>>717489287
They had to.
They invested so many 100s of millions into this planning on making it their own Marvel Universe shit.

>>717487920
I don't get it. What happened?

>>717491298
>lose nothing
>>717491335
a tax write off is by definition a loss. losses reduce your taxable income so you don't have to pay as much tax (on your profits), it's not a refund of the lost money. the taxes you save are equivalent to the tax rate on the lost money, so if you're paying 20% tax you only save 20% of the money you lost and you still have to eat the other 80% of the loss. why is this so difficult for retards to grasp?

>>717489287
Because outside of the sheer scale of it, there's really nothing to say about Concord's failure outside of that it was just a bad fucking game with character designs nobody liked in a genre that demanded said things both be outstanding in order to compete in a cutthroat business.
There's no big silver bullet that killed Concord, or a million little micro mistakes that ended up toppling the shaky tower. The game fucking sucked and its big push was all because it was some CEO's hypothetical golden goose.

>>717491335
>>this is a captivating theory
It's really not. The game had a long development, nothing in it looks particularly "low budget", in fact it's quite high end looking, albeit with terrible designs, and there was a clear large push behind the game from Sony, including a Secret Level episode to promote it. All in all, an AAA scale game in development for eight years on an eventually large dev team costing 200 million in 2024, is a pretty expected number.

>>717492604
Money laundering is a scheme where you, buy a legitimate business (i.e. candy shop), use illegal money (money made from drugs, thieving, human trafficking) to buy resources for legitimate business (candies), and put the profit you made from legitimate business (money made from selling candies) into your bank account.
Basically running a legitimate business without a running cost, at the same time lie to your bank that your source of income came from doing legitimate businesses instead of illegal activities.
Sony may be a corporate retards but they are not a mafia, even if they are a front for a criminal organization, it wouldn't work as money laundering scheme because they lost money selling Concord.

Why does anything take the name of Concord at this point? Every time, it leads to unimaginably massive financial failures.

>>717494526
well you see there was once a supersonic jet airliner called Concorde, and one day after several decades of operation for airlines in the UK and France, one of the jets exploded, and that was the end of that airliner as a commercial venture

>>717488408
Detached management fooled by cooked "analytics" and agenda-driven employees, many such cases

>>717493971
they can pay the devs whatever amounts of money in illegally gained cash, then tax writeoff the whole thing and there is your washing.

>>717493971
It's also a way of recording "profits" from supposed sales, inserting your illegal money as now accounted for legal profit, hence why barbershops for instance are a common money laundering choice by criminal organizations, because they often operate on cash only and there's no real record of purchases, given it's just cutting hair, you can say you cut hair for such and such number of customers per day, regardless of the real number.

Video game development, incidentally, is not a very optimal environment for laundering money, given the relationship between the developer and publisher, and how money is made from video games (hint, it comes from sales of the final published game).

If that anon was talking about the idea of a dev skimming money from a development budget from a publisher, that is embezzlement, a completely different crime that has nothing to do with laundering money. Also not an optimal environment for embezzlement because video game publishers tend to notice when a load of their money disappears with no development to show for it (see Retro Studios circa 2001, the CEO was actually skimming funds for hookers and blow, Nintendo inevitably found out, and immediately ousted him, took complete hands on control of Retro and revamped development across the studio, resulting in a brutal crunch period for Metroid Prime's development, where most of the final game got done in the final ten months of development despite it having a two year dev cycle). That sort of "grab the money and run" ploy tends to be limited to small time devs on small time projects, usually with individual investor money or crowdfunded money, and of course that dev's name gets dragged through the mud in response so it tends to only work once.

>>717494940
See a carwash makes sense as a money laundering choice because it's a business that ultimately is just soaping up and spraying cars, so it is easy to invent additional fictional sales of car washes and insert the illegal money as "revenue", it's fine for small amounts of money from a small time illegal operation. As it was used in the show, and much of this explained in the show as to why it made sense to use it as the outfit.

A video game developer owned by and developing a triple A project for the video game publisher wing of a multinational conglomerate...not as much.

