Concord Is Estimated to Have Sold Only 25,000 Units. Here’s Why Analysts Think It’s Failing - IGN

What happened to Concord? Why did a big Sony first-party game get sent out to die immediately? Is it actually selling badly, or are we just reading the numbers wrong? As usual when questions of this nature crop up, I asked a bunch of professional industry analysts to explain it to me.

    Basically. DEI (Diversity, Ethics Equity, and Inclusion, IIRC?) is the new “woke”/SJW bogey.

    Having an woman (with exposed skin, no less!) is causing all entertainment to be ruined forever, etc etc, that kind of thing.

    EDIT: Equity, not ethics, whoops! Thanks for the correction.

      Yeah, I bet that nobody buying a game that they know nothing about is caused by it’s diverse cast. It has nothing to do with it being an Overwatch rip-off with terrible marketing.

      Thanks for clarifying, looks like they are coming up with acronyms in their echo chamber.
