Concord fans are paying tribute to the failed PlayStation game, which has already officially closed its servers, but will keep the community alive on Reddit, where only positivity, gratitude and good wishes for the future are shared.
Concord It’s history now: the servers of the failed PlayStation game, which was looking too late to make a name for itself in the exclusive arena shooter group, have closed today, September 6, two weeks after its launch on PS5 and PC.
The closure of the servers of Concord It sparked all sorts of reactions, including some very extreme ones from people celebrating the game’s failure as a way to send a message to Sony that they don’t want more online games, but games… like Astro Bot.
Although Concord had very few players, those who bought it… seemed to enjoy it a lot. They certainly didn’t expect such an abrupt ending to the game, and even though it’s already irreversible (and they’re getting their money back) they wanted to pay tribute to the game after a short but intense relationship.
Tributes to Concord after server shutdown: 61 people achieved Platinum
On Tuesday, the day the servers were announced to be shutting down, 12 people had earned the game’s Platinum. Today, with the servers now shut down, that number has risen to 614.15% of users, according to PSN Profiles.
And Reddit, Firewalk confirmed that the servers are now shut down. “On behalf of everyone at Firewalk, we want to thank everyone for the support. We are deeply grateful that you decided to spend time with us, make memories, and learn what it means to be a freegunner.“.
Far from the toxicity of Twitter, the Concord subreddit is a microcosm where there are only messages of thanks, clips of the last games and some memes, but always thanking Firewalk for giving them a few hours of happiness.
Two Bear Arms He says in his message that “in 35 years of playing I’ve never seen anything like Concord, seeing all the drama online, now his dramatic death… crazy” and hopes he returns in a more palatable form.
honeybadgervstrex He says he bought the game because of all the hate and ended up enjoying it, and that It’s better than Overwatch, Valorant and XDefiant.
For now, the Concord subreddit is going to stay online so people can stay connected and keep at least a spark of hope alive. Also, the series Secret Level Prime Video will continue to have an episode of Concord, which will be quite a rarity…
Now the only hope is that Sony finds a way to redesign Concord to attract the attention of players, and more importantly, to make financial sense, since up to now all the money invested has been lost.
Making it free to play seems like the logical solution, but that’s a significant investment… and we’ll see if it’s worth it or if they slowly sweep it under the rug.
