Because they hired UI/UX people who aren’t very technical and they told them that red numbers and technical jargon makes people sad.
So the product manager who’s never played the game decides to drop it along with anything else the UI/UX and Marketing people say they don’t like.
The actual developer and artists argue otherwise, but they get told that they’re “not the target market”, because they have… opinions.
So they release the game and nobody buys it. The product manager then shifts from talking about day 1 sales to how they’re influencing the industry and the game’s success will be felt wider than just sales figures while quietly finding another project in its infancy to attach to.
The UX/UI people are floating in the company so they’re already on the new project saying that “umm ya’know I don’t really get… modding or servahs”
The developers are told the failure is their fault and they need to fix it and the artists are told to come up with 6 new character designs that are contractually sourced from the latest collaboration with Peppa Pig and have strict requirements where Peppa Pig can’t be shown in the same room as Sal the big mean butcher at the same time.
And that’s the story of Concord.

I just finished it yesterday. Pretty decent game!
what do you as an AppleTV client? I'm in a similar boat, but development around anything official (or nearest) in swiftfin et., al. Appears to have stalled out completely.
I’ve got one and it handles about 3 transcodes from x264 to AV1 fairly effortlessly.
It’s a champ for Jellyfin. It’s 2024 and Intel produced a really good GPU… the world is weird. :P
Yeh A380 arc really shines here. A couple of unsolicited notes if you go that route.
Ffmpeg > 6.0
VAAPI api is the winner for encoder, libsvtav1 is good too. - libaom-av1 is REALLY slow.
intel-media-sdk is needed - at least in debian, the free version in bookworm and testing repos is perfect - the non-free version mangled the files Decoder support in hardware is a thing to watch out for. (Plex+AppleTV had to have a profile set and forced on it, but that was really simple)
At the moment, I'm running three encoding streams simultaneously and it uses around 95% of the GPU BUSY stats - I don't strictly know if that's the best metric to measure against, but it is good enough for my half-arsed efforts.
Given the price I've seen the 750's on sale for, it wasn't that much of a reach to put a 750 in the server as well, but it was a physical space constraint plus once I'm finished the encoding effort, it would be way more than is ever needed for on the fly transcodes or one offs. Plus there are low profile A380 variants and it doesn't require an extra power connector*.
*Turns out the Asrock one I have does require an 8pin - but it looks like the low profile version doesn't. So maybe discount that point
Pretty good. I’ve got an a380 running in a media server that is just fkn amazing. And a 750 in my desktop.
I did VFIO on a nvidia 3070 and VMed Windows, but after a bit I just didn’t go in to windows and ran most games I play on the 750. Runs at 2560xwhatever the 16:9 other one is really well.
The games I’ve been playing are mostly CS2, BG3 - nothing super tough, but both >60fps, no issues. I haven’t done any benchmarking or equivs though. Otherwise other less graphically intensive games of course have no problems.
BG3 earlier had vulkan issues with some severe artifacting, but that was around launch.
These days, not even remotely a problem.
For the a380, I’m doing transcodes of some all x264 to AV1, and apart from some funkiness around the open intel-media-sdk vs closed, where the closed sdk spat out complete garbage. It handles the transcodes amazingly well for such a cheap little card.
I honestly never thought I’d say that Intel of all people could produce a GPU that was great.. but Arc really is great.
The two cards set me back about $350 all up and the grand joke is the 3070 is sitting there kinda doing nothing these days.
The desktop system is Arch linux and the media server is Proxmox with passthrough to debian.

The price per terabyte became viable when a drive was on sale for half off at a local retailer.
Works well and it was a fun learning experience.
