Concord.

This weekend's two new shooters show off the best and worst of what companies can expect from launching live service games.

"New shooters" might be a little inaccurate since Valve's Deadlock has been in not-so-secret playtesting for months now - images, videos, details, character lineups, and more were leaked weeks in advance as literally tens of thousands of players signed up to the pre-release tests - though the company waited until this weekend to officially announce the MOBA and hero shooter mash-up.