>>717495272
Three questions: Who is they? What illegal operation is this cash from? How does a tax write-off compensate for the two hundred million plus in losses?

>>717495910
>you have some rando shmuck buys your shitty rug for ten bucks no receipt, then suddenly a grand appears in your cash register
The problem here is that's a sale of goods, which is not how a video game is made. It eventually produces a good which you can sell, but in the meantime you just SPENT money. Where is the profit through which you launder?

You're describing the sale of a video game, not the development of a video game. A video game was produced, then made no revenue, so that's a loss for the publisher, not a profit.

>>717495910
>you declare that money lost, and something tells me its near impossible to check the books for all the expenditures over ten years of gaymdev.
so what's their supposed sekret income you're implying, aside from trying to sell their shitty games?

as a megacorp you are supposed (lololol) to pay a fuckload of taxes. now suddenly you pay 200mil less in tax - thats 200mil unlawful money spent turned into 200mil of taxes you dont have to pay, aka legit money you just gained from your other sources.

>>717496397
If you are a consulting group and get paid to do consulting work for a video game, that is normal business. If you don't like the consulting work that these groups do for video games or believe that it damages the mass market appeal of the final product, that still doesn't make their work illegal, it just makes it dumb.

Is that what you're trying to say? Sony still do lose their illegal money that they made from selling crack or whatever. Illegal money don't grow out of trees.
If they didn't spend money at all making a shitty product, the tax would be 0, without having to lose their hard-earned illegal money at all, so wouldn't that be a better "scheme"?

Bazz/Jas genuinly made me laugh.

despite what breaking bad taught you, "money laundering" is not exclusively to turn funds from illegal sources into taxable income. its a collection of practices to obfuscate where funds are coming from and where they're going.

>>717500685

>>717500883
Explain.

>>717500881
That isn't the actual concept art.
The whole thing was woke from the start, with this being the first character they designed:
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Ezw1dv

>>717501118

>>717501073
Actually it is fundamental to the concept of money laundering that the money be sourced via illegal means, hence the need to launder it. So yes, it is exclusive.

Who is it for, I dont feel like this is for anyone.

I always find it fascinating that developers dont just look at games that have character creators and see what people tend to make, and just try to aim for what is most popular.
>people make wierd monsters
Ok, so make a wierd monster character, people tend to actually like that
>people just make jacked handsome guys and beautiful women
Ok so that makes it easy to make it appealling. Why when they add black people they make them ugly as sin. You would find it a lot easier to crowbar your bullshit in if you made the black characters look good, but I suppose thats the point isnt it, them not looking good is suppose to be the appeal. Youre SUPPOSE to clap and cheer exactly because they look ugly because being normal or good looking is right wing, apparently, only they are allowed to be that. Im glad this shit is dying. The left dies on this shit every time when they claim that being attractive and fit are political ideals.

The big problem with your claim is Concord doesn't look cheap, in fact it looks very high end. That it looks bad doesn't equal looking cheap.

line go up because untaxed profits stayed in comapny and were gains in other part of company.

you're either being intentionally obtuse or you just have an IQ below 80, and you can't comprehend how a megacorp functions, because you think capitalism is exclusively "buy low sell high." endstage capitalism relies upon people like you either way.

So you've decided from a webm of a player running and jumping off a level, that the game must have been cheap to make? It was in development for eight years, it had a very large development team, it has high end graphics and tech, extensive cinematics, marketing pushes (including an episode of Secret Level before the game was even out), and was positioned as a major title for Sony. Why is it impossible that an AAA game in development for eight years cost 200 million by the release in 2024?

Well, she is fit.
I understand making whatever is popular is a viable strategy. At the same time, holding this position suggests you've never really tried to make something. Making something is about inspiration. The inspiration for Concord was a fella named Jean Giraurd AKA Moebius.
Having an inspiration doesn't make something good or bad, especially not a multiplayer game that refused to have a private server browser.
In 2025 to make a viable new multiplayer game you need to do 2 things
1. Not offend 4chan / pander to 4chan with "based" porno bodies ready to be ported into SFM
2. Have a known IP for the normies
3. Have reasonable gameplay quality
Concord had no.3 but internet children who don't understand many opposing things may be true will never admit this

Yeah, it was a worse flop than Heaven's Gate, the film whose failure single-handedly killed the New Hollywood era and restored the cautious, been-counting studio heads to power, curtailing the privileges of young auteur directors.

