The three Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider games sold 38 million units, so probably something like a billion in revenue. Plus whatever value in Film/TV income, plus some decent mobile games. They can probably recoup the cost with effective management of Tomb Raider, and then the other IP is where they can mine for some value and make the deal look good. They got two great AAA studios with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. One Tomb Raider game + one Deus Ex/Thief/Legacy of Kain Reboot + 50 game back catalog remaster/re-release is a solid strategy.
