Bad headline but reasonable argument within. Concord probably failed for the reasons people outlined, sure.

The point is that peoples fingers aren’t quite as on the pulse of what will make something successful as what we give ourselves credit for. We attribute reasons for something’s success or failure after the fact.

Personally, I don’t know what makes a hero shooter successful or not. A game like this could be going gangbusters for some reason in 6 months time and I would probably not understand why.

Being critical about games is a bad habit?

In general talking about something bad, disappointing or controversal is always a good way to generate clicks. That works for news too. We humans are wired just like that. So its not something that has become recently a bad habit, this is something happening since decades, before and outside of gaming as well.

Have some empathy for megacorporations. They’re moral (lol) entities just like you and me. /s

Dancing on concords grave is more fun than playing concord, and it’s free!

The poor shareholders.

(Edit: I just read my own comment as “The poor shitholders”.)
