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

pushsquare.com:

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.

On X, content creator Radec highlighted the optimal way to earn XP, with players intentionally tanking matches by leaping to their doom. This phenomenon was corroborated by Washington Post journalist Gene Park, and it seems like the game is locked in a death spiral of a new and entirely literary kind. It's certainly a fascinating way to spend the game's dying moments; so long, Concord, we barely knew you.

Dead practically on arrival

Putting in work

Are you racing towards Concord's Platinum Trophy by any means necessary? Is your head still spinning from the news? Come back down to solid ground in the comments section below.

I am glad I don't care enough about trophies to do this lol

I love a platinum dropping but this seems ridiculous

This is kinda fitting but disturbing

Kinda reminds me of an exploit in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 that I remember doing to get XP really fast. If I remember right, it involved the player triggering an infinite respawn with the enemies.

Good times lol.

I get the mindset. This will be a crazy cool platinum to have in the collection in a couple years time. Doesn't reflect particularly well on the level of fun the game offers though.

I love trophy hunting as much as the next guy, but this is just absurd.
