"Yes the game was profitable, but not the golden goose they expected it to be"
Err... even beyond what was said by the above posters, this statement is completely wrong for a very simple reason - it is based on the false assumption that the profits from this game were expected to be malnly from the game sales... You see, 1 million games can easily surpass the profits of 4 million games (or more) once you put monthly subscriptions into the equation. I would take 1 million games shipped and 200,00 monthly subscriptions any day over 4 million one time copies sold (200,000 is just a number I invented, no basis for this data) .
