It instantly falls apart when you say things like, "Concord failed because of WOKE, unlike Overwatch 2 and Valorant, which are famously uh... LBGT unfriendly... hmm..." I've seen pitiful attempts at squaring this circle like "Concord is MORE woke/TOO woke!" which doesn't mean anything, I've yet to see their wokes per unit measurement. I've seen the slightly more plausible sounding, "The introductory marketing was more explicitly diversity focused than other popular games, which added that stuff later," but that also falls apart when you recognize that one of the game's largest problems is that people didn't know about it and didn't look into it if they ever heard about it. The idea that the entire audience received a certain marketing message that they didn't like was extremely different from the reality, that the vast majority of the audience did not perceive the game at all, in any way.
My read on it was: the marketing rollout was poorly done (nothing to do with diversity, it was about previewing a multiplayer game as if it was a single player or co-op campaign, which is a current sore spot in marketing, created from stuff like Suicide Squad). That poor marketing led to low player counts for the beta playtesting (which was also very close to the launch). The beta impressions were so-so to bad, which created even less hype. Finally, two competing games (Deadlock and Marvel Rivals) had better received playtests close to Concord's launch and were both free to try, while Concord demanded a paid entry fee. All of these combined led to the very low player counts at launch, which then becomes a story that makes the game an object of scorn for those who HAVE heard of it.
As I left it at that
Sony also decided that rather than trying to right the ship with clearer advertising before launch, that they'd just do absolutely no advertising at all.
Absolutely no one I know in real life had ever heard of the game until it became a meme for being recalled and shuttered after a week.
i just like to be situated
The first time I heard of Concord was the trailer that made it look like a single player GotG type game. And then the hero shooter reveal came, and basically everyone I talked to about it (which was, granted, on these forums) was a near universal "lol no". So I was interested for all of maybe 3 minutes.
Pronounced conkerd, like it has been visited by a certain squirrel.
Sad to hear that it has been shut down.
But it's probably about time.
I didn’t even know Concord was out until the day after its release
That’s all on Sony far as I’m concerned

Crazy impressive how much he's achieved in only a few short months. It started out as just a tech demo with only the castle grounds just to see if it was possible, and now he's started building out the levels as well.
Hopefully this will see a release (if that is indeed his intent) before the big N notices and fires off a cease and desist etc.
i was just about to post this, highlight of the vid for me.

Another good one from Hildegard
Nothing will ever top when I was doing pets at around 1am a woman walks up to me saying while looking at a watch it's Sept 19th Christmas already? The mocking tone of her voice still stays with me
It's basically info for people that don't know about all the BS
They got away with it. It's so fucking absurd, the governor and election commission head were both on Bush's campaign team.
Also like a half million people's votes in florida were uncounted because of shit election practices?
I want to scream.
God damn just hearing the dialogue gets me psyched. The writing on that series was so much better than it had any right to be.

some of his conclusions about hostages and such are a bit much for me. Also the uprising couldve targeted more military outposts more exclusively and achieved the same goals. The same amount of humiliation and baiting of isreal, and the same righteous revolution, the military posts they did target were overrun after all. There was no need from an uprising perspective or any of the frameworks he covers to target civilians directly for executions.
