Sony Believes Concord Failed Because of an Overly Competitive Market

This post did not contain any content.Who could have guessed that ahead of time? The industry is famous for seeing a successful new strategy and then driving it into the ground with a list of copycats. The strategy has made so much money before; why would it ever have failed this time? /s (Let's all laugh at an industry that never learns anything tee hee hee)

I thought the Concorde stopped flying because of the operating costs and environmental impact. It didn't have comparable competition as such. Oh wait this is a games community. What's Concord? Maybe it would've done better if I'd heard of it BEFORE it shut down. Or if they didn't take 8 years to make what sounds like yet another Overwatch copycat?

This post did not contain any content.They've used 4 times the budget of APB and didn't make a game that players would enjoy. APB was the prime example of investors who dont know about making a game throw money until a fun game pops out, and even then it was a fun game.

> boring-ass investor presentations (...) It’s all filler nonsense. I mean, you could probably just copy-paste that and call it a day for all presentations

What about APB reloaded? (Yes, somehow..it is still alive.)Honestly, I would play it sometimes if they upped the anti cheat. A few years ago I tried it for nostalgia but my experience was ruined because of blatant cheaters.

I'm still salty about Concorde (as any French person should be, really).

Not sure I agree on the "better news". I'd love if they gave up on making consoles and put more stuff on PC, tho if they pivoted to cloud only that would indeed be the worst outcome.
That said, sure, the ideal outcome would be PS6 **and** releasing games on PC. I don't want a new console but I respect people who do.The ideal outcome (that'll never happen) is a PS6 that *is* a PC. But shareholders would never go for tearing down a walled garden ecosystem.
