    Well since all multiplayer greed-fueled, whale funded games deserve to die, watching another one eating shit is a beautiful thing to see.

    The first time I even heard of the game was a few days ago, when I saw an article posted here on Lemmy about it.

    Maybe they could try something new instead of just rehashing the battle Royale/hero thing. It’s been fuckin’ years of the same shit. They copy this and that from the first big hit and just ignore any and all novelty that would make them actually stand out.

    I know nothing about this game at all, but I will now judge it based entirely off the preview graphic on this post.

    Hmmmm looks like an uninspired hero shooter with insufferable characters.

    Anyone know how close I was?

    How do I even test the game if it won’t work on any of my Linux machines? Anyway, after reading this, I am fully ready to forget it ever existed.

    Oh boy, did Sony release a new banger that’s the same game repackaged for the thousandth time?!

    I am so excited, I definitely don’t have Sony blocked on steam along with all their in-house production companies. Nuh-uh, I would never block all these awesome companies for altering deals weeks post-sale.

    No siree, I would never navigate to their steam pages and gleefully click the block producer button ever. Not even once, as a joke.

    It’s impossible to predict which new multiplayer games will be successful and which ones won’t. It’s so risky for developers to even try making them nowadays. Even games that seem successful at first (like The Finals and XDefiant) struggle to maintain much interest over time.

    Anyways, I like Overwatch but I’ve gotten bored with it over the past few years, so I’m potentially interested in Concord. I’ll keep an eye on it. (I was aware that there was a beta, but I thought it was pre-order only so I didn’t check it out)

      It’s impossible to predict success, but it’s pretty easy to predict failure. Copycat games don’t work.

    This “crowded market” meme for hero shooters gotta go.

    The main reason this game flopped is its ugly character designs. People are willing to pay money for a good game. But when you purposely make the designs hilariously ugly, this is what you get.

    We gotta move away from this trend.
