Worst part, they had a half decent marketing campaign going on top of the production costs. 150k copies sold is not bad it's abysmal for a game that took 5 years to make. From what I see people are saying the budget is somewhere between 70mil and 140 mil. 150000*70=10,500,000, I assume Steam gets 20% of that and it means the game sold about 8.4 million on a 70milion game at best, this not including marketing - they had billboards up with this game. The game has almost no good reviews and the word of mouth is bad. No way this game will sell 1.5 mil copies that it needs to actually make even in the best yet highly unlikely scenario - not including marketing.
This game lost money and lost money hard. Leftists gaslighting that this is somehow a success is on par with believing that men can become women.
Now for the bad part, this is Microsoft. For all intended purposes it has infinite money and it's more then ok with wasting money to change gaming.
