I dunno, I'm a gamer and I never even heard of it. Then again, I don't do TV so not sure where the marketing budget was spent. Edit: Let me add I'm a PC gamer, so if this was a playstation game that would explain why I never saw the ads.
It was also PC, we saw the numbers through Steam's stats that it had less than 100 players during the first week. Less than 100 players online for a multiplayer-only game. By week two Sony shut down the game and issued refunds which is also unheard of.
It’s way more than $600 mil. Her speculation is 200 mil for the studio they bought + 400 mil in production and development. What she forgot?
Marketing.
That’s easily another $100-200 mil in advertising, and that’s a low ball figure.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this shit show was closer to a billion $ loss.

More than likely, it is a 2 billion dollar loss. Either way, it is only a drop in the bucket for Sony.
Like many of their past failed video game endeavors its a tax writeoff
