No, only about a third of that. The numbers were smaller before they announced it. Now it’s just people clowning on it or trying to be #1 in the world before it shuts down.
They will realize it about 2 weeks after their head executives apply for foodstamps because they burned their own company so badly that there is no money to pay their golden parachutes.
Woke political devs don't care. They will push their vision regardless of the audience. We all know that straight men are the majority paying audience for gaming but they refuse to pander to straight men for political reasons
Other game companies need to take notes. People will only play your game if there’s something in it that’s worth playing. If your entire focus is on DEI and not on actual good character design or interesting gameplay then no one is going to play it. People play video games because they want to have fun, not because they want to see a diverse range of people. If they really want to see that they can just go walk around a Walmart.
also "people" don't play games to be criticized with virtue signaling we play games to be entertained but "activist" make games that they would rather play instead of the majority
@@AnonymationOfficial ikr the people who claim all this nonsense dont even play these. I mesn wtf was going through their head making this ass game. Where bloodborne on pc where bloodborne remastered, fk you sony
All they had to do was offer DEI as an option and still have the traditional half naked super hot female characters and the incredible buff male characters and everything else and let the player choose what they want. If it was a choice, noone would complain. Games can do this unlike movies where you can’t choose who the protagnoist is before you start the movie.
Who is funding this shit? Who is convincing the company execs, or rather, who is paying them off to force this garbage? Let's be honest. A few decades ago, games were made by people who were passionate about gaming. Then it was bought out by scummy executives that pushed shit like microtransactions, season passes, and loot boxes. That was clearly a grab for more money. Now? Its not about the money, it's about sending a message.
It's esg money, they take the esg loans because they have amazing terms except for the fact that they're forced to hire sweet baby Inc type consultants who inevitably ruin the project with their activism. I can only imagine how sad those people's lives are too where they're constantly focused on weird identity politics and representation of certain groups in everything they see instead of realizing that art is a great way to see something from other people's perspective so there isnt a need to represent every type of identity in every single thing.
Those very same executive boards that have been for fully staffed by DEI highers themselves are the dopes that spearhead the woke garbage like this. The government saying you need 35% or more representatives of minority communities on your board, that's who.
@@DarthAlphaTheGreatgive a single example of a game which is purely focused on a woke ideology that’s actually been successful please. I can’t think of a single one.
@EchoAccord where's the equality in giving someone a job because they are whatever color, dosent even matter, as opposed to someone who may very well be a much better person for the job? Dont bait people. It makes the people you pretend to represent look stupid along with you. That's not very cool.
Sony bought Firewalk for this game. Let that sink in. Not only did they think this would be a banger, that indicates the direction Sony intends to continue to take PlayStation in the future.
I can imagine the financial officers at Sony freaking out and screaming at the board meeting, and the DEI officer reminding them that profits come second to getting the message out.
If this was all under Jim Ryan then there may be an out with a ray of hope but if this was sanctioned by the new guys then yeah Sony is screwed for the foreseeable future.
@@Steroyd666 There's more. Not just wokeness but they aren't giving up on live service either. Gamers have tolerated that too long and its here to stay now. It takes years before a game is even ready to be shown off. It'll get worse. If I were a betting man, I'd say the damage is done. Betelgeuse may have already collapsed, we just haven't seen the light from the supernova yet.
This wasn't a video game but contemporary edutainment published by cultists. "They" didn't learn a business lesson. They learned their tactics didn't work, if anything.
@@OrenTubing It wont end up in my failure museum. Having Duke Forever, the PS4 Cyberpunk disk and the physical copy of Mighty No. 9 is enough thank you lol.
I suppose that the only lesson the devs will take is not to put new IP to force DEI, that means that the corruption of established IPs will continue further.
Too busy marching on the street, parting in the club or behind their phones/computers to sell their propaganda, no time for games. They are like those customers went to a restaurant and demand how their steak is supposed to be cooked, and as it's done to their desire they tell the chief they are allergic to beef and walked away.
Go woke, go broke. Seriously, that seems to be part of why it failed. The reveiws were quite positive and people liked the gameplay. It's just the price and character design that caused this game to fail. The same thing happened in overwatch when they released Venture, a character designed to appeal to DEI. That character is regarded as the ugliest character and hasnt gotten any ingame item for months.
I don’t know where you get your opinions from, but the majority of people I’ve seen discussing Venture don’t see a problem with their design. Blizzard hasn’t released cosmetics for them because they’re busy farming the cashcow trifecta(Mercy, Kiriko, Ana). No cosmetics have come out for Juno either in the weeks after her release, despite being considered “attractive” by the majority of the playerbase.
@@katherinebotIt’s you that has zero clue. There are post all over the internet talking how woke and terrible she looks. It’s all over TH-cam as well. You are talking out of your rear end.
Wonder what they'll use to try and recover those losses. Raising the prices on other games and/or accessories aren't going to be taken well if they try that.
Not just the monetary loss, but I'm pretty sure this is a new record for a game getting shut down. This is just impressively bad and they deserve every bit of it.
What I don't get is that Sony sees how woke failed projects did for Disney, yet someone gaslit one of them into thinking that the issues is us straight heterosexual fans and not the product itself. Sony is being woke and going broke.
This has to be some kind of record. This garbage of a game has only been around for about 2 weeks, and not only are the people who played this game getting refunds, but the servers are going to get shut down.
There are games that died quicker, but for a triple A games that took 8 years to make with over 200+ millions of dollars spend? It's one of a kind, and if this woke crap keeps influence the gaming industry? We will see more and more in the future.
If you really look into what those people really are, you will know they will never play games, any sort of games, all they do is whine and complain, always demand from others yet won't give away any, yet they believe they are the right ones, a hypocritical narcissist at it's very peak form.
The last official content released for the game was the character profile for the black woman in the red coat with the purple hairballs, "she" is confirmed trans. It's a dude.
I'm surprised they didn't at least try to make it free to play and make some money with microtransactions or something. Like they spent hundreds of millions of dollars and went through 8 years of production to run a game for less than a month Wtf?
@@luunhat2721 yes but having it free would bring people in to at least try it. And maybe just maybe they could build an audience off of. And then maybe make some money back over time with subscriptions and microtransactions. At least a producer or publisher might think of it as a viable option. I know they never had an audience and won't even months down the line. But they clearly have been blind to that for awhile now
25,000 copies sold... refunded. In the end, 25,000 - 25,000 means 0 sales... not bad for a game that took 8 years to develop and cost over 100 million dollars. It will probably be re-released in F2P.
Some people saying it didn't fail only cause its woke. Im now like, but the character design you say is a major issue was made that way cause of the woke ideology. Theres a reason all new Apex legend characters arent as good or iconic as the OG.
my bro bought this game and didn't get to play because he works a lot. he got refunded his money and didn't realize it was because concord shut down lmfao.
I don’t really care about the “DEI requirement characters” I’m more upset about the price coupled with all the micro transactions, all for a game that isn’t all that special in the first place. Just kinda shows there’s not much heart behind it. If all the characters were white men, I’d still think it was garbage
83 current people are upset
Some content creators are upset because they can no longer trash on how bad it is
No, only about a third of that. The numbers were smaller before they announced it. Now it’s just people clowning on it or trying to be #1 in the world before it shuts down.
How many of these people are bots and/or dead lol
AND COUNTING.
Ah the modern audience few handful activists and bots
When will they realise that the "modern audience" they are pitching this shit at doesn't exist.
They will realize it about 2 weeks after their head executives apply for foodstamps because they burned their own company so badly that there is no money to pay their golden parachutes.
They only exist on twitter lol
Oh they exist, they just won't play those games which was meant for them as well.

