At first I felt bad for Firewalk Studios. (25k sold so far)

[Leo Major]

I saw that they worked on a game for years, thought they were making something "special" and it flopped because in reality whether "woke" or "Far right" (imagine if they made far right games, holy that would be some crazy drama eh xD anyways I digress)

In reality it's just an overwatch clone, and I haven't played it so for me to say it's a "lesser overwatch" clone wouldn't be fair, though I would imagine due to the reviews like the 7 IGN gave it... that it's mid at best......

I mean lets imagine a world where there was no overwatch, they made wow 2 instead or whatever and then one day Concord came out.......... and instead of being 40$ it was 20$ ot maybe free to play with a game pass/battle pass for faster progression etc etc

I think the game could be a smash hit, and be competing against Deadlock in a healthy competition. But instead what people got were too little too late. And then you can have the woke dicussion if you want, but I don't even think it matters at the end of the day.

That being said. I lost sympathy for firewalk studios when I saw the quote that they released on the twittas

Since we first announced Dustborn, we've read your comments nad listened to your feedback, hopes, and wishes for the game. Over the past four years, our teasm has poured their hearts into selling a story that's deeply meaningful to us, a story about the power of words, about building a world where everyone can feel safe, about love, friendships, and robots of course

“We expected Dustborn to spark conversation and debate, and looked forward to engaging with our players in a positive and constructive fashion. Unfortunately, that conversation has been drowned out by a tidal wave of hate and abuse.

We welcome thoughtful feedback and respectful criticism. We embrace discussion and debate. But we have zero tolerance for hate speech, harassment, and threats of any kind. Those who engage in such behavior will be removed from our community.”




You expected Dusborn to spark conversation and debate? But then claim that conversation had been drowned out by hate and abuse? No.... you got what you wanted.... you created a conversation alright....... you created a conversation about how people want to play games to escape reality, not to be lectured too or be forced to play characters or a story we don't relate too or care about.

"r selling a story that's deeply meaningful to us, a story about the power of words, about building a world where everyone can feel safe, about love, friendships, and robots of course"


Are you really shocked your game didn't sell??? This may be over exaggerating a little but it's basically like..... You were not creating a video game....... you were creating a computer application lecturing people and pandering to your ideals and a video game second.

I hope everyone gains something from this and the studios next game does better, or whatever game the employees find themselves working on.

Good luck going forward, but try to self reflect instead of blame the people you want to buy your game, for not buying your game ..... cause that's not going to help.

Never ever feel sorry for people who hate you

If they had their way they'd destroy absolutely everything you love

[BEEP!]

Wait so they basically made less than a mill for a game that cost between 100-200mill lol just wow that's got to be a record right.

Congratulations: you now know what it feels like for LGBTQ+ gamers who have had to spend decades playing characters and stories they didn't relate to or care about.

As usual, you people only care when an issue affects you.

So why don't all the LGBTQ+ celebrate and play the game? I'll tell you why, because they are a very small minority which shouldn't be listened to regarding games.

No, it probably has more to do with Concord being a bland Overwatch clone that's way too late to market, had little to no advertising, and a ridiculously high price-point.

It reminds me of that Bill Bur joke about the WNBA we didn't fail them the modern audience failed them why didn't the modern audience show up they didn't even attempt to show support there was more people complaining that we didn't buy the game than actually buying the game.

Fun fact: The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game averaged 3.4 million viewers, and ratings overall have been steadily rising since 2021.

Yeah.. that one is a classic... because women rather watch "The Kardashians", they rather see other woman insulting each other then working towards a common goal. Bill Burr is a legend.

[Ranch]

And it took them one chick that was actually really good and didn't complain and just played the game sad ting is it's still not making any money what so ever and men are still blamed that it's not making money even though the majority of the people that go to the game's are men.
