To be fair, if Concord was F2P and didn’t cost $40, it probably would still be around rn. Or if they advertised it better. A shitton of comments about the game were saying they never even heard of it until it was in the news for getting shutdown so quickly.
In the hypothetical where Concord was F2P it still would be competing against juggernauts like OW2 and now Marvel Rivals, but with a cast that is objectively not pleasing to the eye. It could still be alive but it would 100% not be thriving.
This is why I’m unconvinced when people make the argument that “the PvP hero shooter market is just too saturated” when a game like Concord flops.
The Chinese gaming market is really heating up it seems.
