You don't have to believe me. Go read the audited financial statements at Activision. These are audited legal documents. Intentionally posting incorrect information is fraud. It's all there. I've been in reporting for a lot of years, if you have any questions about in the results I can answer them. With facts. Advertising and marketing and distribution were not I the contract. Those are Activision costs for the project. Their cost to Bungie is ~$500MM plus performance bonuses. I'm curious to see how they perform for Q3 with TTK. Activision will defiantly make money in this game, just not for a few years. As far as Bungie is concerned, neither you nor I will ever know if they made money or not, unless they go public. They are a private company and are not required to publicly disclose their financial information. I don't know what their costs are. They say there are 500 developers working in the game. If they each make 50,000 a year that's 250,000,000 over ten years Bungie has to pay in salaries alone.thats a guess, maybe video developers don't make that much. I don't know. That's half of the money they get from Activision alone. When ever you see a website saying Bungie made XX dollars due to sales, you can immediately discount it as wrong. Activision controls sales, not Bungie. Gross revenue and Net Income are very different numbers.
