Bull (pause for emphasis) shit.

It's got 30 god damned years to draw on. Properties that longtime fans have been begging for for literal decades.

A quarter century of neglected IP. Just pick some. And make them.

Of course we all know the real problem. Those old IP can't or won't work as an always online live service. So they won't make quintillions of dollars a year. They'd make some money if they're made true to the original vision. But the goal isn't to make some money. It needs to make all the money. It needs to be a killer app. An Overwatch killer or Fortnite killer. Can't ever be happy to just make money. Staying in the black isn't good enough.

I hope every release goes full Concord until they learn their lesson.

That's a good metric to normalize.

The next Concord.
