Sunset Overdrive made only $576

[John Elden Ring]

Following the recent devastating leak from a ransomware attack, Insomniac Games’ future has been laid out for the internet to see.

Everything from in-development games to the firm’s internal, aspirational roadmap, and employee information was released by malicious operators who attempted to secure millions of dollars for the data.

In a financial document, the development costs, sales, and shares for every game Insomniac has worked on for years were revealed in full.

It was noted by eagle-eyed gamers that Sunset Overdrive, the 2014 game co-developed by Insomniac Games, has netted the company just $567 in profit since it was released.

They got MS to foot the bill for a ton of Spiderman R&D.

So everyone begging for a sequel and saying it did well can finally shut the fuck up.

If Ted Price wasn’t being such an asshat back then, this would have done FAR better on PS4.

Microsoft paid for this game, and it was an excellent game. It's not insomniacs fault that Microsoft can't sell for shit.

Didn’t this launch out of nowhere? Weird, I’ve heard nothing but good things.

The company wanted to own their IP, it's not like he stopped supporting PlayStation.

That is what happens when you left PlayStation.

That's what you get for partnering with Xbox.

R&C about to pass the 20M sold milestone right?

R&C about to pass the 20M sold milestone right?

Sold 7m on PS4. When was the last time an Xbox exclusive game sold more than that?

 

[Yurinka]

Seems MS and Insomniac made a "great" investment with this game.

It's understandable that they ran away to work on Spider-Man and to sell pretty cheap the studio to Sony.

 

[Loy310]

Wow, 3rd part insomniac were at their worst back then.

Near 3m the PS5 game.
