- Concord developers received a commemorative plaque celebrating the launch of the game last year.
- One such plaque has been put up for auction, with the highest bid currently standing at over $2500.
- The bidding period ends in five days, so the price is expected to rise further.
Over a full year after it was shut down, Concord remains one of gaming’s biggest failures. The PlayStation live-service title cost millions of dollars and was expected to stay up for several years as an ongoing release.
Despite this failure, it seems someone is willing to pay as much as $2500 for an exclusive Concord plaque.
Why it matters: The game’s support was cut short in record time, leading to Concord and its studio being shut down weeks after its release. Therefore, it comes as a surprise that an item related to this title is fetching such a price.
For context, these plaques were given to developers of Firewalk Studios as part of Concord’s release celebration. As per the listing, this particular plaque belonged to Chelsea Grace, a member of Firewalk Studios’ art team.
The plaque has been put on auction on Goodwill and has already received a bid as high as $2,526. Although this price is already quite high, the bidding period will last over the next five days, so an even higher final price is expected.
The person who ends up winning the bid will also receive a Concord disc alongside the plaque, but the disc itself will be of little use now that the game has been pulled offline.
Because collectors typically agree to pay exorbitant prices for rare items, the Concord plaque will likely fetch quite a high price once all is said and done.
At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether developer Chelsea Grace herself is responsible for this auction.
Even with Concord failing as badly as it did, many Firewalk Studios developers expressed a sense of pride in their work, so it would be odd to see them getting rid of a commemorative item like this so soon.
What are your thoughts on the auction? Do you think a price this high is justified for an item related to Concord? Let’s discuss this in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
