Concord's imminent death prompts "infinite love" from its own developers and sympathy from industry figures: "I feel your pain"
Gears of War, Marvel's Blade, and Destiny makers als♓o show support to the failed hero shooﷺter

After just about two weeks in the wild and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some sad player numbers, PlayStation is unceremoniously taking its new hero𒈔 shooter Concord offline tomorrow - a decision that's prompted developers from Firewalk Studios to reminisce on their gꦕame, and developers from across the industry to show sympathy for a sadly familiar situation.
Firewalk Studios says it's working to "determine the best path ahead," but developers from the Sony subsidiary are sꦑtill saying their goodbyes to the game jus♑t in case.
earlier today. "I'll be on as much as I can until we're down. Say hi if we match up!""Firewalk is packed with tenacious fighters," lead character designer Jon Weisnewski adds on before humbly bragging that "the fact we shipped at all is legendary" amid studio acquisitions, the global pandemic, and a switch from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5. "None of us know what's next but I do know this team is capabl🦄e of wild energy when faced with a🌸 challenge."
"Will always be proud of what was accomplished for myself, for Firewalk, and for the PSVA team," PlayStation Visual Arts Team's senior artist Hugh Chew said alongside 🥀an image of what are now probably considered collector's items: a physical copy of Concord and its special edition PS5 DualSense.

Devel❀opers who worked on Concord weren't the only ones to share the love, though.
"Permiss𒈔ion to be human: I don't have anything 'smart' to say," Marvel's Blade and Deathloop director Dinga Bakaba . "I'll keep it to: if you are from the dev team and read this, courage.💦 This too shall pass."

Former Gears of War lead and creator of the similarly failed hero shooter Lawbreakers, Cliff 'Cl🎃iffyB' Bleszinski, kept it simple in a social media : "Concord, I feܫel your pain."
Former Destiny 2 and current Amazon Fallout community manager Liana Ruppert a reminder that there's still hope for Concord's future if other gaming comebacks are any indication. "No Mans Sky, Elder Scrolls Online, Rainbow Six Siege: there are so many games that have proven that this doesn’t mean the end. With the right moves/the right support, we could see Concord come back in a massive way that's a w🍰in for players and the𓂃 devs."
