Episode 176

Concord, the latest GAAS multiplayer offering from PlayStation, has crashed and burned. Today, we discuss this historic failure from multiple angles: What does this failure mean for Firewalk Studios? How should Sony shift their first party strategy? Can Concord potentially return one day? As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Super Mario Eclipse, Black Myth: Wukong, Tactical Breach Wizards). This episode was recorded in September 2024. Royalty free music from BenSound.
