Thank you.

Sucks that TGC have only just seen a return on their efforts after 14 months.  Perhaps they will fare better now they are multiplat.

I beleive they have funding for their next venture in place now? 

So as long as they can actually stick to their business plan this time, they should see some hefty profits on reputation alone for the next title.

Huh? Doesn't "being funded" mean, that they already received their payments? That all they receive now is a bonus on top of the payments they got for developing the game?

Yeps. Sony paid for the development of the game, that is paid the TGC employees and once the development cost has been recouped, the developers get paid even more. Seems sensible.
