There is always something going on in the gaming world, whether it’s a moment of genius, stupidity, or something that makes you question every decision you ever made. Join us again as we look at the Top 3 WTF Moments in Gaming this past week:

#3: Concord Studio Firewalk Shuts Down

Another week, another live service game nobody asked for shuts down. Firewalk Studios launched Concord, the hero shooter, on August 23 this year before taking it offline on September 3. The game reportedly cost more than $200 million to develop, and unfortunately, Sony has now shut down Firewalk as it cuts its losses. It’s always sad to see a game fail and people lose their jobs – hopefully, everyone lands on their feet – but it does make you wonder why companies are still making live service games with others like Suicide Squad: Kill the Just League also struggling to make an impact.

#2: The Sims 4 Gains 15 Million Players This Year

It turns out not all live service games are a disaster waiting to happen. EA’s recent Q2 earnings report reveals The Sims 4 has managed to gain 15 million new users in 2024, despite initially releasing in 2014. The base game is free to play, while EA consistently adds new DLC to the life sim, helping its audience grow. I guess not every live service game has to be a shooter or an MMO. The Sims 5 when?

#1: Final Fantasy 14 Online Voice Actor Receives Abuse

Let’s start by saying it should not happen. Ever. In an interview with Checkpoint Gaming, Final Fantasy 14 Online director Naoki Yoshida revealed the transphobic abuse voice actor Sena Bryer has received after playing Wuk Lamat in the MMO. So-called “Fans” of FF14 Online directed the abuse to Bryer after Wuk Lamat was introduced as a character in the recent Dawntrail expansion. Criticism of a game or character can be constructive, but as Yoshida says in his interview, personal attacks are “not constructive at all.” For those wondering – YES, play FF14 Online.
