Last night's news that Sony is pulling the plug, perhaps temporarily, on its new live service hero shooter Concord will not have come as a big surprise to many. Within days of the game's launch, reports emerged that it had sold an estimated 25,000 copies – 10,000 on Steam, 15,000 on PlayStation – and player counts were low. According to SteamDB , Concord peaked at 697 concurrent users on August 24, the day after launch, and dropped sharply after that.

Thank you so much for telling me how to find that component, but it’s too bad it’s not related to the original problem, which is the shader. ;-( It’s simply an error log caused by a missing asset in some component. Applying a gradient shader with 5 colors to the label works fine, but applying the same shader to the spirte doesn’t work, and the 2-color graident in the code I posted earlier doesn’t work either.

I think that the core issue with Concord was just that it doesn't do enough to stand out from its competitors like Overwatch, Valorant, R6 Siege, or Apex Legends. I can briefly comment on the purported eight year dev cycle - no game really has a real dev cycle that long, that's longer than an entire console generation. Most games with long dev times spend the last 2-3 years in actual development and the first block spinning their wheels or restarting from scratch.

Bungie's win against cheats provider AimJunkies won't be overturned as two US courts ruled in favour of the Destiny maker. As reported by TorrentFreak , US District Judge Thomas Zilly ruled that Bungie has provided enough evidence that AimJunkies had infringed its copyrights, and denied the cheat maker's request for a new trial. "[A]t trial Bungie needed only to establish that the 'cheat software' distributed by [the] defendants had copied protected aspects of Destiny 2," the judge wrote.

I ended up not finding the asset with the UUID I mentioned in my last question, and everything else was fine without it. Just to be on the safe side, I deleted all assets and reloaded them, but I’m still having the same problem. I’m wondering if I should give up on using materials and shaders and just make them images. I’ve been looking for a solution for 4 days now and can’t seem to figure it out.
