Why would you assume this game cost 100m to make? It looks like they bought a lot of generic nature/medieval assets from the asset store and then put them together.
1m probably doesn't cover all of the development costs, but lets be realistic, this is not a 100m dollar game. Probably 10m max, and that's assuming it was made in the USA with experienced devs. If we drop the salary by 1/2 to 1/4 for Italy-based devs, and less experience, then that chunk is probably around 25% to 50% of the total budget. Most likely they had other govt funding as well, via some other grants or NGOs.
Explains why the game’s retarded devs have been sassing people online, knowing full well how terribly it was doomed to flop.
They don’t care because they already got paid

I would like to point to the recent EA layoffs. There's no need to care about a job they know damn well is a temporary position.
EA is in the middle of a Saudi buyout. This is them removing the chaff.
Did it seriously cost that much??
The developers are on salary. They already got paid.
This is why subsidies are so evil.
Imagine trying to insult fellow dev's. What a dick move.
