I wasn't arguing that GTA V didn't make a massive profit. So you can drop that very silly idea. I bought it myself and have been playing it the past several weeks. I was merely pointing out an error in reasoning.

So let me get this straight. Gamestop and Best Buy and whatever sell the game out of the goodness of their hearts, then? Since they obviously get no money at all if all $1 billion goes to the developers.

You're learning the true aspects of business my friend.  All you need is the Keyblade David, that is all you need.  Which one is up to you, do you choose the shield?  How about the sword?  No?  What about the mage staff?  

Choices lie ahead, none of them matter easy. 

David isn't worthy of Kingdom Hearts

Sayst he person who thinks graphics make a game, which is complete crap. If it was true then Persona 2,3 and 4 would suck. Yet they are better then any game released in the last few years, along with other games thats graphics are ugly.

Concluding that the made all of their money back from $1 billion in sales is an error in reasoning, yes. Which is what I was disputing in the first place.

You're just a clown, House. Why don't you go honk your nose somewhere else?

I never once said graphics 'make' a game. I merely said that graphics matter. That they aren't nothing.

Wait... weren't you disputing their profit as a whole, not if they made all their money back.

Okay, I really tried not to comment on this, but seriously?

GTA San Andreas doesn't have that good of graphics and it's still an amazing game

I know that simple logic is not the BSN's strong suite, but this is really not that difficult.

The developers had over $250 million in expenses and the game had $1 billion in sales on the first day or whatever.

If the developers receive less than 25% of the income from the sale (which is very likely), they don't make their money back from the first billion.

Is that simple enough for everyone here?

So did they not recieve less than 25%? 

[David7204]

I really don't know for sure. But neither do you. So we can't say for certain they made their money back.

Game developers make well over 25% off of each sale. Places like Game Stop buy them for $49 and sell them for $60. For a second, could you at least pretend to have common sense. No one is going to sell a product for a loss.

David likes to materialize points against arguments no one made all the time. It's part of his shtick.

Exactly. All the money is staying in, just about 82% 33 %of it.
