Republicans and democrats have all the time in the world for playing video games and engaging in any other manner of masturbatory distraction. Neither of you fucks seem to have a moment to spare for reason, cooperation, or true good will tho.

Two morons yelling at each other from opposite sides of a fence that doesn't even exist, because they were too lazy and self-involved to build it.

This person get it. Good to see a fellow human being who understand all these people rooting for politicians got baited into being divided instead of uniting.

But serious explain to me in a short sentence

what was Concord's unique selling point supposed to be?

Pronouns

Gayness & lameness

I mean memes and snark aside I genuinely struggle to understand what is supposed to differentiate this game from all the others
When Halo came out, there were already tons of murky brown FPS games. Halo's clear USP was the novel combat system of regenerating shields + melee, a space opera narrative campaign and vehicles. They sold it as Halo, Combat Evolved.

In normal game development cycles, the very first kernel, before any contracts or hiring or a single line of code or asset produced, is the idea. The hook. We just got a game that is very clearly "You play as Zelda, and you can summon any world object / NPC and move it around for puzzles". Sometimes selling points are derivative and bland, but at least identifiable. "Its a star wars in the assassin's creed formula", or "Its skyrim, in space!". Or just riding recognizeable IP like the harry potter game.
what the actual fuck was concord supposed to be. I've tried to google this game and the closest thing I've found is 'it was supposed to have extra cutscenes released over time'. Otherwise all I know about the game is its got fat ugly bitches.

That's because gayness and lameness is literally the answer to your question. That was it's selling point, that the characters are gay and/or lame, designed to appeal to the cult of weakness. No meme here it's 100% serious

I am left of marx and would never buy ubisoft trash.

Even liberal gamers gotta hate these games coming out, they are straight trash. As a right leaning person idgaf if some people want gay characters if teh game is great. as long as they ain't doing the deed all the time and its optional so i can pick my own routes we good

What really makes this a unique historical moment is how utterly at odds the message pushing and DEI initiatives are with capitalist drive to maximize profits.
Hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on too-big-to-fail turds like Concord, Rings of Power, The Acolyte, etc that purposefully antagonize consumers and display an unbridled contempt for their fandom, only to flop catastrophically.

Industry cynically co-opting social movements purely for their gain makes perfect sense. It defined the 80s, 90s, 00's. If representation of lesbians in hijabs is trendy, a company like McDonalds would put it in a super bowl commercial if they thought it was going to turn a profit by enticing cuckolds to go stuff grease down their gullet. But an industry self-destructing because DEI movements gained so much momentum they became unstoppable derailed trains? Its only explained by human incompetence, a demented society, an idiocracy. It goes into what I've said many times dismissing conspiracy theorists trying to connect lengths of string on a whiteboard to claim da jews are doin it, the only rational explanation is that there is an epidemic of untalented, self-serving people in positions where their word holds dogmatic weight, people failing upwards and rotting institutions from within. It could be the FBI, Disney, the Secret Service, Sony Entertainment. They aren't in a grand conspiracy, its just a world run by people who can't tie their own shoelaces
