PlayStation’s Concord, a game reportedly in the works for eight years trying to break into the hero shooter market, has launched with sub-700 concurrent players on Steam
Sony’s executives thought it was a great idea to buy this studio when they first saw the game as it was reported last year. I don’t know if the character designs were mandated to be this way because Sony executives demanded it, or if the devs designed them the way they are. Did they want to chase the blue hair vocal minority on xitter that complain about games not being diverse enough, then don’t buy the games with these incredibly diverse, brave and quirky character designs anyway? On top of that a $40 price tag is enough to make a dead on arrival game among other issues like a forced PSN account and no Steam Deck support.
I just don’t understand the insistence on targeting the woke demographic instead of core gamers. They’ve repeatedly shown that they are masters in the complaining department, but when it comes to buying diversity-infused games, they are a no-show.

I’m seeing all of these down votes but no one has been able to refute this point.
It’s really hard to refute willful stupidity. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
