The recent release of 'Black Myth: Wukong' on August 19, 2024, has proven to be a massive commercial success, selling 10 million copies within just three days.

PlayStation Director Ryan Ellis acknowledged the failure of 'Concord', noting that certain aspects did not resonate with players as intended.

This game, inspired by the Chinese classic 'Journey to the West', has been marketed without any political themes, which seems to resonate well with players.

In contrast, two recent games promoting leftist themes, 'Concord' and 'Dustborn', have struggled significantly in the market.

'Concord', developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony, launched on August 23, 2024, but will be taken offline on September 6, 2024, with refunds being issued to players.

At launch, 'Concord' only managed to attract 697 concurrent players, and its peak player count dwindled to just 83, with current numbers lingering in the mid-20s.

This performance is notably lower than other poorly received games, indicating a lack of player interest.

'Dustborn', developed by Red Thread Games, faced criticism for its overtly liberal themes and characters that engage in cancel culture.

Critics have labeled both 'Concord' and 'Dustborn' as poorly made, pointing to weak writing, one-dimensional characters, and a lack of depth in storytelling.
