Summary

PlayStation announced last night that Concord is being shut down this Saturday and will issues refunds to all buyers.
Physical copies are no longer being sold at retailers, which has drastically driven the scarcity up overnight.
Scalpers are already taking advantage, with copies of the game selling online for as much as $150 as collectors scramble to get their hands on this piece of gaming history.

Yesterday, less than two weeks after release, PlayStation announced that it will be taking Concord offline 💦on September 6 and issuing refunds to everyone who purchased the game. It's an unprecedented move spurred on by a disastrous launch as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it never even reached 1,000 p🎃layers on Steam.

With Concord being axed entirely, storefronts have stopped selling physical copies. You won't find it at Smyths, GameStop, Amazon, Game, Very, or any other retailers, and scalpers are taking advantage on this overnight scarcity.

Prices have more than tripled, as eBay is overflowing with Concord copies selling for as much a💦s $150. Many of these now list the game as "RARE", "Recalled", or "Pulled From Shelves", playing on the announcement to drive up the cost.

Looking🌸 through the sold tab, a lot of people have already paid $100 or more (including shipping) to get their hands on physical copies of the game, and there are even bidding wars going on as I write this. Concord has found more value dead than it ever did alive

Buyers Won't Be Able To Play The Game They Bought

With Concord shutting down this Saturday, the game will be forever unplayable unless PlayStation brings it back in the future as a free-to-plaꦓy title. So, anyone who splashes out on a physical copy is buying an expensive 🌞ornament; a piece of gaming history sure, but an expensive ornament all the same.

Copies are being pওriced the same as the limited edition DualSense controller.

Things look a lot different in the UK, however. There aren't nearly as many listings, just a meager two, and one is priced at a staggering £10,000. It's a bit ambitious — nobody is going to buy it — but the other is being sold at a similar price to those in the US at £90. It currently has three watchers, so there's some interest on our dreary little island🌠, but nobody has paid over £50 for a 🐠copy yet, let alone $150.
