They don’t get the full $60. Some of it goes to publishers, a lot to tax. Etc etc. So most likely the profit they make from that $60 is much less than one would expect

Sounds right. If they only got $10 for a copy then 2million sales makes sense. I dont see Darksiders 2 costing more than 20million to make.Still THATS RAPE. The videogame industry sucks balls.

And don’t forget the marketing for the game either. It costs quite a bit of cash for those TV spots and print ads.
