Concord: An Unprecedented Failure
Alas, poor Concord, we hardly knew thee.
That's right, Sony's next big foray into the wild world of live service shooters, is no more. And the real kicker? It barely lasted two weeks.
This week, Zak and Aaron sit down to discuss the unprecedented failure of Concord. In addition to enumerating some of the factors that led to the AAA game's unceremonious sunsetting (namely questionable character design and a general lack of innovation in a decade-old genre), our intrepid hosts also speculate on the title's tentative future.
Just for good measure, they also spend some time dunking on internet imbeciles who blame this mess on Concord being "too woke."
Please, enjoy.
