What would you pay for it? (eBay)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sony<\/a>\u2019s failed live service game has finally become a hit\u2026 with resellers on eBay<\/a>, who are selling the game and it\u2019s limited edition controller for crazy prizes.<\/p>\n

Video games<\/a> don\u2019t have much of a history of famous flops since, unlike movies, it\u2019s usually unclear exactly how much they\u2019ve sold or how much they cost to make. There are exceptions, like the apocalyptic failure of E.T. on the Atari 2600<\/a>, but it\u2019s only in the modern era of live service games that it\u2019s become obvious when something has been a complete disaster.<\/p>\n

That is one way to describe the impossibly short life of Concord<\/a>, which didn\u2019t even last two weeks before Sony announced it was being discontinued<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That meant if you bought the game it was, as an online-only title, suddenly completely useless to you. Sony offered refunds but there\u2019s probably some people that were caught out, who had bought it physically and never worked out how to get their money back. But it seems an easy alternative is to now sell it on eBay.<\/p>\n

Rather than honest customers, that bought the game assuming it was going to be a long-running hit, it seems the majority of copies going up on eBay at the moment are unsold stock, that was taken off shelves once the game\u2019s cancellation was announced.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear why they\u2019ve only started showing up now but a post on the ResetEra<\/a> forum shows it\u2019s happening in both the US and Europe. Although one poster has a photo suggesting that the game is still being sold in shops in the UK, unaware that the game doesn\u2019t work anymore.<\/p>\n

As with anything on eBay, it\u2019s difficult to tell what the going rate actually is, as most copies are being advertised with a Buy It Now price which there\u2019s no guarantee anyone will pay.<\/p>\n
