The only ads I saw suggested it was PS5 exclusive lmao. amazing job Sony
What’s Concord? I’ve literally never heard of this before
Spoiler: if you don’t advertise at all, people won’t play your game
I’ve seen ads on random apps. But the logo looks like a '90s PC software logo. And nothing showed what the game actually looked like.
The clips they’ve shown look like the fake video games that you see in an advertisement for a specialized university.
I think Valve would disagree.
~60k players on Deadlock yesterday, ~100k today. Probably more tomorrow. It’s still in playtest.

Also:
This is one of the problems of growing up in a different age. This was advertised, but are you any of the places they promoted it? It was the main game in a state of play, they bought ad space on steam, and I assume it was advertised elsewhere where I wouldn’t have seen it. But not everybody is watching TV anymore, and we are on Lemmy. Probably not the best place to judge what’s being advertised to the masses lol.
I watch plenty of streamers (about half of which play shooters), my primary gaming platform is Steam, and I do watch a small amount of TV, where other games have been advertised during this time. If they used those platforms for advertising, they didn’t do it well. You got me on the State of Play tho
Sony’s executives thought it was a great idea to buy this studio when they first saw the game as it was reported last year. I don’t know if the character designs were mandated to be this way because Sony executives demanded it, or if the devs designed them the way they are. Did they want to chase the blue hair vocal minority on xitter that complain about games not being diverse enough, then don’t buy the games with these incredibly diverse, brave and quirky character designs anyway? On top of that a $40 price tag is enough to make a dead on arrival game among other issues like a forced PSN account and no Steam Deck support.
