Not sure if it's true. Look at the profits of GTA, Cyberpunk, Witcher.
- charrondev 6y agoProfits of cyberpunk? They’ve been delisted from one platform and an open refund policy on 2 platforms because of how buggy it is. If anything that tells me they may have been better off investing that developer time into the game instead of a custom engine.
- vvillena 6y agoThe game sold about 5 million units in the first week. IIRC the game's budget was about 130 million, so yeah, there are lots of profits, with more to come next year when the next gen versions are released. And there will be single-player expansions and a multiplayer mode. Profits indeed.
