Rockstar: No exact Lost and Damned figures “at this point”

I wonder what the reason is?

There’ll be a big MS announcement, I reckon.

Still, I wonder what the hold up is? Maybe they want to announce it along with the second set of DLC? That would make sense, p’raps.

Maybe, yeah. I dunno. They’re obviously waiting for something. Maybe they want more stats for the announcement, or something.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re looking for a landmark number. 1m or something along those lines.

Only 17 people bought it. They are sitting in their office shitting it, hoping the figures are wrong.

But they aren’t: GTA is boring. Games are all about doing yoga and shit now, ie. loads better.

I might buy it one day. When I don’t work all the time I’m awake.

it’s either being held off for a big ms announcement or some simple maths will show ms made a loss on the first half of their $50 mil

Pat… that means never. Trust me, I’m in a similar position, except no kids (which means you’re even more screwed!).

@El_MUERkO: Only Take Two are really going to lose out if it doesn’t sell enough. As it’s a loan they’ll be paying it back at some point one way or another.

Never sounds about right

I was always under the impression that “Microsoft payed $50 million” was an Internet myth. I thought it was what Take Two expected to earn in total (revenue plus possible payment for the exclusive). But then I never saw the original source of the story, just saw people endlessly repeating it…

The money is real, it’s the fact it was an advance that most people don’t seem to understand (Edge did a big write up on it, you can read more at their site).

Hope it sells like shit. GTA4 is too big of a game to be exclusive to anyone. If it doesn’t hit their expected numbers it serves them right for taking money from the DEVIL (M$)
