are unfounded.
Everyone has repeatedly said that including diverse characters aren't a problem, it's filling out a checkbox to make a game that's the problem.
Can we just have some unbridled (uncensored and mature) creativity by inspired creators make some fun and aestheticly stylish games again?
If you have to ask a question like "Why is her armor like that?" or, "Why does the guy have to blow everything up?" the answer should always be, "Because it's cool and fun".
Exactly 100% this.
This!!!
I love your style bro. You’re dry humor actually just really drives at home makes it hurt just a little bit more when you criticize something and I absolutely love it. Keep up the good work, bro.
“They hire based on the color of someone’s skin” I’m black and I hate when they do that, people should be hired based on their experience and potentials not their ethnicity or their deviation
damn, brother just made the braveheart speech obsolete...
GAMER FREEDOM!!!
What an exceptionally articulate, mature, and well reasoned response to the situation. The world needs more people like you.
I've now officially been alive in two of the worst gaming disasters of all-time periods with ET and Concord. I feel really special 🤣
We grew up in the best time 👍
@@gowankommando Yup before everything in west went to utter crap :-)
@@SamM_Scot We have a flood of would be useful idiots opting into social engineering society through entertainment by pushing "the MESSAGE" whatever that means. Look we are all people and all we want is good entertainment. Why can't we have a return to form for traditional storytelling. Take us to a place far far away to lands and places we're never seen tell us a story. No they can't all these modern writers can do is make poor works or write up a propaganda story for whatever ideology is paying them for it. All i can say is its boring and too well played out by every other hack whose tried it.
you've been alive for pretty much every gaming disaster tbh 👴
Hey, give some credit to ET, it was made 1 person in weeks, that is pretty impresive even if the results where horrible, and it didnt cost 200 million dollars to be made
Fact is, if Concord was actually a really good game, that would shut up all the people that are criticizing the character design. Gamers don't want to be activists. They were dragged into it kicking and screaming because their games started to suck more than normal.
I was celebrating my Birthday, and it made it all the sweeter
My birthday is tomorrow. The 4th. This is the best present I've ever gotten. Thank you to everyone who could make this happen. You're the REAL heros.
On September 3rd, I was at work welding when I decided to briefely checkout TH-cam and saw the awesome news.
Someone needs to hack the time square billboards to broadcast this
came here from Asmon's channel and I'm making sure of dropping a like and leave the video playing again! Great video!
I'll convince my government to declare sept 6 as a national holiday.
You sir! You just designed and deliver the best "UP YOURS" speech to all those AAA studios and journalist, with base and respect. So glad i found this channel
A Game for everyone, is a game for no one. This should be 2024 slogan
It was a game for the modern audience, all 12 of them.
correction: a game for everyone is a game for everyone.
a game for non gamer is a game for non gamer.
Meh. I’d argue Ghost of Tsushima is a game for everyone that is fucking sick.
Same with GoW
my brother your words made me feel so proud i teared up. keep on rockin in the free world!
As a Talentless Freak I'm proud of helping Concord failed
To the three-piece suits who would fund this atrocity; I say no more *money*
Gold.
I was visiting my family when I read the news. I closed my eyes and sighed in relief. “So there’s still hope after all.” The day was made all the better afterwards, and I could swear the sun shone a bit brighter.
