    There’s something great about watching the AAA games industry fall on their face.

    This has to be some kind of record, right?

      I think it actually is. Definitely the fastest for a game with a AAA budget at least.

    @alessandro

    • Estimates give around 700 total active players on PC
    • Each copy costed $39.99 USD plus taxes
    • Let’s consider about 700 players on the PS5 side of things to be fair
    • No microtransactions added to the game, that I know of
    • The total lifelong brute earnings of Concord (and thus the amount of money Sony will have to refunds) would therefore be around $60 000 USD, which in the world of AAA gaming is practically peanuts

      @alessandro Ah never mind, total purchases were 25000 so the brute earnings were about 1 million USD
