:yeshrug: Blame Hermen Hultz but they sell
8 million copies sold on a $250 million budget is an extreme flop.

Especially when you consider that this game has been heavily discounted over the years

are we even sure Forbidden West has even broke enough on its budget ?

Ill use some common sense for everyone here, if you are wondering if a game, a movie, an investment, anything, broke even after spending $250 million on it, its probably a flop.

Horizon Forbidden Flop is at 8 million sales, after bundles, PC release, super bowl commercials, etc.

The development cost was $212 million. That does not include marketing. Im guessing its around $250 million, but now that I remember they pushed this shyt during the super bowl and nba all star weekend, etc the budget actually might be around $300 million.

at $250 million, im not sure they have broke even
