Both the development time and the budget have come in at a variety of different numbers with people refuting them, and I'll bet several of those figures depend on how you count. The range is now somewhere between 4-10 years, and $50-$400M, which is an absurd amount of variance, but even at 4 years and $50M, it's still probably too long and too much money to spend on a game that you don't know is going to find a substantial audience.
I guess Concord isn't coming back as free-to-play then.
If it did, it would have just been throwing good money after bad.
Concord/Firewalk is gonna be a running joke for years to come
Damn and I thought lawbreakers was bad
Lawbreakers was at least a good game.