>>717503774
Only really stupid people don't know that stores wait until you go over a certain amount of money for it to be worth prosecuting. If you steal once or twice ever, you're probably not worth dealing with. They wait until you start doing it every time and then hit you with it all at once. Mostly the dudes actually cutting into profits like those who take lots of razors. Yes there is a guy hired to just sit around and roll the tapes. I've watched them do it.

Thinking no one ever gets charged so it's fine is like thinking you have a winning strategy for the lottery. You're duping yourself lol

>>717509014
Depends on the state. It's literally just the amount that switches thievery off a misdemeanor. Of course they charge for that lol, it's like $1500 in some places. That's not nothing.

If you're stealing less than that, then they're not gonna bother with you, you're probably not worth the trouble unless you're making a scene. Once you go over then you're fucked though.

It's the same with the wealthy too. A little insider trading or tax evasion is no big deal, they want the ones that are worth the time. That's why nothing happens to anyone and then suddenly one of them gets 80 years lol

>>717509014
Every country has a minimum limit under which they won't do shit.
Here it is 50 bucks.
The store can't ask for compensation (so more than the value the product is worth) either.
Only if you call out a shoplifter and he refuses to give it back, or he runs away, it is worth to even call the police.
Or if you tell him that he isn't allowed back anymore and he still comes. Then it is trespassing.

Store owners are really cucked here. Telling you to fuck off and never come back is the best option. Better than waiting for you to hit an amount that is worth prosecuting.

>>717500084
none of the designs outside of bazz, fatass, green fox girl, and doom troon are memorable so for all I know you could've swapped out the rest and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.

>>717510457
Because it absolutely didn't transfer into their final semi-photorealistic artstyle AT ALL.
If they went with something like Clash - Artifacts of Chaos' hatching shader it could've worked but instead you got an unappealing mess.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the reasons how they managed to waste so much money on the game:
They made pretty much ALL of their assets, down to insignificant shit like cooking spatulas, instant noodle containers or dozens of different futuristic porta potties, from scratch but probably couldn't decide on an artstyle and kept scrapping their stuff over and over.

>>717507936

>>717510457
That's what you get for going with overly realistic mocapped visuals. If they tried something more stylized, it would've worked better. Case in point - the animated shorts, where the mooks look cooler than the heroes.

Know what's funny? One of the folders from the Concord concept art on Artstation is literally labeled "Gardener", lmao.
Sadly, only the thumbnail is loading.

I kind of like these rough sketches. They could've made all the characters ugly if they wanted and it would be fine as long as they actually looked alien and not like recolored human tards.They wanted to make the next Star Wars but didn't commit to modelling actually monstrous-looking bodies, limbs and heads.

I wonder what the people working on Concord thought about it shutting down so quickly. Did they have a suspicion about it flopping? Were they taken by surprise? Did they play it themselves after it launched? I'd love to see some interview jumping between everybody (not just a few devs but every field involved, even voice actors).

critical race theory asserts that the boondocks guy is a self-hating negro due to white supremacy and humor is also white supremacy and so is honesty and beauty and truth and everything else that makes society functional.

Does it? They had a fuckton of ongoing content planned, a tie-in from Secret Level (from Blur Studios, those episodes don't get made overnight) , the game wasn't broken or busted on release, it was just very generic. There's also development material going back long before the summer 2024 reveal. They made exactly the game they set out to make. It just happened to be a game that failed to interest any gamers whatsoever.

This was not some last second slapped together thing. In fact it being very dated in its faux-GOTG tone in trailers, and even its hero shooter genre well after the many other clones of Overwatch were out and many had already died off, points to a protracted development where the original idea stayed the same and thus was way late to the party.

concord didn't even come out a year ago, there was not enough time for its impact to be felt
but there's already been a bunch of canceled projects that seemed like to-be gigaflops like concord since it happened haven't there?

