Oh goodie, another online-only f2p hero/extraction shooter with daily quests and ~~lootboxes~~ Ultimate Maintenance Boxes.

This is why I'm unconvinced when people make the argument that "the PvP hero shooter market is just too saturated" when a game like Concord flops.

The Chinese gaming market is really heating up it seems.

To be fair, if Concord was F2P and didn't cost $40, it probably would still be around rn. Or if they advertised it better. A shitton of comments about the game were saying they never even heard of it until it was in the news for getting shutdown so quickly.

Looks at reviews

Looks at playercount graph

Nahh… I’ll sit this one out.

It managed to overtake a game released in 2013?

Very impressive.

It's consistently one of the most played games on steam.

112 thousand are playing it right now, making it the 9th most currently played game.

Dota 2 which is almost always the most or second most played game was also released in 2013

If you think it would be more impressive that it overtook more recent games on Steam... Well look at the list, it overtook all of those too except CS2 and PUBG (if you even consider that a recent game at this point)

The picture in the article is the top 7, irrespective of release date

Well yeah, a game still popular after a decade must be pretty damn badass.

Age is mostly irrelevant in regards to game quality.

I still play the single player game all the time I wish there was some dlc for it though.
