Yeah Concord the video game was a terrible idea.

It's really rather shocking no one in the studio stopped them like hey guys, gals we've got a problem here.
we've been going about this all wrong, if we want to make a shooter we should be glazing the gooners and making our characters smoking hot for the male gaze because uh.
as it turns out only like 4% of women even play shooters so if this is going to sell to anyone it's going to be men where we get our revenue from
so you know, it's either going to sell to the gooners or no one.
if we wanted female gamers we should be cloning star dew valley or going after the same demographic that fell in love with Final Fantasy and Dragon quest.
