I do have to wonder how CryTek has enough money to establish 9 studios around the world. I mean besides their games they do sell their engines, but it seemed they weren't anywhere near as successful as Epic with that.

I was wondering that as well, they have basically only released Crysis games, though I didn't think they quite had 9 studios? Are they all proper studios rather than just small tech studios?

Most of them are proper studios but many are smaller focused on mobile games or just asset creation (basically they set up studios to do the type of work must devs outsource) etc. They also do military simulation type work as well. And then there is Crytek Korea and Crytek Shanghai which pretty much just handles engine licensing and support for local devs as well as localising their free 2 play projects.

Okay, so like 4 or so "proper" game studios and then others? That is still a lot given they only make Crysis... maybe we will see a flood of Crytek games next gen?
