Sony announced Wednesday it was shutting down its first -person shooter Concord .

The game was meant to be a live-service game that constantly released updates over the course of several years .

Concord was a brand-new franchise that didn’t get much of a marketing push and drew the ire of “anti-woke” snivelers.

Concord may have gotten off to a slow start with gamers and critics.

The same could be said of Elder Scrolls Online , which has since made more than $2 billion .

The future of indies is uncertain and may be somewhat dependent on funding efforts like Innersloth’s Outersloth initiative.
