Yep, this is an actual thing. Following the news that Concord isn’t long for this world, there’s now a Change.org petition for the game to be re-released, reasoning that people were just too busy to play in the time around its launch last month.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Sony and Firewalk Studios announced on September 4 that, following a rocky launch that saw it struggle to attract the kind of playerbase the former’s bigwigs were clearly hoping for, Concord will be shutting down on September 6. Players who bought it on PS5 and PC prior to sales ceasing will be offered full refunds, with the first of those moves having made the game a bit of a phenomenon among would-be collectable sellers.
Now, it’s also infiltrated the ranks of people who remember all the weird stuff that happened around the release of the so-bad-it’s-good meme spectacular Morbius, which I’m reliably informed was a film, not just a bunch of jokes. Following some posts on social media editing the infamous 2022 Change.org petition calling for the movie to be brought back to cinemas, there’s now a similar one for Concord.
