I continue to maintain they should of sold themselves to EA.

Their board however didn't want to lose their jobs and worked against the general benefit of their shareholders.

Yeah yeah, EA is evil and all that... but that said. EA knows how to turn a profit.

I honestly think there are two things happening.

1. Studios spending out of control.

2. Gamers expecting games to still cost low. Most will still wait for the discounts.

 

It doesn't surprise me some studios are switcing to free play model. That way they can slowly trinckle money from you for buying small items and you don't notice how much you spend over time.

Spending is out of control.  The game sold 3 million at full price.  Game isn't even discounted yet.  There's no reason why this game couldn't break even for any other reason.
