Sony hero shooter Concord launched late last week, and its Steam concurrents haven't yet topped a thousand. The dramatically low turnout has already earned it the title of biggest flop of the year on social media, and if you caught any of the discussion on Reddit, TikTok, and other platforms over the weekend, you mostly saw people gloating, posting screenshots of SteamDB concurrency charts and tacking on a generic dunk, or claiming "it rules" that we can all see a big game fail.

My guess at the real reason for all this grave dancing is that it feels like a victory over FOMO.
