Earlier story…

https://thatparkplace.com/concord-developer-addresses-massive-backlash-to-game-after-it-was-revealed-it-pushes-pronoun-nonsense-and-features-dei-character-designs/

Firewalk Studios appeared to confirm rumors that the company was shrugging off the massive backlash the game received after it was revealed during a PlayStation State of Play presentation that the game pushes pronoun nonsense and DEI character designs.

In the PlayStation State of Play, Firewalk Studios’ Kim Kreines, who is the Director of IP, revealed a number of the characters for the game including 1-Off, Vale, Lennox, Emari and more. Each of the characters that she shows off features the character’s name, its role, and then their preferred pronouns. Many of the characters have clearly been created to adhere to woke, DEI character designs. One such character is Emari who is an obese black woman.
Another one of the characters named Lark has “undecided” in the location where the other characters’ “preferred pronouns” are.

It was always destined to flop given that it was a $40 game that copies half a dozen free to play options and does absolutely nothing better than any of them.

It just didn't really help that the character designs sucked, the game play sucked, the marketing sucked, and the forced game journalist articles pushing it sucked. Add all that together and you have a 100 million dollar game that can barely get a few hundred players online.

Consider this: Sony had like a dozen hero shooters in development and decided to cancel half of them to focus on the others... this was one of the ones that survived that cut. Not only that, it was the first out of the gate and presumably the best they could muster as an opening salvo. Which leads one to believe Sony is probably going to cancel another 3 or 4 of these games to stem the money hemorrhage.

Secondly someone told me Concord is putting up the same numbers as Suicide Squad Kill Rocksteady, which also leads one to believe the same idiots who bought that bought this.

Playstation numbers would have to be heavily supporting Concord in order for Concord to even get close to Suicide Squad. Suicide Squad maxed out above 13k on Steam on launch, Concord couldn't even break 700. This is so much worse than Suicide Squad.

Here's the thing - people don't want to play (or watch) characters like themselves. They want characters that reflect what they wish they were, or pretend that they are, or see themselves as. Entertainment is for suspending disbelief, not reinforcing reality.

Nope, it's worse than Suicide Squad. Frankly, they put out a hero shooter game well after the Hero shooter fad died, and nobody wants it. It's not really an issue of wokeness. That will inherently alienate the player base, but there are plenty of leftist gamers. They aren't interested either.

Dustborn is so over the top that it's basically a giant shitpost. I've seen allegations that it was meant to be satire. I don't believe it, but it may as well be.

Imagine being in charge of a multi million dollar game and saying, yeah, that seems alright. Ship it. Poe's law is at work here and if one didn't know better they would wonder if it wasn't ironically terrible.

The "evil" fascist city guard shooting them down is the highlight of that clip for sure.

X/S and PS5 will be my last generation of gaming for consoles.  Even more so if they do away with being able to buy games and you can only play what they offer through streaming.

The super annoying thing is that apparently a bunch of the PVP devs for Destiny 2 were working on Concorde - the PVP play aspect of it is apparently awesome as D2's PVP is one of the best PVP experiences in a video game out there...(notwithstanding weapon nerfs and shit but I mean in game feel, weapon control, stuff like that).

It could have been awesome. Then someone decided "let's make it a fun game to play, AND make it for Reddit people!" ...and here we are.

Plenty of good games. These 2 are just making waves for how woke they are and they'll make 0 money.

Gotta look outside of lots of AAA studios and there are still great games being released each year.
