Thatgamecompany notoriously mismanaged the budget of the game and was saved on by Sony's faith in them.


Yeah...  Um...  I wouldn't listen to HikenNoAce.

Anyways, I'm Aaron Grommesh, the Community Manager for thatgamecompany.

I'm very surprised that people are thinking that the game just now became profitable.

The tweet was in response to someone saying that the company completely closed down after Journey was released.  Sony gives out royalties every three months.  Jenova also talked a little about how TGC was set to start receiving royalties with the next payment from Sony here: http://www.edge-online.com/news/sony-made-the-majority-of-the-profits-from-journey-says-chen/

Aaron, is it true or not that the game went over budget twice?

 

As for lurking (outlawauron):
I just get moderately disgruntled when "this stuff" becomes news.  It was already "revealed" months ago.  I also just prefer to have correct information flowing around the internetz, so I've searched for "thatgamecompany" over the last 24 hours on Google before.

I understand that. I'll google myself to see if there's anything interesting.

Hope you don't mind sticking around.