>>717504487
Who's they? You're claiming because Sweet Baby received a "paycheck protection loan" at some point, a video game they didn't work on, made by Sony Interactive and their subsidiary Firewalk Studios, must have been "funded by USAID"? Where's the connection?

Is there anyone in Concord who should be saved and ported to another game

Uuuuhhhhhhhh Bungiebros?!?!

say what you want, at least Concorde tried to be its own thing, instead of taking a long existing IP and ruining it with DEI. It was literally what I would tell the liberal left to do if they wanted to make their own games, because it didn't hurt anyone. You don't like it? Just don't play it. But at least it wasn't a niggersucker assassin's creed or bearfucker Baldur's gate, or trannyfag Dragon age.

Its reputation isn't going to change. The funny thing is that people will play it strictly because of the shitty reputation it has. It will be more popular being provided by someone who has no connection to the actual company, because you know that they aren't being genuine.

I still believe that Baz would've been a good design for a character that came out as ironic but secretly a badass

female voice actress for the tranny, naturally

that animation alone, how many approvals did it pass through to get made? this game existing is a testament to the woke cult, how dangerous it is. people must have been too afraid to say no all the way through development.

armor ogres original design had a more realistic helmet with space for a visor, a reinforcing bar, and a small window to look above you.
also had a pack of 3 survey flags on the back, instead of one retarded flag permanently mounted to the shoulder for no reason.
still had the retarded intestine greebling.

the idea was there were these clans of scrappers on a junkworld that made power armor to traverse the endless junkyard and salvage shit.
not a bad concept either.

>>717501573
>Who is it for
the game was designed from the top down to scam whatever company was dumb enough to buy it and its studio, which ended up being sony.
The original parent company probablymonsters made firewalk studios and halfmade concord, then looked for a buyer.

It was unironically a scam they have pulled off 3 times targeting corporate trend-chasers and Sony decided to doubledown after being fooled.

>t. been to their only office, seen their gamedev equipment and heard them talking about gearing up for another round of new employees for the next scam

>>717503000
see >>717533207
the most confusing part is that Sony tried to make it happen after getting a full look at what they had bought.

You could probably get away with the design if everything else was just as goofy and you didn't take it seriously. Look at JoJo, all the characters would look weird IRL, but in the anime they look cool as fuck.

>>717533502
You would think so, but its not hard to look into.

storm lancers is probably what it was getting people and equipment for.
>The organisation was made up of several semi-independent AAA studios, including Cauldron, Battle Barge, Firewalk and Hidden Grove. At the centre was ProbablyMonsters itself, which handled IT, finance, security and so on.

>>717533847
it was how trophy hunters decided to optimize getting the last achievements left kek
the playerbase was mostly those guys after a few days

>>717533657
I don't think that's the part that was in contention.

>>717534224
fair enough, but almost nobody talks about how sony got scammed so hard by these guys who made out with enough of a profit to prune their deadwood and pivot into something else right away.

consider the following situation: you're an artist on the game. you know it's garbage. you know it's a complete and utter shitpile, absolutely irredeemable. and management is even worse. but hey, so long as the paycheck clears.

the next design meeting your colleague puts up baz. do you say "hey that's thugnificent" or do keep quiet (and try to not laugh out loud) and help nod it along?

For themselves.
Im a character art lead in a big game studio, and trust me, most devs despise gamers and will make shit badly out of spite.
Game dev gets this baffling religious idealization from gaming media and from fans, but in reality its just a job, very few people who make games play games, and even less care about what they make.
You usually treat it as a contract work, and start looking for a new gig before the current crashesh and burns, and just switch studios every 3-10 years, some work only a year or two in a company before switching, when you look up those devs they have like 10 credits in 10 years in 5 studios.

The warning signs were blaring on high alert when the OPEN beta for the game peaked at like 1-3k players, while the Marvel Rivals CLOSED beta did 50k. One of them had interest, one of them did not.

>>717540268
it managed to have less players then its own closed beta, I remember people posting reddit screencaps of people coping about it.

>>717540268
all of those must have faked their reactions, i bet none of them have videos of playing the game after it released
