| fleischr said: Activision CEO was quoted by multiple press outlets saying Activision was making a "500 million dollar bet on destiny" http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/06/us-activision-destiny-idUSBREA4501F20140506 500 million was first brought up Kotick in this bungie 'dev diary' |
That $500 is not the initial amount spent on Destiny. It's the alloted budget for the promised 10 years of support + development and advertising costs. They're essentially employing Budgie for 10 years! Destiny already made money on day 1, and they're going to make a killing with DLC and expansions.
Also, in order to claim people predicted it would sell 30 million or more, you need a link.
