You call people out for "not understanding how the business work", yet you make it clear you haven't read most replies in the thread.

Because people, myself included, already pointed out that the game did recoup its budget before reaching 2.5M copies sold. It is now at over 5.1M copies sold. Let that sink in.

Strange i never said RE7 didnt make a profit. Hence my first sentence "i dont believe RE7 bombed". I am explaining how the sales figures in general dont nessaracy mean profits. Probably best to read my comment before going super defensive.

Of course. You said: "End of day is sales has to exceed the budget spent." No kidding. You know what else? Water is wet.

Also: "That can vary depending on the game. Maybe RE7 bombed if the game needed to sell 6m to 7m to make a profit."

So you didn't say it bombed or didn't turn a profit. You said maybe it did. Because you didn't read the thread, in which multiple people already brought up the numbers and quotes that confirm the game started turning a profit a while ago.

Wouldn't be an issue if you hadn't been so eager to lecture people on something everyone understands.
