more realistic borderlands?

Game failed to make profit so far. Read from Kotaku:

The publisher Square Enix did not pay the studio any royalties as a result of insufficient sales. Despite the dismal financial situation, PCF intends to continue development on post-launch DLC, as originally agreed upon with the publisher.

From the document: “The Group received no royalties from the publisher for the period to December 31st 2021, which means that as at the reporting date net proceeds from the sale of Outriders were insufficient to recover the costs and expenses incurred by the publisher to develop, distribute and promote the title.” It also stated that there would be no ‘assurance’ that the game’s sales would be enough to generate royalties in the future, either.

The day-one deal with Game Pass wasn’t enough to put the game’s profits in the black. The studio’s CEO said in August 2021: “Despite this disappointing news, we believe that the first royalties from Outriders sales will come ... this year.” His statement turned out to be an overly optimistic prediction, despite Square Enix’s announcement that Outriders was “on track to become the company’s next major franchise.” Kotaku reached out to Square Enix and People Can Fly, but was not able to get a response by the time of writing.
