What did Sony see that warranted the funding AND acquisition of Concord and Firewalk? I don't get it.
Helldivers 2 only cost them about $50 million which is a smart investment even if didn't turn out successful. Destruction AllStars and whatever they paid for Foamstars probably cost them pennies, and both were nice attempts at rare/fresh genres. Them bombing were of no significance.
Concord is a historic bomba, and the only way to make up for the losses in the long run is to find some use for the developers they bought. Any idea how much they paid to acquire them?
