Estimates have put the game's budget at upwards of $250 million, so they'd need to sell at least 5 times as many copies to even break even. Games (from traditional studios, anyway) are crazy expensive now.

That's insane for how many bugs it has. What are they spending this money on? It's clearly not development time
