Concord Developer Studio Changes Report

It’s been two weeks since Firewalk took Concord offline, and only about a month since the shooter launched in the first place. Things have obviously not gone well, and if the latest reports from Kotaku and Games Industry are any indication, they’re still not.

According to Kotaku, Concord’s game director Ryan Ellis has reportedly stepped down and will be taking on a support role instead. At the same time, Games Industry is reporting that the studio’s future appears to be in question. Some sources are reported to think the studio may become a co-development studio and aid in the development of other Sony projects. Others are concerned that there will be layoffs or that the studio will be closed altogether. None of these options seem unlikely considering how the game industry works.

Its really tough in 2024, game development is not that easy.
Of course you get small games become huge. And good luck to them.
The fact is though there are a hell of lot of losers.
I do not think AI is going to curb this, it will only fester it further in my view, just look how crypto companies are spitting out games, all useless, no one wants to play a useless game that's a hidden gambling game, only your true gambler and they'd play them all. lol
these games are useless to normal gamers who just go about ignore them. awaiting their collapse. The current state is not good.
