Players Take the Easy Way Out in Pursuit of Concord's Coveted Platinum PS5 Trophy | Push Square

Fresh off the news of the game's unprecedented flop and subsequent removal from sale, Concord's remaining player base appears to be taking the easy way out; in pursuit of the game's Platinum Trophy and easy XP gains, Concord players are now committing suicide en masse, resulting in darkly humorous scenes.
