Blow no trataba hacer un juego para ganar mucho dinero. Creó un juego interesante, bonito, etc. El dinero sólo lo mantiene para hacer más proyectos. Entendedlo.

Cita:Finally, I want to make clear that we did not make this game in order to make money. We were trying to build a beautiful / interesting / intricate thing, first and foremost. The money just helps us stay in business in order to build new things. It is very easy on the Internet to read a financial posting like this cynically, so I urge folks out there not to do that.

The Witness ha tenido unos beneficios de +5 millones de dólares en su primera semana. + 100.000 unidades vendidas.

Cita:Across all platforms, The Witness has totalled over $5 million USD gross revenue in the first week, and it has sold substantially more than 100,000 units.

Tanto en PC, como en PSN ha vendido muy bien.

Todo esto no significa que estén en positivo. Esos 5 millones no han cubierto aún los gastos del juego. Pero lo sobrepasarán y tendrán un número positivo.

Cita:So, the game is doing great. That doesnÔÇÖt mean we have broken even on our development cost yet! Because our development budget was so high, $5 million in revenue is not enough to recover it yet (because we split that revenue with the storefronts, we have to subtract VAT in Europe, etc). However, it is looking like, as time goes on, we should break even and make a comfortable safety margin on top of that, which will allow us to make more nice games in the future ÔÇö unless some kind of world economic disaster happens.

Ahora trabaja en algunos parches, tanto para PS4, como para PC. Y en el futuro lanzarlo en otras plataformas como iOS, Android, ONE, OSX.

Cita:As I mentioned, right now we are dealing mostly with PC graphics driver problems, and we are also working on adding some features to the game about configurable controls and rendering options, for PC and PS4.

After this, in the near future, we will start investigating the bringing the game to other platforms. Under serious consideration are: iOS, Android, Xbox One, OS X. We will provide more-concrete information about these as it becomes available!
