So she is a pervert?
I imagine that’s why middle age men and trans women are lusting for her.

Ironically is not much different than a lot of people said before but ERA got triggered regardless because “toxic culture”. JustDoIt wrote:the game wasn't around long enough to respond to player feedback. there was a beta that required preorders to access (at first). the game launched a month later. then it was taken offline two weeks later. Do you… do you think Devs don’t play test the shit out of the games before “betas”?

If a direct screenshot from the game is "courting Chuds" then maybe that's a you problem

As usual ResetEra has no idea how game development works. The costs of Concord aren't just the wages of developers.
First, there is the acquisition, which at the time they bought it couldn't have been cheap. Once Sony bought it, they also had to pay for all the operating expenses. So we're talking rent (most studios are in expensive city centers), electricity, water and everything else. Everyone needs multiple work stations, meaning a powerful PC and a bunch of PS5 devkits (although sometimes these are shared). If they WFH that also means company laptops. In addition they need network infrastructure, servers and everything else for the backend. These companies usually offer great perks for employees and soy milk ain't cheap either. Neither are software licenses, enterprise software is expensive. Finally there is the distribution of the game. There is a physical version and they expected a big hit. Shipments aren't as high as they used to be but even if they just allocate 10k units to 50 markets, that's 500k copies that had to be produced, shipped and delivered. However, I imagine for a Sony first party game that number is closer to at least a million units (500k US, 300k UK/EU, 200k AU/MEA). There is a whole lot of different expenses and it adds up over the years. I wouldn't be surprised if that $250 million is a low estimate and they were already knee deep in preproduction for new Seasons/DLC and possibly sequels. I bet Sony's financial staff is currently working hard to find a way to make this 'look good' in the books without having to do a $300 - $500 million write off for not just the development but the predicted revenue too.

You need feedback, everyone needs to be heard, the market shifted from under them, this is really difficult, we need to interview our players, gather their thoughts, brief the team, get everyone on the same page, use scalable technology, add an online component, figure out the pricing strategy
Miyamoto: I was strangely attracted to this design. I liked the idea of plants walking. We were saying things like, “It would be cute if it sucked up water from the leaf on its head.” Miyamoto: So, as the producer of the game, I pleaded to Abe-san, “I’ll join as a director, so please give me three months. I’ll step down if it fails.” (Laughs) Miyamoto: At E3, I spoke as if the game was finished. (Laughs) Hino: I thought it was amazing. (Laughs) When Pikmin was announced, I was under the impression that the development was close to being done. Morii: But at that point, there was just one stage, as I recall. Plus, it was a layout made exclusively for that show. (Laughs)

I just love the fact that it took a ridiculously large failure like Concord and the ongoing backlash and excuses for the users of that forum to face up to the fact that the moderation of it and its predecessor forum have been massively biased towards Sony and that has been reflected in the moderation for 20+years.
A long long long overdue emote and such a timely addition to thebire and the shitbin thread.

Remove the censorship regime and the flood gates will open. Imagine how different it would've been if all the GAAS woke flops from Sony and the likes would've been proper next-gen sequels to Batman Arkham, Uncharted 5, Killzone etc. instead. The few games that brought that type of energy like Warhammer Space Marine II, God of War: Ragnarok, Elden Ring, Spider-Man 2, Stellar Blade etc. are all big hits.
