If concord had said Xbox when you booted it up, this would be the only thing talked about for weeks. The media treating Sony with kid gloves is insane

I’m so sorry! But I couldn’t resist!

Sony when releasing Concord:

People talking about Concord

Here comes Concordia

Just saw the Concord thing on Reddit and I thought it must be some kind of joke. This is mindblowing. Just completely unprecedented for a first party AAA game. Did it even last a week?

Lmfao, that tweet itself is warring! Putting Hellblade in the same breath as concord is exactly what I’m talking about!

This guy is trying to be funny, pretending like Hellblade 2 wasn’t on the top 50 most played list when it released.

When Xbox fails ā€˜everyone point and laugh!’

When Sony fails - ā€˜nobody wins :(’

I just want journalists to stay consistent in their coverage. What happened to Concord is really sad, especially for the devs, so yeah it is not funny to put the game down even further. At the same time, I don’t remember them being so kind towards games like Redfall. I would say, some were really happy the game was not doing great.

I think he’s trying to balance it for all platforms by stating each has one ā€œfail,ā€ even though the timing and definition of fail varies are against him. Basically, should have been focus on one platform. Period.

Half the discussion in certain venues was trying to compare Concord to Starfield. Like lol what? You can be as personally disappointed in Starfield as you want to be, that’s your opinion and it’s legit. But to paint it as a failed game at all, let alone a failed game that belongs in the same universe as the Concord discussion, is console war 101.

People trying to compare this to Cyberpunk, Redfall, Anthem… even Final Fantasy XIV 1.0… this is just on a whole other level than any other game ā€œfailureā€ however you want to define it. Even Brink and Battleborn were nowhere near as DOA as this game was.

Think I’ve already said he’s a bit of a prick on here before but I’ll repeat it: what a prick.

Now it’s suddenly ā€œall sidesā€ but he delights when Xbox is having a bad time.

Also the Xbox fans aren’t celebrating anywhere near as hard as the PlayStation ones - most are cheering the failure of Sony’s live service strategy, and the toxic ones for other reasons too

Well…

This day has been crazy…

Personally, ending Concord is the better decision. Game isn’t going to do anything so why keep it alive plus they’re refunding everyone so no loss outside of personal time. Sony should make Firewalk a support studio for Bungie and their other live service games since they probably all need help one way or the other.

I ventured onto Threads (as Twitter is now a Nazi-infested hellhole) to see the reaction to all the different news today.

And in amongst the usual trending stuff and news about gaming, there were more ā€œwhat’s this? / How can I treat this?ā€ questions than I expected, most seemed to be American.

For example one ā€œI’ve a big red bite mark type thing swelling on my forehead, pain radiating down to my jawā€ with pictures, and all I’m thinking is ā€œgo see your GP or go to A&E, don’t wait and ask people online!ā€

Really makes me glad to live in a country with free healthcare - as I can’t imagine insurance (or lack of) / insurance excess being so bad you instead choose to crowdsource your medical advice!
