>>21141155>Bros, I think we are witnessing the beginning early stages of the second video game market crash.I'm not sure if it's quite there yet. Some genres and studios from some countries are doing very well. It is becoming clear that western studios cannot throw hundreds of millions at horseshit -including anti-consumer horseshit that is practically propaganda- and expect it to sell. Concord's dead on arrival peak player count of a whopping 697 players (six hundred and ninety-seven) total, on launch weekend, was very entertaining to me. For anons who don't follow vidya, Concord was a project Sony funded also for an estimated 200 million. It was filled with identity politics and ugly-on-purpose character design, based around a dated game style that even at the time of its peak was fairly obviously going to be a short lived fad. This game's sales haven't just disappointed. NOBODY bought this game. Regarding that 697 number, a game with this much backing and this much budget from a publisher this big would have expected that number to be in the tens of thousands, minimum.
