"Concord is being taken offline this week as Sony looks to 'explore options'"

[kane_magus]

Full headline, as Dreamwidth subject field length is still too small to handle PC Gamer's superfluous headlines: "Concord is being taken offline this week as Sony looks to 'explore options' that will 'better reach our players'"

"Is this the fastest game shutdown ever?"

Stop! Making! Live! Service! Games!

That is all.

(My email to myself from Google News App for this one just had "eye-roll" as the subject line.)

It's one thing to do shit like this for a free-to-play game, but if I paid forty bucks for this and it got the rug pulled out from under it, I would absolutely never buy another Sony game without a LOT of convincing that they're not gonna pull this shit again. Refund or no, this is no way to run a business: If I paid for a game, I expect to be able to play that game. Even if it sucks.

Live service games may be bullshit, but if they're not even willing to commit to the live service that they're selling that's just false advertising.
