Sony has effectively shut down a fan-created server project that briefly allowed players to access Concord, the failed online shooter that was pulled from sale after just ten days on the market. The company issued DMCA takedowns through MarkScan against YouTube videos showing gameplay on these custom servers, prompting project developers to pause their work despite Sony not directly targeting the servers themselves.
The development team had taken precautions to ensure legality by only permitting access to players who had purchased legitimate copies of the game and blocking any sharing of pirated files. However, the indirect legal pressure proved sufficient to halt distribution of server invites.
Concord remains among PlayStation's most significant commercial disasters. Sony removed the online-only title from stores and shut down official servers, rendering the game unplayable for those who bought it before issuing refunds.
