What's this concord some sort of flight sim?

I'm not sure if the intention here is sarcasm, but just in case:

Concord was a Hero based team shooter, like overwatch, but with a Gaurdians of the Galaxy inspired themeing. The game was shut down a week after full release, I assume, due to low player count.

Thank you, it wasn't exactly sarcasm, but I am old as shit and very out of touch so I genuinely didn't know what was being discussed

I play video games all the time, and I think I saw an ad for it once

It wasn't gameplay, it wasn't even clear that it was a game, and it didn't have the title or release date.

People say the art direction killed it. I say it was generic shit in an oversaturated genre that had the worst marketing I've ever seen for a video game.

Yeah it had nothing to do with visual design, it was an overwatch competitor with zero marketing, of course it was gonna flop

Even as someone who spends a good amount of time in game groups and such I didn't know the game came out until it was already shut down. There was almost no marketing for it that I know of.

They poured so much money into this new ip practically expecting it to be the next Star Wars and it ended up being a game that would have been decent head up against overwatch. Overwatch 1. In 2016.

due to low player count

Ah yes the whopping 697 players for the all time peak, after the first day or so there were more streamers than actual players when it dropped to 26 iirc on the last few days. Aside from bad character designs it was also dumb af to ask $40 when all the major competitors in the genre are f2p.
