Y’all doing a lot of typing, the answer is simple.

This game was on the wrong side of the nasty cac hype cycle.

we like to pretend those people don’t hold power but they do.

If they swapped out some of the LGBTQ characters and angle with some “sexy” female characters and some “strong” white men, the game would be doing just fine.

Maybe wouldn’t be smashing success, but the servers would still be up right now.

So why did Overwatch and Apex Legends succeed. While Concord failed?

They positioned it as an LGBTQ game.

It’s first tag on steam was literally “lgbtq”

Without any other hype to draw off of the game didn’t stand a chance.
None of that stopped people from playing Overwatch or Apex lol. When they had whole articles and trailers promoting their gay characters.

Just look at 3 recent big game stories.

Outlaws
Wu-Kong
Concord.

One of these games publicly came out speaking against women and diversity.

The other two publicly embraced gay shyt and women.

Now obviously each game has its strengths and weaknesses.

But it’s not supposing how the discourse around these 3 games has been shaped.

Again, i know people don’t want to admit it, but gamer culture is toxic, misogynist, and racist as fukk, especially the people that spend time online talking about games.

Those people set the tone and everyone else follows.

Concord a new IP from a new Dev, just didn’t have enough opposition hype to combat the nasty cacs. :manny:

Neither of those games presented themselves as an LGBTQ game. And both of them had regular white guys and big titty chicks as their representatives.
...is there a single game that doesn't?
My point is that they have “sexy” women and boring white men in the games.

Concord had “pronouns” :francis:

:mjlol:They were getting on Apex Legends for their lack of white male characters. And Overwatch was getting called Tumblrwatch. For pandering to the lbgt/sjw community on tumblr. I mean Overwatch’s most popular white male character is gay.

The overwatch dude is “maybe” gay and that conversation happened well after the game was out.

If he was advertised as gay from the jump he would not be popular.

Same with apex those criticisms came out well after the game had already established a fan base.

Furthermore, both of these games had a built in fanbase before any single character was revealed.

Concord starting from scratch leading with the gay angle killed it before it could even get started.

Not sure why you want so bad to argue against this.

You watch any UFC broadcast,Nascar, wrestling, fitness, etc and these nasty cacs are more than prevalent in those communities. Gaming is the same crowd. Not sure why some of you don’t want to admit it.

I'd argue that APEX/COD/FORTNITE fill a very specific niche.
How can these games be a specific niche if they are the majority popularity of the fps genre? Thats the opposite of a niche

You in here typing essays and almost every paragraph you type just gets worse and worse

Everyone else is trying to replicate these games that already fill a very specific niche and failing
See, you just continue to type stupid shyt.

Multiple similar games have came out like the games listed and have saw big success

The apex one is a troll. Thought that was obvious, but then again this is the coli.

Overwatch one, only a few cared about that, out of 50 million players. Always going to be idiots around unfortunately.
