       Sony closed down the studios that worked on ConcordHalf a billion dollars lost, thousands of jobs lost, all for one bad game to stay online for 10 daysBiggest flop in the history of the games industry. This trumps Atari ET in every aspect.Unprecedented. The worst thing to ever happen in the games industry.

       @ocean The most common number I’ve seen thrown around is $200m budget, with one source saying $400m. Bloomberg reported that across the two closed studios, 210 employees will lose their jobs.An unprecedented disaster, to be sure, and a terrible thing to happen to hundreds of likely very talented people.But I’m not sure if it equates to the entire industry collapsing in one fell swoop. We’ve seen >13k jobs in the industry lost just this year. Concord is, tragically, just a drop in the bucket.
