Yeah, but at least half of that will get back past distribution costs and cost of sales, especially with more online sales.
And of course the $500m isn't necessarily the launch costs, though of course there is a chance that some of that revenue does come from season passes. The $500m can mean anything from the 10 year plan, launch + expansions + running costs or just development + marketing. Who knows...
7m really isn't bad though
