L.A. Noire has sold approximately 7.5 million copies

I wonder if all the overworked and exploited people who crunched for months if not years under terrible management will see a penny from these very impressive sales.
I guess the take-away is that the LA Noire brand is at least somewhat strong and there is an interest in detective games set in the US 40's?
I'm certainly not given the way that management and the leads treated their employees.

I'm surprised, considering how underwhelming it was. Loved the concept though and think a sequel could've been great.
I enjoyed my time with it so I think it's deserved. What isn't deserved is how the development team was treated.
Sucks that so much exploitative management happened behind the scenes for making this game. That's never quite justified but at least the game is something truly special and I recommend anyone who hasn't played it yet to do so. It's often ridiculed for bad writing I feel like, but I consider it quite underrated in that regard. Now's a perfect time to get back in, and hopefully it will sell well and inspire other developers to do games with similar motifs.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but didn't SONY make a deal that they would give this IP to Take-Two in return for Rockstar developing Agent exclusive to PlayStation?
That aside, I remember reading about the scummy things that happened behind the scenes during development of this game.

I remember it being marketed as a Rockstar game and it had a quite good marketing campaign. Fooled me, too!
It is so good in concept, in fact, that I'm actually considering giving it another go on the Switch...

Need to talk some sense into myself, I know very well the game left much to be desired in its execution
In a world where GTA IV is a thing LA Noire is by far my least favourite Rockstar Game (I'm aware it's by Team Bondi). It's a slog for the entire time, boring as hell.
Man, LA Noire is one of those games that should have been great. I will never stop loving Cole Phelps screaming in people's faces, only to follow it up with 'sometimes you gotta shake the tree to see what falls out'. Hopefully it can get a sequel not made in a horrible work environment, that fulfils its potential.
I remember there was talk when it released that it sold so well because people thought it was like GTA.
And yet some people to this day still try to label the game as a commercial failure.
I hope there's a sequel in the works. With numbers like that for a new IP, there ought to be.

Give me L.A. Noire: Part 2 already.
Really hope this remaster is to test the waters for a sequel.

LA Noire 2 made by Rockstar from start to finish could've been great. I will buy the PS4 remaster, but once it's dropped in price, because I only didn't play the DLC cases.
LA Noire wasn't as huge hit as this number might suggest. The game was in development for too long and it had very expensive mocap. Plus it's been on many huge sales and especially the PC folks had many opportunites to get it for next to nothing.
