-looks at roster of characters-

They... they want to make money on this game?

Silly devs. Everyone knows a hero shooter nobody wants to make porn of ain't gonna make it.

[Oyster Sauce]

Let's guess the SteamCharts peak player count. I'm thinking 1333.

I'm on a real losing streak here

[Shillitron]

The real appeal of this game is getting to murder all of these

[Brother Chad]

Guess we found our modern audience, this and Stillborne both have about the same follower numbers...

[UltraFan123]

5,000 is still more than I expected tbh.

[1998]

What I find interesting is that Stillborn even has slightly more followers, 5849, but way less conversions. I always thought these ratios are supposed to be pretty predictable.

People are saying that this game only cost 100 million to make. No way did this **** heap only cost 100 million. Like all Sony games this game had massively inflated budget and was probably around 200-300 million to make. What shocks me isn't the budget but the fact that Sony took one look at these character designs and said; "Looks good!" These character designs feel like they are from a mentally deranged Tumblr blogger's fever dream. Nobody wants to play something that is aesthetically unpleasing to the eyes.

[gerey]

No way did this **** heap only cost 100 million.

8 years in development, studio located in the US, the production values of the cutscenes and the general cost of developing a modern, graphically intensive game. I agree, no way did this turd cost a mere 100 million.

700 players on launch isn't a flop, it's being stillborn. It's going to be hilarious if Sony is forced to fund the 2 to 3 seasons of content they had promised, ballooning the budget even further.

I assume the issue is that bots don't buy games.

Dustborn had a steam page for a much longer period of time prior to release.

The pure ecstasy in knowing a **** developer making a **** game losing 100 million dollars is nearly orgasmic.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer studio.

The 100 million dollars went to pay the employees who made it.

Correct and I’m gleefully waiting to the inevitable layoffs for such a colossal failure of a launch.

[Silvanus]

If you ever have any doubt that publishers are genuinely ********, just remember that "Overwatch but more woke. Give me 100 million USD" has been a successful pitch multiple times.

At least 40% of that money went to consultants and non-productive managers. Maybe more.

They all got paid while they were making it and they'll all find new jobs to do it again.

Imagine how much money a crass, foul-mouthed, and based (but technically adept and well crafted) Overwatch would make...
Everything in the industry (except the production teams) is screaming this fact to developers right now, but they either can't see it, or just won't do it.

[KOS-MOS]

I wish I was working at Sony right now, just to watch this shitshow directly from the source. This is so funny

[gerey]

Is Concord the biggest flop in gaming history?

I would assume not, but I can't really think of another project that is (rumored) to have cost cca. 300 million, flopped this spectacularly and is unlikely to ever make the money back.

They all got paid while they were making it and they'll all find new jobs to do it again.

I'm glad, actually. They need to keep hiring these ******* and allow them to ruin more expensive projects, and keep doing it until the whole Western industry collapses under the weight of their retardation.

Hyenas was Sega's highest budget game ever and they canned it before release

Yeah, but that one cost cca. $100 million. Still a good lesson Sega won't soon forget, but Concord is on another level. Sony, in their infinite wisdom, actually bought the studio that was making Concord.
