Concord is not completely dead. Community developers have brought Sony's shut-down hero shooter back online with fan-made custom servers, rebuilding its backend API and getting full matches running again.
It’s early stages and buggy, but it’s on its way. All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable.
The correct lesson to take away from it, that they won’t ever do, is to release multiplayer games in a way where they can live on without constant updates or a central server.
If Sony sees this, they’ll misread it as interest, release it again, and it’ll flop again. It’s what’s known as a Morbious.
A… Mourbioros? Morboros? Mouroboros?
imo, Mourboboros (last one with an extra b, for fun)
