Prior to its launch last month, Sony had high hopes that Concord would be the latest hero shooter to become a breakout title. However, the reception has been so disappointing that Sony has decided to pull Concord only two weeks after its release, with refunds going out to players who bought it. Now, gaming professionals, journalists, and fans have shared their response to the news online.

Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski expressed his empathy for Concord's quick demise. His first-person shooter, LawBreakers, met a similar fate in 2018.

Art director Michael Maurino also expressed his feelings of solidarity with the team that brought the game to life.
