Sony president does some soul searching on why Concord Floped
Sony president Hiroki Totoki has shared insights on why the live service game Concord failed. During a Q&A session following Sony's latest financial earnings call, Totoki explained that the company is still learning about live service games and needs to improve its processes. He mentioned that better user testing, internal evaluations, and smoother coordination between development and sales teams could have helped prevent Concord's failure.
Totoki also highlighted the importance of selecting the right timing for game releases to maximize performance. Sony plans to apply the lessons learned from Concord to future titles, aiming to balance single-player games with live-service games.
It's a tough lesson for Sony, but it seems they're committed to improving their approach. What do you think about their strategy?

๐ก Career Tip of the week ๐ก
Highlight content in the โFeaturedโ section
Your Featured section isnโt just an extra tab for your LinkedIn profile. Itโs your power move to command attention.
Most people dont use it and its honesly an waste.
Think of it as your personal in-game montage:
- Your best achievements
- Your top-tier work samples
- The moments that show you can go above and beyond
This is where you show, not tell why youโre a top player in your industry. Whether itโs a killer resume, an article you wrote, or a portfolio piece that wows, the Featured section allows you to curate your narrative.
For instance, I have my Free resume checklist for people on the hunt and plan updating it more soon. Iโve already seen a difference in engagement.
Why does this matter?
Because recruiters are watching. They scroll your profile like theyโre searching for a rare loot drop. Donโt let them leave empty-handed.
Whatโs stopping you from leveling up your LinkedIn profile?
Share your ideas or questions belowโIโd love to help you craft your highlight reel.
