During Concord's early access, it was pretty hard for PC players to find games without queuing in console lobbies. At the time, I gave Concord the benefit of the doubt, deciding to chalk it up to a slow early access. Unfortunately, things haven't gotten better since the game became available for everyone.
I've also had some pretty long wait times on Concord over last weekend—I got to about seven minutes before I found a game. This isn't awful, and I've played plenty of other games that can have similarly long queues, but the difference is that I'm not sure Concord is worth the wait. The games are quite fun, if a little chaotic, but they aren't outstanding, which is probably why players are finding the $40/£35 price tag hard to stomach.
Even if the F2P route could help the dwindling player numbers, there's still a good chunk of the playerbase that doesn't want Firewalk Studios to make the shift to F2P."F2P is super predatory and lives off kids' parents' credit cards," one.
