The wonders of communism/socialism! You have endlss money to waste from the government on your pet passion trash and it doesnt cost you!

As always, European Union really knows how to spend that tax on propaganda that fails hard

The EU sponsors European culture as a whole. We're talking orchestras, all genres of movies, theater, light/popular music and everything covered under the fine arts (Including erotica). Whether you like or not, Dustborn is as much deservant of EU funding as any other cultural project with a strong European base.
That the product flopped as hard as it did doesn't lessen the above. I do feel that an investigation into the studio should be conducted to find out what exactly happened with the grants. Disaster flops like this usually point at money-laundering.

Hahahahahahaha

This is the main example why they have to ruin other franchise, if they create something from scratch, nobody cares

But why Dustborn got funds? Game about USA with no ties to EU nor its culture. And since it got funds from Norway too, it got no ties with Norway either.

Getting funds to make a game about over the ocean country, taxpayer money well spent.

81 is actually a lot for a game created to nosedive. I guess among the 81 are some of the devs, their gay partners and a few other LGBT activists that currently don't have the PC power to play good games like Wukong.

If the studio is based in Europe, they can apply for grants from the EU and from their respective government. For instance, the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt was in part funded by the very same systems. And that was about a fantasy Poland where fables come alive.
There are many more European games that have received funding that way as well. With the way that European finances work, not applying for grants and sponsoring (or failing to secure) just means that many projects just can't happen. The latter happens quite a lot too.

Hating on Dustborn for having received funding because of its political slant is a blatant double standard.
