Concord refers to the ill-fated hero shooter developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Despite reportedly being in development for eight years, the game met a swift and unprecedented demise, being taken offline and fully refunded just two weeks after its August 2024 launch due to low player engagement. The 'Concord meme' typically focuses on the massive disparity between its long production cycle, massive rumored budget, and its incredibly short lifespan. It is frequently used by the gaming community as a symbol for the risks of the live-service trend and the fast-moving nature of the modern industry.
