Revenue?

[Bloof]

I was just wondering how much $ this game made?

I know that it was like $100m to make plus another $100m on marketing. I read that it actually didn't make any profit at all, and I was just wondering if that was true :o

The only answers you'd get would be speculation... just like how much it cost to make and how much was spent on marketing (unless you've seen an official announcement which I've missed).

I'm sure neither IG nor 2K care to tell us precisely how much they made off of this gem.

I don't suppose the Season Pass will still be on sale next Friday when I get paid?

I would wait for it to go 75% off again, it's not really worth 20$ to play around in rapture for 2 hours.

I might agree with you if that's all you got out of it, but it's not. Far from it.

Clash in the clouds isn't really worth anything, the 2nd BaS is not out yet, so yea I sure as hell wouldn't buy it for over 5$.

Levine himself said that the rumors about the game costing 200$m to produce were not true, and if it had cost so much he hadn't seen his checks arrive.

This whole thing is a joke. I wait a year to purchase the game (admittedly at a severely reduced rate), now I have to wait for the DLC to come out? How about those poor guys who paid full price plus tax on this, and are still waiting? Now the DLC is being sold by itself for more than what I paid for the entire game PLUS the season pass. Sign me up for another handcuffing, please.

200m to develop and market? That's silly. It is a great game, but does it look like a 200m production to anyone? Is the animation true-to-life realistic? Not to me. If the game looked like it's trailer then maybe, but then it would also require a $20,000 PC with 16 cpu cores and six video cards.

How is the 2nd episode not being out yet a relevant point? You get it for free with the season pass, so it's quite the bargain. Not to mention that episode 2 will allegedly be 5-6 hours long.

I certainly hope it made a profit. It deserves it.

Huh. I forgot about a yearly earnings report. Good call.

Quoting so nobody misses this factoid.

Steam forumites have an unprecedented ability to ignore previous posts :D

The main game is a complete story, the DLC is an additional and optional story. I don’t see an issue.
