So I guess we have moved past being outraged and are all just posting all this stolen information without any care now hey.
MM was awesome. I'm there for Venom with the digital deluxe edition edition day one.
shout out to brokenswiftness for being close with thier calculations!
Quick calculation of the average price the game sold for
MLB being over 100 is hilarious
the power of a GAAS game
I think Marvel also made almost $150mil on it? $106.5m licensing, $42m from profit sharing. I said this is another thread as well, but you really gotta wonder how the people over at WB are looking at figures like this.
To be honest, I wasn't very pleased playing as Venom in Spiderman 2, so maybe they took into consideration that not everybody likes the different playstyle. A standalone Venom game does nothing for me at this point, unless gameplay shows something completely different. It's just something completely new and I believe they're acknowledging that fact.
And as you said, the lockdown thing is also huge
Yeah I don't exactly feel great about all these threads popping up. Imagine being Insomniac right now. Watching everything you've worked for leak and leak...
That could be of course also the reason.
What is good to see is that they even will produce a more expensive Venom instead of a "safe" Miles Morales 2.
So we can assume that the SM2 DLC stuff could be moved straight into Venom, I can't see them doing both.
I feel like this is a pretty perfect balance - you get a fully featured game that last you around 30+ hours and a shorter one that doesn't need a full 4 year cycle and might lure in people who won't commit to a full game while also refreshing the IP without needing to release a full title a year like CoD.
And some people still waiting on Sony to put their big exclusives day one on a subscription.
MM sales 14.4MM
MM revenue 554MM
Marvel Fee 106.5MM
Fee percentage (average) 19.2
Venom predicted sales 10MM
Venom predicted rev 361.7MM
Marvel Fee forecast 57.3MM
Fee percentage forecast 15.8
If the majority of the 4.4M delta is digital downloads at 26% royalty fee would bring that up to ~19% as well. Tail end most games would be digital downloads I guess.

I'm not sure profit share is to Marvel. Might be to the publisher or platform holder (i.e. SIE/Steam). IGs would differentiate that since it's different departments in the case of SIE.
Regardless, having your own developer means you can also get higher profits. Higher risk higher rewards. WB would look at it and see that they'd make the 150M + the 270M IGs is making + the publisher take Sony is making.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a profit share for SIE, as well as i'm sure Insomniac Games didn't had to pay for marketing.
Could be profit share for Marvel.
It even would make sense if it is the profit share that stays inhouse at Insomniac Games, i don't believe SIE would take such a laughable profit share and finance the marketing.
Indeed. Give me more short spinoffs like MM and The Lost Legacy. I loved my time with those games.
With profits like this, it's insane that Sony needs Insom to cut 50-75 jobs in order for Sony to meet its short term P/L goals. With the Marvel IPs, Insomniac is straight up printing money for Sony. Just leave them the fuck alone and let them make you cool, profitable shit
After how much money they made with the Wizard game they are pretty much happy with their strategy, their gaming unit has been doing well for years and years.
remember these articles…kinda funny now looking back.
WB don't give a damn
Their last DC game was about their most popular character dying
And the next game is about killing their most popular characters with a bunch of losers and Harley Quinn after having 2 movies based on that shit be unsuccessful..
WBs is a damn joke outside of MK and HP
The days of Spider-man DLC is dead, the days of milking Spider-man games for all their worth has only just begun
