PlayStation's decision to kill Concord prompts industry sympathy


Industry members have shared their sympathies with the Concord team as hero shooter gets pulled from sale.

Gears of War's Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski shared a short post on social media, reading: "Concord, I feel your pain." Despite a big pre-release push by publisher Nexon, LawBreakers flopped, with its Steam concurrent player count peaking at 7482 in June 2017 when it launched via open beta. Writing about the "kind and earnest" Concord last month, Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell said: "Out of the trenches of development and into no man's land it goes, clutching its weapon and its special ability, hoping for the best and bracing for what is, probably, the inevitable, while the forever war for our attention rumbles on."
