     @TrevorGoodchild the flopping does seem to be accelerating. Seems like it's a lot of individual parts that are just coalescing.

     @PhoxFriday @TrevorGoodchild Nah, that's not going to happen. They're going to nose down so hard it's going to implode everything.

     @TrevorGoodchild They queued up another one yesterday with the Ghost of Tsushima sequel (kino masculine fantasy samurai game) starring some random woman as the MC. Eventually someone with common sense has to get into these boardrooms and stop the bleeding.

     @plotinus_enjoyer Saw a game insider interview that put it at twice that, with advertising fees thrown in it could easily be half a billion

     @TrevorGoodchild There was apparently a culture of "toxic positivity" as well, no wonder the game turned out the way it did

     @TrevorGoodchild Apparently Concord lost even more money than the often-cited $200 million number

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild @plotinus_enjoyer Yeah because the game was so well designed and properly structured that they made it a paid one while most of its competitors were on a F2P model, on top of the DEI-slop, truly a success recipe.

     @InvictusManeo @TrevorGoodchild @plotinus_enjoyer I assume they thought "you can always transition to F2P, but not back"
