Yes if we would have known that Concord only lasted two weeks then those that bought the battle pass wouldn’t have bought them. Know eol timing help consumers.

Sony actually issued full refunds to everyone who bought Concord.

  The game still died. One that was in development for five years, and it lasted two weeks.

    They didnt plan for it to last two weeks, the game failed. How do you expect them to guarantee a certain uptime when they have no idea if anyone will even play it.

    Call me crazy but I expect businesses to guarantee their products.

They didnt know it would only last two weeks. They probably knew it was a possibility but I doubt they planned for it.

This is what I mean though, if concord had to say the game would be live for a guaranteed amount of time, why wouldnt they just say something low like 6 months. Why wouldnt every company do that unless they knew for sure it would be successful? Its too risky to choose longer periods of time, and we just have the same situation as now.
