| bigtakilla said: Rise of Tomb Raider will be profitable for Square-Enix, so I don't get why everyone thinks it won't. They already got a huge cash deposit from M$ and it will sell over a million. Developing takes less time for 1 system as well as optimizing for the system, and usually allows for a smaller dev team. Will there be a smaller profit due to exclusivity? maybe, but being it's only timed I highly doubt it will be all that much of a loss. |
This isn't about rise of the tomb raider being profitable for them. We are all in agreement that it will still be profitable. If nothing else with the money and marketing they are getting from MS it would mean that they don't have to spend anything developing the game. In a manner of speaking, MS is also pay ing for the development of the game for the PS4/PC lol.
This thread is about the company SE in general and the mind boggling number of bad decisions they make. Its a small miracle they are still afloat. A lot of comapanies closed up shop for being way less stupid than SE.
They say a 7M selling franchise didn't meet expectations? Of course it wouldnt when you consider that it had to make up for almost 3-4yrs of consistend money bleeding from every other development studio under them. Both deux ex and hitman absolution are each 3M+ sellers but only for a company like SE will those be considered failures cause their bottom line is so far into the red that nothing good the accomplish makes a difference.
