  • I know there were some rumors that the game might get re-launched free-to-play, but I feel like that was just going to cause Concord to flop twice. The game already had a free open beta that nobody played, relaunching now would just be throwing more good money after bad.

    It’s a shame to shut down the studio though, especially when none of it seems like their fault. They delivered the shitty overwatch clone corporate asked for, and now they’re going to lose their jobs for fulfilling the brief. Meanwhile the dumbass execs who wanted Concord get to keep failing upwards.




  • because “hurr durr it’s an IP we own.”

    Same reason as why Bethesda slapped Prey on Arcane’s spooky space station imsim. It doesn’t need to make sense, the games don’t need to be connected, the IP doesn’t have to be popular, companies are just so adverse to a new IP that they would rather change everything about an old one.

    There’s a replication crisis in a handful of more recent fields that use human subjects and didn’t have hard rules and restrictions on how to treat human subjects in the early 20th century. Psychology is the field that has had the biggest issue, with many old studies having what we now see as serious methodology issues. It doesn’t inherently mean all of those studies are wrong, just that they need to be revised with updated methodology to confirm if their results are accurate.

    There’s also about 1500 years of scientific study aside from that which doesn’t relate to human subjects at all, and by this point has been replicated numerous times, so I would not doubt the claim that most research is replicable and valid. I would expect about 80-90% of our collective scientific knowledge to be accurate.
