- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'm OOtL on this one. What/who is/was Concord? And what happened to it/them?
Another Overwatch clone that looks generic, and was shut down after a month bc of low player count. The company agreed to give everyone refunds.
2 weeks
Sony released a more realistic looking big budget Overwatch clone. It was fine, but nobody cared, because nobody wants a $40 live service Overwatch clone where all the characters have similar silhouettes. They spent 8 years making an okay game for nobody. If they'd done something different with the same basic characters and gunplay it could have maybe been good. They didn't though, so estimates suggested they sold about 25,000 copies worldwide before pulling it from their store and refunding everyone.
Ontop of all of that, it was also just clearly a corporate cash grab where the people who made it either didn't feel strongly about it or they didn't get to put their soul into it as much as they wanted.
It's not just bland, it's a cold and calculating kind of bland. Like being served nutrient paste, but it's not even flavourless instead they added artificial banana flavour so now it's both depressing and makes you feel sick.
A new shooter that Sony launched a couple weeks ago and have subsequently cancelled and is offering refunds. So basically an astronomical waste of money.
About 100 million. Probably more, since they had a whole thing with animated episodes to tell the lore already produced.
Sucks for the devs, but it warms my heart to see Sony take a spiked dildo in the ass.
really sucks for the devs. 8 years of development for a game that lasted 6 days.
Try putting that on a resume
