Scalpers try to resell Concord after Sony pulls it from sale
Concord: A Short-Lived Journey
Hey gamers! Today, we're diving into the brief yet eventful life of Concord, a first-person shooter developed by Firewalk Studios.
Launched on August 23, 2024, the game was available on PlayStation 5 and PC. Despite its potential, it didn't revolutionize the genre.
Unfortunately, it faced a commercial failure, selling only 25,000 copies in both physical and digital formats.
Scalpers on the Move
Following the game's removal from stores by Sony, scalpers saw an opportunity. They started reselling physical copies at inflated prices.
Here's the scoop:
- Game launched on August 23, 2024
- Removed from stores 11 days later
- Scalpers selling at double or triple the original price
- Original price: $39.99
- Scalper prices: Up to $179.99
Collector's Item or Not?
Many are wondering if Concord will become a valuable collector's item. Given the low sales and limited physical copies, it might.
However, with the servers shutting down on September 6, 2024, the game's future remains uncertain.
What's Next for Concord?
Firewalk Studios is considering a potential relaunch as a free-to-play game. But for now, Sony has made no official announcements.
An employee revealed that the game took eight years to develop and cost millions. Sadly, it only had 11 days of operation.
This is a significant setback for Sony and a sad story for the gaming industry.
