The report says they received that by June 30th and Control hadn't been released by then.

Control is also listed separately, so those 9.49M€ are completely for it.

That's less than I expected, honestly, but it's a good chunk of the total production budget. Good deal for Digital Bros (a company I had never heard of before) and 505.

Accounting for the cut storefronts get and such, that easily makes the loss of 200-300k copies sold "okay", as this sum covers just for that.

I wonder if that includes sales from the first x number of units sold.

Well it looks like the game did not sell so great so Remedy were smart to take this offer.

Damn, how much did they pay for BL3 then? Hell, imagine if RDR2 ends up being exclusive.

The sales expectations for Borderlands 3 had to be at least 5 times the numbers envisioned for Remedy's game. Of course different publisher so different deals in place, but it wouldn't be surprising to see a magnitude of 30-50m (or more) towards Borderlands, considering that's also a social game with long-term player interaction and pretty big streaming presence.

I guess this is a dumb question but.. does this exclusivity prevent it from showing up on Microsofts gamepass(PC)? It should right? But The Outer Worlds has also been announced as an Epic Store-exclusive and that i know is heading to gamepass...

Wow, that's a chunk that significantly reduces the risk, when 50% of your budget is given to you instantly in a lump sum..

Supposedly, these deals are a sales advances, meaning that remedy won't get any money from sold copies now until copies worth those 10 millions were sold on the platform.

The Epic Games Store as described by Sergey Galyonkin (SteamSpy Creator, Currently At Epic) (Update: Sergey Clarifying Points on Twitter)

Update: see threadmarks for details on Galyonkin's response or jump to post #507. I recently found out about a really interesting Russian-spoken podcast that Sergey Galyonkin co-hosts called "Как Делают Игры," or in English: "How Games Are Made." Galyonkin is currently the Director of...

different situations, MS acquired obsidian so they renegotiated with epic to also release the game on the windows store.

I hope Control does well for Remedy. I finished it yesterday and it has one of the coolest sequences I've played in a game all year, if not this generation.

How much Remedy put into game out of its budget and how much did 505?

People post like Remedy got 50% of their investment back with this ~4M from the deal, do we really know?

Any idea how many copies of the game were "given" out my Nvidia? Because that's how I got my copy.
