@MrMagic mostly remember it from memory as much of the documents have been deleted

heres some of it but not all also many people on sony and xbox side talked about it on youtube

lucky me i found some of the info but not all that i remember

https://exputer.com/news/industry/microsoft-call-of-duty-sony/

"Microsoft put forward an offer that would license Call of Duty to Sony for 15 years. This agreement would first last for five years, and then it would go on for another ten years. Hence, bringing the total period of this proposal to a remarkable 15 years."

many of the original documents from reddit are gone

"We were absolutely thrilled to be able to negotiate a deal with Microsoft"
this is false
"Jim Ryan said โ€œI donโ€™t want a new Call of Duty deal. I just want to block your merger,โ€ according to Activision executive Lulu Cheng Meservey. The comment was made on February 21st, the day behind closed doors meetings were held with the EU"

MS also offered a 15 year deal plus all ABK games according to FTC files
sony/jim had to accept a 10 year deal possibly without future ABK games
which is possibly one reason of the many reasons sony got rid of him and didnt actually retire

i dont but i still use it at times

most likely it reached that much with sales i wouldnt really count those UNLESS you have profit info
based on the past info and current sales i would say its about breaking even or a bit higher which is not worthit for such a long running IP and the dev time plus the budget

"these sales do not include the PC copies sold." according to steamspy its about "200,000 .. 500,000" which is nothing special again for a game with such a high budget and long running IP ive seen new IPs with lesser budget sell much higher

overall seems like a downtrend based on the info i stated
this is not including the failure movie they made [Ratchet & Clank grossed $8.8 million in North America and $5.6 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $14.4 million, against a production budget of $20 million.]

id say giveup on the IP at least for now and try something else like the legend of dragoon ramake and do a ratchet original trilogy remaster/remake but that just me

@MrMagic
"I just remembered the $145 million but it wasn't profit, but the game has made $73 million profit so far. That's a far cry from the -8million you claimed."
-"Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Sold 2.2 Million Units, Incurred an $8 Million Loss"
"UPDATE: More recent data seems to have emerged from the leak, suggesting that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart had shipped over 2.7 million units as of February 2022 (with sell-through numbers standing at over 2.3 million units), and turned a profit."

"Funny how you just ignore PlayStation plus as well, because this game was added and it generated revenue on there as well through subscription."
-i wouldnt count that as idk the full data of it unless u have full info on it i would expect not much profit overall which is another reason i would not include it at least for now

That's a far cry from the -8million you claimed.<-- correct its also a "far cry" from what you had stated aswell "๐Ÿ‘"

@MrMagic
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - 2.72 million. -vgchartz

"RC Rift Apart (in 9 months)*** 2.72M*** $145M*** $81M (includes marketing)"

"Game earned only $73m in revenue while it costed a whopping (for this type of game) $81m to make."

@Bonjo
according to much of the info dump they are also count ps portable sales
ratchet and clank made a profit of -8million but that was maybe 2022 maybe they reached a profit of around 1-10m which is still pretty bad
they are losing about 35-50 percent of all profits on all marvel and xmen games so even if spiderman sold 20m they only made 10m and thats not even pure profit so might by around 8million of the sales is real profit
also how thr trying to move into subscription service much like gamepass instead of focus on consoles

many stated wow ratchet and clank did -8 million in sales them console sales really mean nothing in the end
regardless they are making another ratchet and clank game according to the hacker leak which is very surprising even tho thr losing money on the IP

@themightyant
"If it is consistently around 7ms, or even 20ms, that would work. But consistency is key for Cloud gaming."

again "i played google stadia with extremely low internet and about 100[minimum and if lucky]-350ms ping i was playing the beta of stadia which only allowed assassin creed odessy if i remember correctly and the latency was amazing the only problem was the game looked like a early 240p youtube video"

spawnwave also talked about how good the latency was

google/stadia was also talking about later doing a tech in which the game predicts future inputs making the ms still the same but would make the game feel about 1ms or 0ms or close to it

google is coming back to gaming later btw mostly due to metaverse reasons i believe

@Ken_Kaniff
thr doing fine i think gamepass made about 2b in profit?
but as they stated in thr gamestack conference a few years ago they want like 4billion gamers and that the "future is not a box the future is smartphones" which i also disagree due to the advancements of brain computers

not even nintendo or sony together have 2billion so thr not to interested

they do wanna buy nintendo cause of metaverse reasons much like activion/blizzard which was for mobile and metaverse reasons but according to Satya Nadella he all about the metaverse

"I'd love you to be right though, but I guess I'll believe it when I see it."
i said the same before i could do art using AI now even chefs and baritas are gonna lose thr jobs because of the new ai robots shown at CES 2024

also proof that they will upgrade as i stated before is
"Significant improvements have been made to
@Starlink
latency (ping) & many more to come.

Target is <20ms.
11:42 PM ยท Jan 15, 2024"

i would ask people if tech is this good now how good will it be in 1 more year or 2 years or 5

Re: Microsoft CEO Says ActiBlizz Deal Helps Xbox Become 'A Good Publisher' On All Platforms

@themightyant i remember some time ago they stated the ms will be about 7ms i think in the not so long run amazons will be better

that why i stated "let me remind you this is without future upgrades"

" I had a look. Starlink wouldn't be great for Cloud gaming as Ping only gets as low as 25ms - 60ms"
-thats a lie i played google stadia with extremely low internet and about 100[minimum and if lucky]-350ms ping i was playing the beta of stadia which only allowed assassin creed odessy if i remember correctly and the latency was amazing the only problem was the game looked like a early 240p youtube video
all i had to do was get thru the minimum requirement thing and then lower my internet overall performance afterwards and it would not kick me

@themightyant ive seen a video of a dude playing overwatch on a mountain in the middle of nowhere ["Gaming with Starlink on top of a MOUNTAIN | Vanlife Gaming"]
and another where the dude has a latency of 40-60 ["gaming on starlink | overwatch 2"]

people using starlink had better results than many people using on earth internet me included until they did a huge upgrade in my area

many people i know are also highly considering changing to starlink or other due to how overall good it is being about to use it almost anywhere on earth

let me remind you this is without future upgrades

"Starlink Surpasses 2 Million Subscribers"
"SpaceXโ€™s Starlink satellite internet gains 750,000 subscribers in nine months"<-- this is without massive ads yet
amazon is about to release thr space internet aswell its about 400mbs last i heard which is double of what elon's offers

overtime they will increase speeds and the ones on earth will have no choice but to increase speeds or else lose everything to amazon and starlink

thr are many others from uk china russia and others
china is working on ones thats are 6g which is about "Up to 1 Tbps (1,000,000 Mbps)"

@Markatron84 yeah i have seen it on all sides
Mostly on sony side saying reading to much into what was stated before the sony showcase it being a disappointment that they are hopin for another showcase this year to save them from what is happening

I was one bought a ps5 digital because of the hype for so many games mostly the legend of dragoon remake

After my depression i realized being with xbox is the best thing especially after the news of elder scrolls oblivion remaster or remake being real not counting the pc mod

I will soon finally play the game that brought me back into video games

Currently replaying it on xbox it as addicting as i remember lol have to force myself to go to sleep
