Therefore, at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players.
While we determine the best path ahead, Concord sales will cease immediately and we will begin to offer a full refund for all g*mers who have purchased the game for PS5 or PC. If you purchased the game for PlayStation 5 from the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Direct, a refund will be issued back to your original payment method.
Customers who purchased from other digital storefronts will also be refunded.
Ok even ignoring them being trans - is that the most redditbrained backstory ever?
>works in a warehouse cutting open boxes
>so naturally she learned sick nasty knife skills!
>she worked as a lowly warehouse shelf stocker
>and worked her way all the way to the top!
No honey, you do not work your way to the top of a multi-billion dollar company stacking boxes, the world doesn't work that way, nor does spending your days fiddling with a boxcutter doing menial labor make you a "knife expert"
And if you don't want to ignore the part of her backstory that's trans, it's obviously just shoehorned in there. "Here's her backstory and oh btw she's trans" sums it up, extremely lazy job being inclusive guys
Literally just say she rejected her birthright after bumping shoulders with plebs and her transitioning genders only punctuates that decision and it would have been a fine backstory.

Is that wall of text in the game ???
maybe I'm crazy, but something about it makes me wonder if this was inspired by Garnet, who is also red and purple with pointy shoulders and also Black (coded)
Maybe connected, maybe not. People (tumblrinas) loved garnet because she wasn't introduced with just a loving character shrouded with tons of mystery
stfu-ing about your character and letting them speak for themselves and not finding a way to be somehow more ugly than Steven fricking Universe is a good move
Garnet, who is also red and purple with pointy shoulders and also Black (coded)
This shit bothers me so much for some reason. Why do your fantasy characters have to fit real world stereotypes? Mix things up a bit and create a weird chink/BIPOC hybrid or some shit. Have some fricking imagination for once in your useless life
The heck is that app and is it any useful for deals? I mainly use my ps4 for streaming but it's only cause there isn't many interesting games that I can't just torrent also.
I think its just the official playstation app and its the stars program. Its not THAT useful, but if u have ps plus and buy games regularly u can get some free stuff on occassion with the kickbacks
I suspect it starts with one r-slur in charge with no critical thinking skills, who then hires more r-slurs. They all speak the same (r-slurred) language so to each other they all sound legit. Only when their work is complete and the rest of the (less r-slurred) world is exposed to it do they get the shocking wake-up call "Hey, this is kinda r-slurred."
You would think they could spend $20 on some Doritos and Mtn Dew to get some greasy neckbeard to tell them whether or not the consumers will buy their $300m product
Oh they probably did, but when those playtesters said "Hey, this is kinda r-slurred" the devs ignored them. "What do they know," the Concord dev team grunts, "they're just talentless freaks." A child in an adult's body who's lived their entire life never having been told no or been critically evaluated, they are physically incapable of comprehending "being wrong." And so they soldier on, completely confident in themselves, until the entire world sees their game and they can no longer shirk the truth: they are r-slurs.
Idgi. So they only pass down the title to males right? And bazz or w/e WAS a male but then transitioned to a female? So wouldn't it be completely normal to not consider him for inheritance? Do they want this character to be treated as male or female? Did they think that the rules should be broken about gender because of their overqualification? Then why have the trans nonsense, which is undermined by the gender rule, at all?
>premise: "Fifteen standalone short stories based on popular video games and franchises are told in the series."
lol, i guess they assumed the game was gonna be popular before it even released. thats hilarious. also in my 2 seconds of research, all the other games are at least 5 years old, so thats really dumb on their part to include concord,
At least when playing as CJ they didn't glamorize his beginning lifestyle, Grove street sucked butt and everyone lived in a shitbox, while people were either selling dope or addicted to it
If San Andreas was made today you would have to complete a mandatory mission where you meet George floyd descendants and go lecture a wyte mob before gunning them down and forcing the government to pay for the drugs in his neighborhood
It is similar discourse when Far Cry 5 came out and how journos would say g*mer chuds would seethe about having to kill white religious conservatives and then Ubisoft did a reverse uno and made a majority of the non named NPC enemies either non white or women and the journos were seething hard about that instead lol.

I like how he admits to being a contrarian (only played the game cause most people 'hated' it). And of course hes an arts degree cute twink.
Kinda weird though that he acts as if this game got major backlash or was hated on a lot, when in reality simply noone even cared about the game, not even to hate. Yeah, some gloating happened, but that was all after the game already bombed.
Maybe mr miles morales profile pic should wonder hey if all the discourse is making fun of it for culture war reasons maybe it's the fault of censoring those people until they have reactionary sentiments to obviously crap things
I can very easily see this game being something that art historians/anthropologists/sociologists in the distant future look at as a reflection of the culture.
