You can’t really gauge its Steam reviews because there are only 13(!) total so far, reflective of a game that has launched with just a few hundred players. 224, as I’m writing this article. Sub-Concord levels. Yes. Concord is a unit of measurement now.

The Concord legacy lives on.

The good games they've worked on have included some of the most praised games in recent years. If you want to ask why this keeps happening, you have to have massive blinders on to ignore the likes of God of War: Ragnarok and Alan Wake II, both firmly in recent memory, and also realize that basically no writer on earth could save something like Suicide Squad from its criticisms.

Like I said, some good games. Which by the way still received criticism from people about certain DEI related involvements, whether you agree or disagree with that is different thing, but the criticism was there too.

"Criticism" is a charitable word for what that is.

Anything not about straight white men will have people complaining about DEI bullshit. It's never a reason a game has failed. They fail because they're bad games. They might also include DEI stuff, but it's not the cause.

Edit: correction, those games listed are about straight white men. Anything that includes a character that is not a straight white man will have those people complaining. They're the most fragile people in the world.
