Why're companies making games which sell bucketloads getting into financial diffculties?
Acclaim must have made a lot of cash off of the Burnout and Legends of Wrestling games, now admittedly they've had quite a few dodgy releases recently but you'd think the profit off their good games'd be more than enough to sustain them.
Vivendi are supposed to be in trouble even though they were responsible for publishing Half-life and have Half-life 2 just round the corner.
SCI have just had to purchase Pivotal and pay off the company's debts. Pivotal are responsible for producing the popular Conflict Desert Storm games - you'd think their cut of the profits would also be able to sustain them (if they did indeed get a cut and not just a set amount for making the game).
So what the hell is going on!?
