I had also noticed that. The other action buttons are now generally blue, and only the concession button is red when there are other buttons present. (This is newly released not too long ago.)

To answer questions posed in the last few posts: * The concession mechanism works in two-player games. * As to why this was done, because of many complaints that the previous mechanism would allow a single player to end the game.
