Does anyone know how much Microsoft paid for the IP?


I heard around $100 million which i think cheap.

I assumed it would have cost around that.  It's also not that cheap if you think about it.  It took four games f or the series to reach 20 million.  Having no idea how many copies were sold at full MSRP, how many were sold during price drops etc, we'll just say that Epic got on average $10 each copy sold which is probably a bit high.  That's $200 million in profit in over seven years, where they just made $100 million just by giving up a license they have no more interest in.



I never looked at it that way. That does make this a big win for Epic then.

Microsoft has the money and is okay if they take a little loss just so Sony doesnt get Gears.
