Concord has been dealt a terrible hand.
It’s hard enough to convince players in 2024 to try an entirely new live service game when the cost of entry is simply the time it takes to download the game, but trying to get someone to pay $40 before they know if they even like the game or not seems like an impossibility.
Not only that, but Concord’s community sentiment has been deeply toxic from the minute it was properly unveiled. The game has (unfairly) become a poster child for Sony’s perceived pivot away from prestige single-player titles to live service trends, something the loyal PlayStation audience, loudly, vocally despises.
