It's no secret that 2024 hasn't been kind to live-service games, with recent months seeing games like XDefiant and Concord shut down—although not always without reason—so it's a bit refreshing to see the recently released Marvel Rivals hit what can only be described as a home run.

This is why I think saying live service overwatch likes have no space isn’t a fair explanation to why Concord failed.
Some of the reasons why I think it failed:

Hard agree. Valve is known for quality of course, but Concord failed for a variety of reasons that wouldn’t have been immediately obvious.

Most definitely. Idk why they thought weekly cutscenes of literally nobodies would be something PvP players would be into.
I often don’t even hear anything about those games until the news about their shutdown goes around.
