After telling white people how terrible they are, Sony loses $400 million in two weeks on "Concord" game launch

Turns out hiring racists is bad for business.

Oh well.

I hope they lose another billion very, very soon!

I am a PlayStation guy and I love woke failures like this.

Another example of too many ideas people, and not enough make shit work people.

And apparently, the idea here was "build a game for 1% of the population (most of whom don't game), and tell 80% of our demographic that we hate them".

Great work, Sony!

"Concord," if you're not a gamer, was supposed to be one of the big releases heading into the fall. The Sony PlayStation 5 and PC title, developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, was eight years in the works. It was a so-called "hero shooter" -- a genre of multiplayer arena shooter games in which each of the characters have distinctive designs and gameplay characteristics.

It was known for months up to the release of "Concord" that the game was going to feel like an insufferable DEI seminar with guns. Take this post, from May, after some of the character reveals:

PlayStation's new hero 5V5 PVP Shooter Concord is full of diverse character designs & they even have their pronouns listed below their name....

According to geek-centric website That Park Place, one character had their pronouns as "undecided." It was blatantly obvious, as the writer noted, that "the characters have clearly been created to adhere to woke, DEI character designs."

Get woke, go broke.

Great work, Sony!

I remember when they made good games like God of War in 2018.