@@riceball7021Can't afford it because their unemployed and most them has mental health problems.
A common house fly has a lifespan of 30 days, Concord has been out for two weeks. A fly has outlived a triple A game.

Hate didn't kill this game.
Lack of interest did
Yes. Lack of interest caused by prejudice which is somehow related to hate anyway. Let’s be upfront about it.
Love it. Time for sweet baby inc and the DEI bs to go away.

Star wars outlaws will fail too, i don't think it sold far more than 100k copies so far.
They are literally just ripping those die hard star war fans off, a star war game that has no light saber, no force, no jedi?
Exactly what was suppose to happen
when the camera cut to this guy I thought he was a concord character too
Which one?
A comment I read managed to say both "This game isnt for you evil racists" and "How dare y'all not play this game?" in the same parragraph.
This is what you get when your company invests in a DEI department. Just hire engineers and let them work FFS
They should make it free to play
The Professor has some explaining to do
Sony is PISSED 😂

Everything woke turns to shit.

"Destruction, Exclusion and Intervention"

Can CEOs please fire and stop makimg DEI games please
If the character designs are just like the first descendant it would be different 😂😂
200m loss? Black rock is like pfft we ll make that back in 14hrs on to the next some game
When rule34 doesn't apply to your game. Just pull the plug.
Fortunately I'm not wasting my money on this game, instead spend my money on Black Myth Wukong & it's worth it
the craziest part of this is that concord’s shut down time is now used as a unit of measurement
i think a redesign on the characters will go along way
It’s a huge win against woke-ism
Concord characters look like those people that attend lbtq parade
Get woke, go broke! 🤣
Their target audience is not gamers.
From what I heard it’s more the gameplay being dull. Lots of other games have a diverse cast and pull it off
That cast doesn't have pronouns listed and isn't ugly. Bother to look up what the devs have said.
their kind of people didn't even play this game, they were focusing on their own "thing".
Some people saying it didn't fail only cause its woke.
Im now like, but the character design you say is a major issue was made that way cause of the woke ideology.
