A recent game made a "glorious" history

And caused an uproar in the industry

Sony announces new game "CONCORD"

Chinese translation of "Agent Xingming"

It will be officially removed from the shelves and refunded for all users who purchased the game

This is a game that took 8 years and 2 billion to build

It has only been online for 12 days

It will be short-lived, and the service will be refunded

This is really rare

It opened the eyes of the majority of players

Translation: We also recognize that other aspects of the game and our initial launch didn't work out as expected. So, at this point in time, we've decided to take the game offline starting September 6, 2024 and explore options including better access to players.

While the best path forward is determined, Concord sales will stop immediately and we will be offering a full refund to all players who have purchased the PS5 or PC version of the game. If you purchased a PlayStation 5 game from PlayStation Store or PlayStation Direct, the refund will be made to your original payment method.

It is less than half a month
before the release of the game

Some players have already finished the game before they even start it

It was called "the fastest delisting legend" by netizens

The standard version of this game is priced at 276 yuan, which is 8 yuan more expensive than "Black Myth: Wukong", but I never expected that "Agent of the Stars" would fail so miserably!

Next door, "Black Myth: Wukong" is full of people, and the number of people online on Steam is still as high as more than 1 million people every day! Agent Starming, on the other hand, has a high of 2,388 concurrent players on Steam and a low of 6. It's really a few happy and a few sad!

According to industry analysts, the digital version of the game sold less than 25,000 copies, and the maximum number of concurrent players on Steam did not exceed 700, and it did not even have as many online players as the worst game of 2023, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.

So why is "Agent of the Stars", which a large game company like Sony spent 2.1 billion and 8 years on? Players gave a negative overall review, saying that it was the most politically correct, respectful, diverse, and impeccable game of all time, so that the character design was so unappealing and, importantly, even the experience of the game was bland. Some people joked that if the game wasn't taken down, the cost of the server could exceed the sales.

The following is a small card and screenshot of the characters of this game, many players agree that "spicy eyes"!

Gender is also emphasized here, "non-binary", many friends may not know what "non-binary" means, Xiaobian is also the first time I have heard of it, to give you a popular science, "non-binary" It means that people have more possibilities in gender identity, not just "male" or "female" These two options.

It can be said how inclusive this game is for character design~ After opening this game, players will immediately feel surrounded by relevant politically correct elements everywhere, telling players everywhere: Look ha! We are a politically correct game!

I really don't blame the players for doing a lot of things

Mocking game characters as complete "ascetic"

The contrast is still a bit obvious

In addition to the criticism of the character design, many players said: The character is ugly! The point is that it's not fun! They have complained that the game shooting experience is very poor, and the details that can be adjusted are pitiful, and the gameplay is very similar to "Overwatch" and "Team Fortress", which is not attractive!

Occasionally, I can't connect to the server for optimization. Or even connected to the game scene can't be displayed normally, at least two out of three games will collapse!

In addition, the game did not go deep enough into publicity, and before the release of "Star Attack", there were almost no other promotional activities other than regular media reviews, and even after the game's release, the focus was still on offline activities. Let a large number of players know and understand this game because it is advertised on social platforms as "die when you go online"!

The characters are ugly, not fun, the optimization hasn't kept up, and the price is not cheap! The publicity is not in place, and the players' eyes are bright, so naturally they will not buy the account of "Star Singing Special Attack", so the poor sales have become an inevitable result.

Because it is very close to the launch time of "Black Myth: Wukong", the two will be compared with each other. "Agent of the Stars" was officially launched for sale, and it received rave reviews before it was launched, with IGN giving a rating of 7 points, which made some netizens feel unhappy about it, saying that the game is so politically correct, but the rating is so low, only 7 points!

At the same time, Black Monkey IGN only gave a rating of 8! But in the end, it was still thrown out by sales to verify it!

Finally, I use the words of Feng Ji of "Black Myth: Wukong" as the end of today's article: The most important thing about Black Myth is fun, what 3A is not 3A and 3A is not important! (That's right!) Game! The most important thing is fun! ）
