Twitter is now chud central, Briahna Wu is on there talking about Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.
With the Concord flop, studios are gonna begin to think long and hard about who their audience is.
Just look at how silly this headline looks now:

Maybe they were on the right side of history after all

Anyone who ever thought the audience for expensive (>$20) video games that require a time commitment to enjoy (FPS, RPG, RTS, etc) was ever going to be "normal people" deserves every gram of crow they're eating. Casuals have no reason to venture beyond Stardew Valley and The Sims. It is not an art form, it is a weird hobby for weird people and it always will be.
A bunch of resetera types thought that if only they made vidya look like Disney they would get access to a wider audience of people who were just waiting to see the "joy" in "gaming" if only it didn't have the superficial aesthetics of male adolescence. What they missed is that the deeper activity, the gameplay itself, is just not that appealing to people who have better things to do. Normal people played Guitar Hero, but they never cared about being good at it, because being good at trivial things is for losers.
Concord was ultimately an adolescent male activity in a Patagonia fleece and New Balances. It didn't fit and it can't fit.
