Activision had basically paid for almost all the games development when it was going to be the next True Crime. All SE did was publish, I mean anything they sold should have been nothing but gravy. |
They had to buy it from activision. So if they overpaid because they thought they were getting a super GTA like franchise, that's how.
Also those 3 games as far as I can tell didn't necessarily lose money as the budget shows. (they could have) just that they didn't meet expectations. These expectationss would have offset their expected losses and resulted in profit.
The only way you'll know if those games lost money is to know what their budget was.
