LOL, maybe we should have sources if its gonna be treated as a fact.

Why would MS give that much money to a studio with no significant success? Why would MS invest that much in a IP they dont appear to own?

So we need some sources before I believe it had that budget.

between 60-100 million, plus

After Silicon Knights was found guilty of breaching their contract, misappropriating trade secrets, and infringing on Epic's copyrights, the company had to pay $4.45 million in damages, and destroy all copies of their games built with Unreal Engine 3—including Too Human. So the tragic story of Silicon Knights' wayward production not only ends with death at retail and a critical lambasting, but court-ordered euthanasia.

"Too Human never stood a chance of recouping its estimated $60-$100 million budget (sadly, no concrete figures exist)"

Even he couldnt find a source and I bet he did some searching. Its a great story so people want it to be true.

Im sure it had a big budget, Im sure it lost money, but it doesent feel or look like a $60-100 million game. Also, that's a lot of money for a new IP they don't own.
