Yeah but like also, if you're rich af you could just make your game super cheap. This is still clearly an aim to make money.

If they have a €2.7m debt they def want to recoup that! But they also did probably the next best thing to making it super cheap by putting it day one on GamePass. It’s a huge coup for Xbox tbf, and that GamePass cash would have also helped massively to fund the latter stages of the game.
