Yes, so that means if sony holds off on releasing a game they finished, the studio is still on the hook for salaries and upkeep without having the benefit of revenue from a game they made.  Do you see how that kind of behavior might sour a relationship?

Hum... Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

The people working daily on games, get their salaries every weeks. Just like anybody else.  ¬_¬

Lol, did you read what I said?  Those salaries dont come from thin air man since quantum dream is not owned by sony, those salaries are paid to the employees by quantum dream.  Now sony financed their game, which means the developer got some money from sony to keep them going until the game is complete.  This money is generally paid out in installments based on progress on the games development.  Now, if the game is completed, those payments from sony end. 

Of course, this is all a moot point because my main point I was trying to make is that sony will keep releasing ps3 games after the ps4 comes out so the release datefor beyond two souls doesnt correlate with the ps4 launch at all.

What a poor administrator must be running the company, if they run out of cash all the time like this and can't afford to pay their employees. ¬_¬

Do I really need to explain this to you?  Most companies have consistent revenue, a game developer does not.
