"Concord barely lasted two weeks before Sony pulled the plug on it, and it seems determined to keep the game offline as it just issued DMCA notices against a fan-made effort to revive the live-service shooter as Concord Delta. Recently, several Concord fans had managed to resurrect the game with some technical wizardry, and although the project was in a buggy WIP state, it was still a playable build on a custom server."
"The team of developers responsible for reviving Concord did take measures to protect themselves and kept the player circle small, but copyright infringement claims against videos filed by Marscan--a company that monitors online content for large clients such as Sony and has issued DMCA notices to multiple creators in the past for content like the Bloodborne demake--has the group fearing that legal repercussions might be on the way."
Concord suffered a disastrous two-week launch that resulted in Firewalk Studios' closure. Fans recreated a playable Concord Delta build on a custom server using technical methods, but the project remained a buggy work-in-progress. Marscan, a content-monitoring company working for large clients including Sony, filed copyright-infringement claims against videos of the revival, and Sony issued DMCA notices. Developers behind the revival paused invites and limited player access due to legal concerns. Sony has not targeted the custom server itself, only public footage. Sony refunded buyers and the UK House of Commons cited the title when discussing video game preservation.
