What happened to Concord? Why did a big Sony first-party game get sent out to die immediately? Is it actually selling badly, or are we just reading the numbers wrong? As usual when questions of this nature crop up, I asked a bunch of professional industry analysts to explain it to me.
Honestly, deadlock doing the whole Fight Club marketing strategy really paid off for them. I heard so much about "the game you weren't allowed to talk about" on various streams.
I’ve been seeing ads for it for a long time, but the ads don’t even make it clear they’re for this game until 20+ seconds in, at which point I’ve stopped watching.
It’s very likely you too have seen plenty of marketing for this game but ignored it like I did.
