You do realize this financial practices been done plenty of time before, for example Metro: Last Light. Beside, if this game become a success, then this could be a huge profit for the Naughty Dog Vet. company Big Red Button off the ground ro developed more games.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Metro was made on a shoestring budget by a bunch of guys freezing their asses off in some shack in Ukraine, while Big Red Button is based in expensive ass California. If there's a similarity there, I don't see it.

Even Nintendo can't make huge profit on Wii U games, so I really doubt that anyone working for a third party publisher is going to. After five years in business with no games shipped, BRB will do well if they're able to keep the lights on and don't go the way of Dontnod after this.

Really depends on how much hype the new TV show creates. Sonic X was decently big on the saturday-morning cartoon circuit, and Sega really didn't parlay that into any game tie-in at the time, so it's hard to tell what this game can really do as a direct tie-in.
