Concord is more than just a „messed-up videogame launch“, it’s a marketing catastrophe of generational proportion. You could (adjusted for inflation) buy a Concorde, the airplane, learn how to fly it and get licensed, fly up to 10 KM, dive straight down and slam it into the ground at over two thousand KMPH, and then you’d still leave your bereaved family with good 30 million dollars of leftover money compared to what Sony threw at developing Concord.
„You will own nothing“ seems to be becoming the mantra of most large companies making media.
Well let’s start by giving actual lifetime ownership of single player games and ban permanent internet connection requirements for them, then we can talk about shit like Concord.
Its so clickbait that they use concord in the title for this, concord was a good expample of how to handle a shutdown of a game. They shouldve used the crew, wich was made unplayable and people got no refund , (fuck ubisoft).
