Among those laid off....

Would love to know what games got $50 million

 

[Mr Moose]

GTA V.

 

[Topher]

Also, interesting that Game Pass is still in the 30 million subscriber range according to this

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

They were insistent on their need to outspend the competition for content. Not too many games would've gotten 50m, but a lot of indies used to be able to rake in low 7 figures, particularly if it was day and date. Less so now, but they still pay fairly well.

Edit: I remember hearing Ark got like $30m back in 2019. Didn't verify it, but that was a huge number.

GTA V probably didn't come cheap

A day one release of Outriders too

 

[EN250]

GTA V.

R* wouldn't accept just $50M? GTAV is a mega cash cow

Sure, but it launched many years after the initial launch. There was probably a huge marketing commitment + favorable rev share on microtransactions too.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Trawling LinkedIn for headlines now to try and break a scoop like Schreier-lite.

GTA V is sold for pennies so yes

 

[Punished Miku]

This is pretty much a non story. They had estimates up to $200 million on that document showing Baldurs Gate 3.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

this was they guy that got recently fired?

Now? Heck, Linkedin has a been a treasure trove of information over the years. I imagine there will be quite a bit revealed from the 1000s of people laid off in the coming weeks.

this was they guy that got recently fired?

One of them, yeah

This should be the headline. Must've lost a lot of xbox one subs.

Iain's a good dude. Real neato seeing people you know are good at what they do get the boot while their exec team of absolute mongoloids carry on unfettered.

 

[Unknown?]

Dang, upper middle management got sacked as well?!

Yeah.....didn't even see that until after I created the thread.
