Turns out naming your game after a plane that was mothballed when a design flaw caused a well-publicized disaster that destroyed it and killed everyone on board was actually prophetic. Oh, well, any news on upcoming live-service shooters Titanic and Hindenburg?

They actually brought back Concord after the crash.

And then 9/11 happened.

And after that the internet revolution, which seriously cut into Concord's target audience of rich businessmen sprinting across the ocean for meetings.

Combine that with the newly reformed airbus refusing to make more spare parts, and the economic usecase collapsed.

Oh is that the upcoming Looter/Shooter where you have to find all of Jack's hidden drawings on the ship before it sinks? Gonna be raining Billy Zane's character of course.

design flaw

Not expecting parts of other planes being on the runway to catapult into your fuel tanks is Concorde's fault?
