They did say Sony made them an offer they cannot refuse.

But keep in mind that they gave them a really good promotion for the PC version, and that good word of mouth could give them nice sales for the holidays from new PS4 owners.

Not enough to make up for 1.2m potential missed sales.

Nah, there's got to be more to it that makes them figure that it's financially worth it. Something tangible and something big.

I'm certain it is not 1.2m missed sales. If it were 600K it would be an exaggeration.

I mean, I myself would not have paid €20 for this game (and would have been mistaken, of course). I would have waited for a 50% off sale at least.

But still, the payment was certainly a few million, plus some future draft picks.

EDIT: And I see a physical release for it in the future, might get some PS+ folks to double dip as well.
