Concord suffered from being too safe and generic. There wasn’t a single thing about it that didn’t seem generic and played out. It was originally conceptualized around the time when overwatch 1 was super popular and then they took way too long to finish it. The fact that it was pursuing an outdated trend and doing nothing original with it is why nobody had any interest in it.
Gamers could have identified that it was going to flop from a mile away, but the people calling the shots were businessmen and shareholders, not gamers. The industry has been hollowed out and enshittified because it’s been taken over by non-gamers who want to turn all games into soulless child casinos.
It wouldn’t be the first artistic industry ruined by capitalists and it won’t be last.
