Welcome to The Gaming Duo, where friendships are built through gaming! Hosted by Kelvin and Rob, this is the gaming talk show that brings you the discussions that matter most to gamers. Today, we’re joined by our good friend Samurai Kibji to dive into one of Sony’s biggest live-service failures: Concord.
After selling fewer than 25,000 copies across PC and PS5 since its August release, Sony has announced that they are shutting down the game, issuing full refunds to players, and pulling it from stores. What went wrong with Concord? Why did players lose interest so quickly? And what does this mean for Sony’s future in live-service games, especially following delays and cancellations of titles like The Last of Us: Factions?
We’ll break down Sony's struggles, discuss whether Concord was doomed from the start, and speculate on the future of their live-service strategy.

The hype is awesome! Talking about games in depth is awesome! You guys are awesome! Ok enough of that but after being on MadZ Gaming and GameOnDaily along with hosting some panels of my own, it’s always a joy to be able to talk in depth about games with folks as into them as I am asking questions that the average consumer doesn’t ask for the thrill of fun conversation. I’d love to talk with you and promote it to my platforms where hopefully a few fans join us and co mingle.
Here are some great episodes to start with. Or, check out episodes by topic.
