As Concord flops, Sony exec says company doesn't have enough original IP.
The issue is that Sony backed a product that heavily pushed a political agenda, which led to swift and massive pushback. If Sony had pushed the developer to focus on non-political elements with a strong, lengthy single-player story, Concord might have become a genuinely unique offering. I mean, I would’ve probably played something like that, especially since Blizzard scrapped the story mode for Overwatch 2—a feature many were really excited about.
All I can say to their decision is "FRNxT GHRT sony GURM" and then point to random things.
