did newfags who didn't even care about this game latch onto the memes about it so hard because it was one of the only times they were there to see a meme get popularized and finally felt like they had one to call their own and exclaim "i was there!" when it was happening?

It's so weird to me because those games have absolutely nothing that both brings them together yet sets them apart from all else other than being games that /v/ hyperfixated on as being bad without knowing why, other than that they were supposed to
So to me it reads like a Redditor going "bacon, pumpkin spice and Keeanu Reeves!"

The week that Concord released was wild. Watching its 670 concurrent players crater to less than 100 in 3-4 days was glorious to watch.

It was funny how optimistic thought the bomb was, expecting 5-7k concurrent and a shutdown next year.

You have to be retarded.
Concord had literally no hype behind it.
No big name.
It was dead on arrival.

TORtanic on the other ahdn was
1. a big developer behind it
2. a beloved franchise behind it
3. the entire moderator saga
>>
>>722665828
It was actually one of the most exciting times to be a gamer, unironically. Seeing Concord fail and lurking threads, reddit, twitter to see the laughter and meltdowns. All at the expense of Corpos and Libtards. I honestly believe the industry needed Concord's Flop. It should be a Gamer Holiday.

>>722666283
TORtanic was something that occurred in a functional industry. A new TORtanic is made every day, it's meaningless now. No one has to make a concentrated effort to ruin things.

I have this feeling that Marathon could turn things around but that's just the perspective of a non-Bungie fan that sees the way Destiny cultists consoom their slop. It's got an uphill climb but I could still see a future for that game.

Fairgames I see no future for. It's either canceled or a Concord level disaster, and we know now how terrified sony is of the latter scenario.

We have gone beyond the concept of TORtanic and it's kind of hard to grasp. There was no iceberg moment. No one coordinated a harassment campaign to end Concord. It is safe to say nearly no one knew it was coming out at all. It wasnt even discussed here at all until a few whispers after the failed public beta. Even then, it was still very quiet.

We got to witness a self inflicted, shared corporate psychosis. The level of self delusion in that space is hard to describe. We got eye witness reports that indicated most the devs there were essentially living in a micro-USSR type state.

It's not like they didn't try to hype it up. This is a rare case of the woke crowd trying to make it on their own with an AAA original IP.

The hype never materialized because everyone immediately saw it and were instantly turned off. It didn't parasitically leech off an established IP to get built-in hype. It fizzled out as quickly as it was showcased.

>anyone that can collectively tap their demographic
This has been a fool's errand for years and years. Various companies have thought "billion people, billion customers!" and tried to tap into India to total failure. They're frankly impossible to figure out, and the country is extremely poor so most of that billion will never see your product or service let alone afford it or even be interested in it. Companies try pandering to India, and get nothing. Some international stuff not even aimed at it takes off there while other nearly identical stuff does nothing.

It's a waste of time.

But Tigers get fat from eating them.
>>
>>722687613
Avatar didn't do anything notable in India nor does it have any kind of large following there, what are you talking about? And Avatar 1 and 2 both did over 2 billion, not one. It was elsewhere their money was made, all over the globe, from China to US to UK and rest of Europe, etc. China was notable for Avatar 1 in particular because in 2009 their international box office was not nearly as big and developed as it became in the 2010s but it still did over 200 million there, as did the sequel.

I would say Avatar's not particularly styled to Indian blockbuster tastes despite the films having a lot of action and spectacle, they seem to prefer a gaudier kind of action with more heavy usage of overt visual effects (Avatar, obviously, being much more naturalistic in its film-wide visual effects).
