Making 567 dollars off of 50 million in sales (7 million more than their development costs) says to me that either the numbers are wrong or theyre incredibly inefficient at converting sales into profit. Or both. Like… they could have had a stream of their own game make more than that.
That’s a shame, I played sunset overdrive over quarantine, knowing it wasn’t a huge success but weirdly got sucked into the world. I played it pretty much every day until I beat the final boss and had a great time with the world traversal mechanics. It kind of felt like a Saturday morning cartoon version of a Just Cause game.
Huh. I knew the game wasn’t a runaway success but I’m surprised that it barely turned a profit. I suppose it makes sense why they pivoted to doing Marvel games. At least we know from the leaks that they haven’t given up on doing new and original IPs.
If they’d opt-in to GeForce Now I would buy this on Steam in an instant.
This game is fantastic.
