They just need to find publishers willing to sign their projects. If they have to do this by working on other people's IPs (like Rising) so be it. If Suda can survive, Platinum can.

Grasshopper manufacture survives through low-budgets. Most of Platinum's games are not low-budget (although some of their lower performers like MadWorld or Anarchy Reigns couldn't have cost that much).

I find the claim that Wonderful 101 cost 1.5x Bayonetta to be dubious, myself.

I don't think Suda's games are low budget enough to survive some of his bombas, there must be losses somewhere.

But anyway, if Platinum get assigned work by publishers it will be the publisher's final decision on the budget, and their loss if they go over. Unless otherwise stated, Platinum gets a flat fee for their work from publishers, their pay isn't dependent on units sold.
