I made a bet with my friend that Concord game would shutdown within a year. I didn’t think it would be 14 days after release :ChikaREEEE:

@fujiwara This beats the record that LLSIF2 can’t even beat, in terms of live services games. :neocat_facepalm:

@chikorita157 What’s sad is Concord was a $40 game too. I don’t know how “live service” it was but making an Overwatch competitor in 2024 and charging for it seemed like a bad idea.

@fujiwara @chikorita157 The number of players interesting in grinding or going broke over live service games are mostly set. It’s a zero sum game. Most loot/gacha will fail big.
For every Hoyo there will be a hundred failures.
When I’m done with a game and poured 50-300 hours into it (if I finish it), I go to the next. If you play a live service game it needs to be your life or you fall behind.
I still wish Hoyo would make a single player game. Love their assets (this is an intentional multi tier joke, but I seriously think they have so many talented people there) and such. Gacha just drags it down.
At least the NFT gaming bubble burst faster. We are going to see so many big projects flow soon.
(They should repurpose the assets, but won’t:/)

@chikorita157 @yon I don’t think Concord is a gacha game… I’m not even sure if it had micro transactions or anything like that. It might have, but I think most people just didn’t want to play it.

@chikorita157 @yon Well it certainly doesn’t now :zerotwoevillaugh:

@fujiwara @chikorita157 Looks like it was suppose to have free updates. But I bet they would have introduced monetization if it had taken off.
But live action falls into the “need to play it an awful lot” category. So why jump on something slightly different when you’ve already poured thousands of hours into something else?
I just think it’s a weird business model in the long run. It’s a crowded market with just a few games.
(I know No man’s sky has had a lot of updates. But the bulk of it should have had been there from day. It’s going to be interesting to see how their next game does.)
