Vidya gaem angle on Ghostbusters 2016 movie fiasco Veteran Leader 08/02/2016 (Tue) 18:26:17 Id: 069ed5 No. 326228
The developers of the official Ghostbusters video game have gone bankrupt just three days after the game was released, it has been revealed. Fireforge Games, the development studio behind the video game, filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy with debts of up to $12 million, Kotaku has revealed. The company, which was founded in Irvine in 2011, had failed to establish itself properly in the video game industry and had not produced a high profile multi-platform game before. The game was reportedly developed in under 8 months and has received a dismal Metacritic score of just 31/100. The game’s lack of success might have been somewhat inevitable considering the failure of the Ghostbusters remake on which it is based, with the film opening to empty theatres across the US and official merchandise being placed on sale racks before the film was even released. Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos’s criticism of the film for its social justice narrative also led to a Twitter spat with actress Leslie Jones which resulted in him being permanently banned from the platform, known for its disdain of conservative media. http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/08/01/ghostbusters-video-game-developers-file-for-bankruptcy-3-days-after-games-release/
>$144 budget >they borrow that money and pay back after release so rought 3 years borrowing >4% interest fees work out to be $17m (rounding down) >then you have marketing budget approximately 50-100% of production budget. Studio pays this themselves. >50% would be $72m TOTAL STUDIO PAYS OUT FOR FILM = $233m >theatres take a cut approximately 35% of ticket sales and the remaining 65% go to the studio >$233m studio costs means that film needs to bring in $358m in worldwide gross to break even $358m TO BREAK EVEN >$159m (rounding up) worldwide gross so far three weeks after release FACT: GHOSTBUSTERS NEEDS ANOTHER $199m TO BREAK EVEN

under 8 months to make a game on a console flops duhhhhhhhhhh
Theres barely any info about fireforge they only ever made i game,never participated in any other project.
>>326231 That video is great. So was the actual review. Too bad no one will ever see it or care about it who needs to.
>>326229 Do remember there are a lot of shenanigans in hollywood accounting. many of the costs they make is to their own secundary firms, and many things they do not have to pay if they do not make a profit, for example very few actors can demand that they actually get a reasonable pay without the movie having any profit (rather few movies in hollywood ever make any profits thanks to that, at least in the books). Although that doesn't mean that this one was hollywood shenanigans, this one was just a flop.
>>326229 Remember that "journalist" who sent pedobutts a picture of his daughter in support of it after it was exposed for being a creepy pedo? He just wrote tl;dr article for Houston Press ignoring all this, saying that since this shit made $150m gross receipts, it technically made a profit and is therefore a box office success you shitlords.
>>326248 Keep sharing it. Share it with people who like a laugh. Share it with people who don't know what feminism is. Share it with people who are curious what feminism is. The more normalfags that go "oh, social justice was like the Ghostbusters film?" the better. Even if they don't mean it with malice, the SJW will try to defend it and fail, setting off red flags for normal fags. Never be silent.
>>326253 I've seen that article getting reposted all over Facebook, and people who call out it's obvious BS being derided as spoilsports. Which I guess is better then being accused of being misogynist.
