Games: Concord’s Shutdown Triggers eBay Price Frenzy

Games Fans React to Concord's Shutdown

The news of Concord, Sony's latest live-service game, shutting down has triggered a frenzy on eBay as players rush to sell their copies. Originally priced at $40, many sellers are now listing their physical copies for exorbitant amounts, reaching as high as $25,000!

Price Trends on eBay

  • Initial Listings: Many copies appeared for around $90 shortly after the shutdown announcement.
  • High Expectations: Some sellers are asking for more than $150, with one notable listing at $25,000.
  • Market Reality: Just because a game is listed at a high price doesn’t guarantee a sale at that price.

Despite the inflated prices, it’s unlikely that a physical copy of a failed game like Concord will hold significant long-term value. However, this moment serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of collectibility in the gaming industry.

The Future of Concord

As refunds roll out for players who bought the game, speculation surrounds its return. Firewalk Studios has hinted at potential future changes, keeping the hope alive for fans. But for now, the rush to sell remains a trending topic among games enthusiasts.
