How ironic.

‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Debuts First Transgender Character Of The ‘Harry Potter’ Franchise

If the exact same Hogwarts game came out and bombed, I guarantee you would have had it in your second list.

Suicide Squad is the only game in the list that had SBI.

Plenty of successful games also had SBI as consultants. 

So something sounds ridiculous to you, but you believe it anyways? 

Who is this gamer representative who speaks for the hundreds of millions of gamers all across the political spectrum, the world?

I've been saying for a couple of days now people jump to red fall but this is more comparable to Bleeding Edge. Not that I saw a lot of it but BE reminded me of a worse version of Anarchy Reigns which is underrated. Not PG's best game but still fun.

Nope. Every gamer speaks for him/herself. It is the publisher´s job to gather all the data available to determine which audience has the most players in it, and market their games to the specific audience they are trying to attract; but I will cut them some slack though, I can totally see how, in today's landscape, it has become increasingly more difficult to determine where exactly the "loud minority" really is.

I mean, sure, they are allowed, they definitely are big enough to tank it. It's still a massive loss, more than 100 million dollars, plus 8 years of development, plus all the years they are contractually obligated to keep this alive (which I assume they'll try to cut as short as possible, but at least a year more for sure). For a game completely dead on arrival. This is going to make heads at Sony roll.

One of the game's devs called those criticizing Concord "talentless freaks"

Dumb thing to say but should be noted it's a former developer, they now work at PUBG Corp and haven't worked at Firewalk since March 2024.

They don't represent Firewalk Studio.

There's too many game to play online, shooters and free to play. How do they expect to capture an audience that is split between them, the likes of rts , shoooters, and say palworld. They need to really stand out .

Well, they didn't call those criticising it freaks, they were specific about those "who are hating on it", and I agree. Calling a game WOKE isn't criticism, a trolling campaign has been attached to the game since its reveal because characters have pronouns in their bio? It's not hard to get a sense where this frustrated dev, likely to lose their job sooner than later, is coming from. 

Non of this changes the fact that is one of the biggest flops of all time, a case to be studied for sure. 

Concord is a flop, sure, but Sony's biggest failure, really?

They lost billions of dollars with the PS3. The Vita killed their handheld lineup. Talk about hyperbole lmao.

At this point can add PSVR2 with PSVita.
