MODERATORS
They surely misunderstood the second run Stadia/PC RPG mention.
What does mean Microsoft underestimated it is that part: Expected partner range: ~$5M range
Their publisher also expected the game to have about one-tenth of the actual players. I don't think anyone knew how big it would be.
The $5M also refers to what they thought Larian would want for it to be included on Game Pass.
Absolutely.
Yes and that's precisely my point. Because they didn't see how successful the game would be. Otherwise, they would have thought of a much bigger number.
