Woke Journos Melt Down as Concord Gets Shut Down...

In a shocking turn of events, Concord, the highly anticipated game, has officially been pulled offline, marking one of the most catastrophic failures in the gaming industry. Despite the hype surrounding its launch, Concord PS5 and PC sales were abysmal, leading to massive refunds being issued to all customers. This unprecedented move highlights how Concord woke elements and a failed connection with the gaming community led to its downfall.

The response from the gaming media has been nothing short of a meltdown. Prominent figures like Jason Schreier from Bloomberg were quick to defend the game, with Schreier claiming that "every time a live service game with no hook or strong word of mouth fails to penetrate an oversaturated market, the most annoying people on the planet will be there to blame diversity." This narrative is echoed by others in the establishment gaming media, who continue to push the idea that criticism of Concord woke content is unfounded.

Following a launch riddled with criticism, the developers at Firewalk Studios issued an apology to fans, but the damage was already done. Concord PS5 gameplay failed to resonate, leaving gamers frustrated with a title that seemed more focused on pushing a woke agenda than delivering quality gameplay. The result? Concord is being taken offline starting September 6, 2024, as the developers scramble to “explore options” for the game’s future.

The game’s downfall has been met with an outcry from journalists across the industry. Ash Parrish from The Verge quote-tweeted Schreier, urging everyone to “tap the F out of this sign,” while Kotaku’s Alyssa Mercante and others parroted the same excuses, blaming the failure on everything but the game’s actual content. These journalists are desperate to shift the narrative, but the reality is clear: Concord flop was inevitable, driven by poor design choices and an overemphasis on woke messaging.

As Concord makes headlines for all the wrong reasons, it joins the ranks of woke Hollywood and woke Disney disasters. With over $200 million reportedly lost, Sony’s decision to cease all sales and wipe Concord from digital shelves highlights the magnitude of this failure. Gamers who purchased Concord PS5 or PC editions via the PlayStation Store, Steam, or Epic Games Store will receive refunds within 30-60 days.

Video game journalists like Tamoor Hussain from GameSpot tried to argue that Concord was “clearly well-made,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The game’s ugly characters, generic gameplay, and lack of innovation were a recipe for disaster. Even Forbes writer Paul Tassi, a known fan of Concord, struggled to cope with the game’s failure, admitting that it only made around $1 million before being shut down.

The lack of unique selling points, coupled with woke trash content, doomed Concord from the start. Even with eight years of development, Concord gameplay PS5 couldn’t compete with giants like Overwatch and Valorant. The final product failed to stand out in a crowded market, leaving it as one of the most significant failures in PlayStation history.

As Concord fades into history, the gaming industry is left with a harsh lesson: listen to your audience or face the consequences. The Concord PS5 trailer might have promised a galaxy of excitement, but in the end, Concord characters and pronouns Concord became symbols of a project out of touch with its market. The media’s meltdown over its failure only underscores the disconnect between game developers, journalists, and the actual gaming community.
