Concord PS5, PC Scalpers Attempt to Cash In on 'Rare Collector's Item' | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

With time running out and Concord servers set to switch off tomorrow, September 6th, scalpers seem to be attempting to make some quick money off of PlayStation's soon-to-be-unplayable multiplayer shooter.

Spotted by IGN, while physical copies of Concord were quickly swept off retail shelves and the digital version is no longer available for purchase, it looks like some enterprising individuals are interested in a little more than just a refund. Sealed copies of the game, which reportedly only managed a dismal 25k copies sold, are being flogged for up to and over four times the retail price of $40. Surprisingly, the listings mention that servers are going down imminently, even advertising the fact:

«Ships overnight on September 4; get on September 5 so you can play for a day before the servers shut down. On September 6, the game will be a rare, unplayable collector's item.» Sound good? That one's going for $119.88. Another, listed at $179.99, warns potential customers to «buy at your own discretion. This rare and highly sought-after game is being recalled and is available now in a USA sealed package».

Dead practically on arrival

What do you think? Is a copy of Concord indeed a collector's item? Is it a false advertisement to describe the game as being «rare and highly sought-after»? Place your initial bid in the comments section below.

Hahahaha. Worth a try I suppose. I'll still stand by that limited edition controller though. Was a looker. Still did the Astro one instead saying that.

We'll see the boxes at local swap meets going three for $5.

I respect the hustle
