"Concord's legacy is not as a premium alternative to Overwatch and Valorant, but rather as a yardstick against which live-service game failure is measured."
"PUBG: Blindspot launched in early access with the goal of refining gameplay systems through player feedback, but ultimately faced challenges due to low player counts."
"Sequoia Yang stated, '...after careful consideration, we have come to the conclusion that we are no longer able to sustainably provide the level of experience we set out to deliver through Early Access.'"
Concord, released two years ago, has become a benchmark for live-service game failures, lasting only 14 days. PUBG: Blindspot, a tactical shooter, will shut down on March 30, lasting 40 days longer than Concord. Despite regular updates and player feedback, PUBG: Blindspot struggled with low player counts, leading to long match wait times. ARC Team's Sequoia Yang stated that they could not sustainably provide the desired player experience, prompting the decision to close the game. Krafton aims to become an AI-first gaming company amid these challenges.
