Sad! Not good!
If you’re not into the gaming scene, Concord is what they call a AAA title. It means Sony paid a TON of money to back its development over the last 8 years, including purchasing the developer, Firewalk.
This was supposed to be a game that your children’s children would be talking about one day.
But instead, it flopped, failing to even reach 1,000 concurrent players online within days of its release this month – what might be a new record of failure, in fact. That number has dropped to an almost-unheard of number for a game with this size budget.
From IGN:
Data from player tracking website SteamDB reveals Concord, which debuted on August 20, 2024 through the $59.99 Digital Deluxe Edition or August 23 through the $39.99 Standard Edition, had a peak player count of 697 on August 23.
Helldivers 2, another live service game from Sony which launched in February 2024, hit a peak concurrent player count of 155,926 during its opening weekend, The Finals hit 242,619, and even Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leage, which was dubbed a disappointment by Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav and caused a $200 million hit to revenue, debuted with 12,786 peak concurrent players on Steam. Concord’s is just 5% of that number.
The game raised a lot of eyebrows when people noticed how almost every playable character is a diverse girlboss or gay-looking dude.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
