I would guess and say the production of these games costs less than that, and therefore they would be profitting, which would make it worth it to them to continue making these games.
Although way over the hill I know a lot of younger gamers through all of this stuff.
Most care little about WWII but when I run the start up of CoDUA many go right out and buy it and love it.
When I show them SH3 they look at the monitor like a calf looking at a new gate!
None have ever asked about it again.
It is a very narrow field of unique wackos that spend hours getting ready to shoot something and then break out in cold sweats over a hydophone machine cringing at every ping like someone is stabbing them with a knife.
