Yes, this is a real thing. After news broke that Concord was coming, there’s now a Change.org petition calling for the game to be re-released on the grounds that people were too busy to play around the time of last month’s release.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Sony and Firewalk Studios announced on September 4 that Concord would be shutting down on September 6 after having a hard time attracting the kind of player base Sony bigwigs were clearly hoping for at launch. Players who purchased the game on PS5 and PC before the sale was discontinued will receive a full refund, a first move that has created a buzz for the game among potential collector sellers.

Now, it’s also filtered down to people who remember all the weird things that happened surrounding the release of the so-bad-but-good meme Morbius, which I’m sure was a movie and not just A bunch of jokes. Several posts were made on social media, editing the infamous 2022 Change.org petition calling for the film to be brought back to theaters, and now a similar petition has been posted in Concord.
“We were all busy that week – please free Concord again” was the title and only demand of the petition, which was launched yesterday (September 4) by a Twitter user named Vora Sumi. “Sony Firewalk Studios’ hero shooter Concord is shutting down on September 9th; just 3 weeks after launch,” they wrote. “I firmly believe the game still has a chance and should be re-released!”
It’s not quite the cute and witty blurb that came with the Morbius petition, but they get points for trying, even if they got one pretty important detail wrong in the process of fudging the timeline – the closing date is September 6, so if anything they underestimated the urgency of what they were actually trying to achieve, for reasons other than the phrase “shit and giggles.”
As of this writing, the petition has 25 signatures, just 25 short of the current goal of 50 signatures. “I’m too busy to play ‘Strike’ or watch the latest ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,'” wrote a user named John Marstall, who I assume is not a certain Cowboy’s evil twin, “Then I’m too busy to try Concord. I’ll probably be busy again, but it’s worth a try.”
I don’t know about you, but I expect the Mobius petition to hit 32,000 signatures at any time.
That’s not the only weird thing that’s happened since PlayStation’s ill-fated hero shooter announced it was shutting down, with some players starting to kill their characters as quickly as possible at the start of a match to try and win points for the game. before sunset.
