They could have built 2 Concords for the cost of that game.

...or booked about 400 million shows with musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords.

Wow, as a fan of Flight of the Conchords, what a waste!

or they could have had a Flight of the Conchords concert on a concord that's flying.

Honestly thought they were talking about the airplane until I saw the magazine. Never heard of the game. I imagine it wasn't successful?

It came out less than a month ago. They closed the servers after less than 2 weeks.

The character designs looked like Unity made them to say "this is what a videogame can look like". It played like TF2 but without any soul.

A few days after release, Valve opened Deadlock's stream/review embargo and gave everyone infinite invites to the beta.

I entirely thought that this thread was going to be about the plane.
