mkey82 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 So, everyone is assuming that 100% of sales pores DIRECTLY into R* pockets? Reatilers sell for free, publisher also does it just for kicks and MS and Sony just sit idly by while the game (they have invested a lot in, especially MS) makes a billion dollars?

Doesn't any one see what's wrong with this picture? Well actually... I listened to Take 2's fiscal year report last night and I can confirm that R* itself will have made a billion out of the franchise by the end of this year. At least that's what I remembered of it. If anyone can confirm this? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/355031-1000000000-for-r/#findComment-1058212096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Yes, it is a lot.What do you want? A medal? For me, make it HEAVY METAL and you got yourself a deal. News on TV is rare and deserves equal mentioned time here, so 'go bugger off you bloody sod' That out of the way, one must not forget the way funds are divided among parties...so not all wil fall to a few people at Rockstar (North) About 250 people work at RN it is believed. Several people were added and helped staff get this game out, so all those complaining are rather heartless about the labor and effort spent to make the game. I respect all that work myself.

You said "...while the game (they have invested a lot in, especially MS) makes a billion dollars?" And the title says "$1,000,000,000 + for R*" You talked about the billion dollars as if it was from THE GAME, as you said in the above quote. But the title clearly says it was for Rockstar.

mkey82 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Please re-read my post. So R* made one billion dollars from other games, not only GTA IV? What other game did they sell like the did GTA IV? IMHO GTA made them maybe 200M$ and they sold more then 9 million copies. What other titles are there? That could make them 800M$ in this short time frame?

Well just to be clear, I'm not saying the OP's information is correct/accurate. I was simply trying to help you understand WHAT he was saying. I don't know how Rockstar could make that much money.
