that's a bit of an exaggeration when it's 10 of 300 employees being laid off...
Edit: looking into it further, it was 9 people from marketing and 1 from IT support. 0 developers. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Was about to say that this isn't surprising. All their Tomb Raider games were ridiculously expensive to make. Shadow is #11 on the all-time list.
Then I took a look at the article and like, 10 employees out of 300 isn't really that big of a deal anyway. --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh I will not be surprised at all if this topic title is correct, like, 2 weeks after they get their next game out.

I think Crystal Dynamics is safe until their agreement with Microsoft to make Perfect Dark is up.

Shadow wasnt Crystal Dynamics! That was Eidos Montreal.
Regardless they sold insanely well, I think the 2013 one eventually became Squares highest selling game of all time. You know, a disappointment as Square would put it. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

It became one of their highest selling games because of how often it was on sale for $5. There's a big difference between 20 million sales at $5 and 20 million at $60!

Thats absolutely fair but it did sell most of that in its first two years before those sales really got started! Mind you IIRC I got that game for 30 quid day of release so it definitely wasnt all $60 copies.

The first game sold almost 4 million copies in its first month--presumably at full price--and Squenix still called it a failure, lol.

IIRC it recouped its development budget right away but not full cost including marketing and production. Six months to profitability is pretty good given that that game is still selling a decade later.
