A f2p model would have been the optimal choice, look how concord ended

Well unlike Concord this game isn't slop :3

[HighLanderPony]

This is a great game and it also costs almost half as much. So there's that.

Concord was doomed to fail. Never got past 700 player counts on Steam.

Rivals 2 has over 9000.

Rivals 2 has made considerably more income on a significantly smaller budget than Concord. It also had a previous game it is built off of, which was very profitable with the same monetary model, so Rivals 2 was hardly a risk.

To be hones this is a really stupid comparison.
One was a political propaganda tool cloaked in the skin of a game that got exposed way before it released, the other one is a labor of love from a group of people who genuily love what they are doing.

[Redblaze27]

F2p and fighting games dont mix.

[Trans Kitty Ellie]

God brainless people with comments about how this game should be free, just say you're broke and move on. Stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on a game you can't afford.

[Gamefreak]

Idk why fighting game devs don't just have a demo version with one or two characters unlocked for online with everything else locked.

Concord didn't fail because it was "woke" dude. Take your alt-right conspiracies to 4chan

[Baitofqualitycooking]

concord flubbed for so many reasons, it not being Free 2 Play is only one of them, and if you consider that it was made at the time that Overwatch was popular, it's understandable why it had cost you 40 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollars since Overwatch was also 40 dollars before it shifted to F2P starting with OW2

Rivals 2, I don't own it yet, but based on what I see and what the playtest offered, the game looks like it's well worth the price

That may sound like a bit of a stretch there. To each their own.
However, Concord devs were definitely guilty of insulting their potential customers. They should not have gone around insulting customers and still expect them to pay for the game. That's their own fault Concord failed 2 weeks in.

lol it had a lot to do with why it failed actually (along with terrible marketing, but plenty of games have had launches w/ no marketing and succeeded wonderfully [helldivers2 is one example]).. because the core gameplay wasn't all that bad, according to people that actually played, which i doubt you did, and according to the people that refused to buy it.. we don't wanna be losers with minority sexual preferences in games we play.. (most cases we don't give af who they screw or what part goes where unless we are socketing armor or upgrading weapons) go read if you want to see the reality as it is instead of calling ppl conspiracy theorists because you don't appreciate a certain truths.
