I know there were some rumors that the game might get re-launched free-to-play, but I feel like that was just going to cause Concord to flop twice. The game already had a free open beta that nobody played, relaunching now would just be throwing more good money after bad.
It’s a shame to shut down the studio though, especially when none of it seems like their fault. They delivered the shitty overwatch clone corporate asked for, and now they’re going to lose their jobs for fulfilling the brief. Meanwhile the dumbass execs who wanted Concord get to keep failing upwards.
Funny how the key stakeholders are never on the chopping block, huh?
That Concord episode of Secret Level is going to be pretty awkward.
Wow, that letter to employees was even soulless by corporate non-apology standards.
