So the recent meme had me do some digging. DA:I was budgeted to cost around $150-200 million in production and marketing costs but sold over 12 million units. Now, granted, DA: V has only been out a month in comparison it at the HIGHEST estimate has sold under 800k with the median estimate at about ~600k. All estimates say median $35 million GROSS revenue. Now if we were to even go crazy and say the production/ marketing cost was the same as DA:I, it would take sales to quadruple/quintuple at CURRENT PRICE just to break even. If this game doesn’t kill BioWare then we truly have a captured market being propped up by funny money, this is a Disney Marvels level fuck up.

Rebirth launched in Feb 2024. It's been less than 10 months. There were about 19 months between PS4 and PC release for Remake. Probably Summer 2025.
Has it just been 10 months? Damn lol. Seems like an eternity.
You think it's bad now? The next 4 years are going to last at least a couple decades.
