Just remember, Microsoft paid 50 million back in the days for timed exclusive GTA4 DLC, which covered pretty much the whole development costs. They have deep enough pockets. I can imagine Microsoft to expect more out of this, but that's just silly. Especially with how they handled PR. |
There is a massive difference between the GTAfranchise and TR franchise. Everyone knows GTA moves consoles and software, TR hasn't proven to do this for a long time.
It would be good to know what money they have given SE for this. I still think they have a combination of:
1) marketing
2) in house developers to help with development for X1 version
3) tools from MS to help development
4) some cash
