A former developer at Firewalk Studios who worked on Concord lamented that the company did not do any counter programming to combat the plethora of criticisms the game faced and declared that this allowed “false narratives” to spread.
"The audience that our publisher was catering to did not want this game at all." I mean that's one way to put it. "The audience that our publisher was catering to didn't exist at all" would be another.
“The audience that our publisher was catering to did not want this game at all. From the get go the game was labeled as uncool and so everyone that talked about it was like, ‘Yeah, but this game’s uncool.’ But you haven’t looked into it. You haven’t played it yet. Even my family, they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, I heard about this game. I heard it wasn’t cool.’ I was like, ‘Bro, you gonna play it? Please.”
He can't even bring himself to say it, I can virtually see him make faces and stutter as he red in the face finally manages to say "uncool". Yeah, I'm sure that was the gamers' sentiment - "uncool". Rather than people taking one look at Concord and pointing their fingers "that's woke garbage".
And then back to the old pseudo argument "You haven't played it yet". When I see a piece of excrement in the middle of a road, I don't need to take a closer look or start poking around, I know what it is.
The closing line is just priceless. The devs couldn't even get their own families to play that crap. Who can blame them?
To paraphrase the first despondent developer: “I’d like to sit down with anyone who has any criticisms of the message and tell them why they’re wrong. I’d so get 100% of people to see my way is the right way.”
I’ve noticed that a lot of liberals are like teenage girls in that they think that if you just hear them talk that you will agree with them and if you don’t agree then you must not be listening!
I just walked in here from reading the bad Steam reviews on the latest Destiny expansion and season. Oh look, more of the same. Concord's treatment still baffles me. Why didn't they just whip out some fresh not-ugly skins real fast? Fortnite does it all the time. I think I have a naive idea that game companies exist to make games. HAHAHAHAHA

Looneys.

He did the meme!
*Bro, bro, please bro. Just play the game, bro. I know you'll like it, bro!*
"programming" huh? Odd choice of words.

Those character designs are just atrocious. 'Uncool'? Yeah, no kidding.
In the words of a gaming legend: “They did everything correct, they did nothing wrong! SNORT!” Stupid chud audience and detractors!
