You are grossly exagerating it's importance. The average consumer probably had no idea it had DLC when they bought it, I never saw it advertised anywhere before the game was released, only talked about on game forums. And I don't really see how it did anything special for DD...

If it was a 50m dollar loan, Rockstar lost money on this DLC, seeing as how they would have to pay back Microsoft. If Microsoft covered the cost of development, then they lost some money.

 

 

1. MS talked about this whenever they could.
2. There were even ads running on German TV for the Lost and Damned - you don't see much Gaming ads in Germany at all. And they covered the whole Xbox Live Dashboard for weeks with TLD
3. It is the most successful DLC ever released on a console. NO DLC ever before created a revenue like this before - so they did something for DD
4. You can't say anything about who lost money on this. How much is it to produce DLC for a game? How much interests would Rockstar pay for a 50 million USD loan to a bank? Did MS claim any interests at all? etc etc

I really do like this listing-feature :D

Why would rockstar need a loan if they just released gta4?

Company offers to loan you 50 million to develop DLC for a series that is a 10+mill seller. How stupid of a business owner/manager do you have to be to say no to that??

Why would a company not take a loan if it is offered to it and is favorable for company?
