- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

For those out the loop (probably everyone since no one plays this game it seems) this is Concord by Sony, which after years of dev hell launched two days ago as an online game, but has yet to break 700 players online at a time SteamDB Source. In contrast the four year old, often called abandoned, Red Dead Online has more players during off-peak SteamDB Source
For the record the devs said this game took eight years to make, and might've been pitched even earlier than that. I can't imagine working on a project for a decade and releasing to... This.
Red Dead 2 took 8 years to make. I bet my soul on that Concord was quickly thrown together in the last couple years by temp diversity hires and 3rd party contractors, or at least the version of Concord that we got now. I love that one of the devs said that "a lot of talented people worked on it". If it really took them 8 years to make that is the oppsotite of talent. In 8 years I could probably get get a double masters in programming and game development and make a better game myself.
I love how women and minorities get blamed for failures in industries they barely get to participate in. Get fucked super genius.
I strongly encourage you to try making a game to see what it's like, especially if it sounds like you might enjoy doing it.
Least bigoted g*mer LMFAO
Someone lost his way on the road to 9gag. You're going to dislike this place soon enough.
Please do ping me with the link to the game on Steam once it's done 👍
Therefore, Red Dead 2 was made with the opposite of talent
The end products are not comparable
