I'm almost certain the only reason Concord has players is because of social media incessantly talking about it. The only reason I know of the game is because of social media.
They'll keep this in rotation like starfield why make an effort to highlight actually good games when you can give AAA companies the exposure instead. After all they have lots of money.
yeah a overwatch clone, even a really well made overwatch clone, 8 years too late and $40 too expensive... Was always going to have a really rough time
Plus... Dollar store guardians of the Galaxy vibes didn't help.
Price plays a role too, only 17,55 Euros for Squirrel here and Concord 40 Euros, plus 20 for Deluxe.
I was interested into Concord, not gonna lie. But even if I wanted to buy and play the game, accept their terms of usage and create a Sony account, its not playable on Linux. And to be honest, I'm thankful for not being able to waste my money and time.
That’s what happens when you mix a pile of abusive industry practices with an overall bad and iterative game that doesn’t bring anything new to the genre
The gameplay doesn't look bad to me, I am interested into it. It has way bigger problems, like the unpopular character styles and looks. But what do you mean by "abusive industry practices"? I like the idea of paying upfront and getting the whole game, way better than a Free to play model to me. But I guess that approach isn't working in today's world.
