That's what happens when you release a top notch title that's been in development for so many years!

They deserve all the revenue they bring in.

Ted- This is actually ridiculous how much money these companies rack in on day one!


Years of work is counting on it though. It can be a big risk spending a lot of time on a game paying wages etc. and then make a loss on sales.
