This is kind of a sensational headline.

As annoying as Sony’s decisions are as of late, they’re doing fine, and will likely keep doing well.

Idk why there’s even a picture of Wolverine. One of their releases gets an average of 7/10 and people start freaking out… it’s kind of funny.

Yeah this is all so dramatic lol. From everything I’ve seen a 7/10 seems warranted but like god damn why is a 7/10 being talked about like it’s the end of PlayStation or the biggest controversy in the world.

Cause it’s their most productive studio (4th game this gen) and a game that got hyped for years that reportedly cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make.

This isn’t quite as bad as if Naughty Dog dropped a 7/10 game but it’s close.

Not to mention that a 3rd of all wolverine profits immediately enters the mouse's coffers. Wolverine needs to sell 8 mill at least to break even.

Maybe. You’re assuming that Marvel’s deal is flat x% rate. It’s very possible that it’s a tranched rate until y point.

I’ve done deals like this. They’re always complicated.

Uhm you know profits are computed after production cost is recouped right?So if Wolverine sells 4 million copies,they deduct the production cost,then compute for the profit sharing.
