Everything is relative, but arguably $100k a month is rookie numbers for a gaming company. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ies_by_revenue
Even the 80th company on that list (maker of series like Shadow Warrior and Serious Sam) makes $106 million annually.
Now, that's a little apples and oranges, since I think that studio has more games than Daybreak (although if you count expansions, maybe they're close?). But my point is, they're not doing all that great if their revenue is $1.2k million annually, and the 80th biggest game company is making two orders of magnitude more every year. |
How many people work directly and solely on this IP?
One? Two? If someone says, "no, closer to a dozen," then where does their paycheck come from?
"Revenue of 1.2 million annually"? And that's with all the money traps the servers on live can sustain? The annual TLP krono dump?
We here do all our shit and that's because the entire mmo space is kind of like a music scene -- people driven. But it is very funky to think all the hoopla is about something that in reality barely merits two salaries worth of human labor.
