Yeah...  Um...  I wouldn't listen to HikenNoAce.

Anyways, I'm Aaron Grommesh, the Community Manager for thatgamecompany.

I'm very surprised that people are thinking that the game just now became profitable.

The tweet was in response to someone saying that the company completely closed down after Journey was released.  Sony gives out royalties every three months.  Jenova also talked a little about how TGC was set to start receiving royalties with the next payment from Sony here: http://www.edge-online.com/news/sony-made-the-majority-of-the-profits-from-journey-says-chen/

they went WAY over budget

Everybody is claiming that, but nobody posts a source. I would really like to see somebody post a legit link to confirm all of that.

JOURNEY BECOMES PROFITABLE; THATGAMECOMPANY STARTS RECEIVING ROYALTIES.

Journey has become profitable according to thatgamecompany, the studio that created the game. The game was in development for over three years and studio boss Jenova Chen had earlier said that they were almost facing bankruptcy but Sony had faith in them and kept funding them.

The game has finally broke even and the critical success might have helped as well. Journey is widely regarded as one of the best games on PSN and a must play if you own a PS3.
