Not everyone has worked in game dev, or software, apparently. $400M seems plausible to me for a game that took eight years to make with lots of highly-paid developers, got sold to Sony, and (IINM) had a project reset. Salaries alone would have been in the hundreds of millions.

I don't want to do TikTok. I sat that one out. I'm just not up for doing videos every time I want to make an admittedly great post

to whoever decided to make the home button on every phone a non-tactile touchscreen element located right next to the part of the screen where active text input prompts on web pages are most often located: i hate you and hope you step on many legos.
