Just picked up a new hat from the game store. Can't wait to get home from vacation and play, I've been waiting for months for this game!

Honestly, swag from such a stupid dead game would be hilariously fun to have.

They had problems selling it on gear.playstation.com, I had to contact like 3 support people and they eventually submitted a manual order directly to the warehouse (?). They said they had an order to remove certain items from the site but it hadn't gone through yet. They didn't specify which items, but I'm sure you can make a good guess.

Edit: The title is just a meme, but I did legitimately buy one of these just to have a memento of the biggest flop in gaming history.

I dunno if I could manage to spend $30 just to be reminded of something that'll be forgotten by December...

Are you sure you're not a Sony Psyop to get us all to buy Concord merch to help recoup the loss?

There's no way any amount of hats they can sell would make a dent in a wasted 8 year long development that had like 700 players max. They're even removing the merch from the store, I'd imagine the bad PR of having these things around is worse than getting the money from selling them.

Literally indistinguishable from startup company swag. If someone wore this and I didn’t know what Concord was I wouldn’t even bat an eye

Yeah their other stuff was even worse. They had a mug, a t-shirt and a hoodie. Those 3 things had cheap letters put on that looked like they would come off in a couple washes. I only got the hat because it had a patch that couldn't wash off. It's all very generic and low effort.
