I didn't know T2 even had that much money to spend on one game... It's no wonder they're not doing so well; they're throwing money down drain.

Well they got $50 million (loaned?) from Microsoft.

 

Still, there's no way the game should have cost that much money to make. That's just poor management on their part. How do you expect to make money when you're blowing 100m on one game? That's 5-10 high-budget HD game's all spent on developing one game.

Having sales blowing everything else out of the water? Getting a bigger cut, because neither MS nor Sony will get fees (pretty likley?).

 

 Trust me - SONY and M$ both still are getting thier cut ... you didn't think they'd let Take-2 get away with no royalty fees unless the gmae was an exclusive ... hell it took a $50 million loan from M$ for them to get exclusive DLC --> imagine the cost for the entire game ...
