so like. at what point are we going to stop listening to game companies saying "the game was poorly received and didn't meet our sales targets, and that's why we're removing it from storefronts and taking down all the servers mere months or even weeks after release" for titles that had a long expensive development, were barely marketed, and nobody knew they'd even released until after they heard they were getting shut down and couldn't be played/purchased anymore?

I feel like the prevailing takeaway for anyone who doesn't just conclude "yeah, game was pretty mid, makes sense to me" has usually been "this company just has unreasonably impossible sales expectations and treats every project like a failure if it doesn't print a trillion dollars". but these ARE allegedly experienced business execs who aren't complete idiots, and after this most recent debacle with Concord I'm starting to wonder if a bunch of these "games getting wiped out of existence when they underperform instead of just being allowed to persist as they are and maybe improve with time" cases in recent years might be more of a Warner-Discovery type situation, like nuking an entire animated series or film that was worked on for years and preventing it from being sold because it has to be officially unprofitable for the company to use it as a tax write-off. I look at a game that was worked on for 8 years and only made available for 2 weeks, and it's hard not to see the parallels.

great work, AAA games industry, really normal and sustainable stuff you're doing over there as usual

Concord, Sony’s latest hero shooter that took 8 years to develop, has shut down after launching two weeks ago with refunds being offered.

Hero shooter genre was oversaturated years ago, Concord should never have taken 8 years to develop. I feel for the devs who poured their hearts into this. This is the fault of a group of executives who put ‘money earning’ live-service above all else.

Lotus Europa S2, 1968. The Europa was the first mid-engined Lotus road car and, when it was introduced in 1966, one of the first series production mid-engined sports cars. It was powered by an alloy 1470cc engine and transmission taken from the front drive Renault 16, turned through 180º to drive the rear wheels.
