Epic Deems Bulletstorm ‘Not Profitable’
by July 25, 2011 @ 10:17 am
Despite shipping a respectable 300,000 units in its first month, Epic’s raunchy shooter Bulletstorm hasn’t been profitable, according to company president Mike Capps.
Capps told Kotaku that the title “didn’t make money for us.” How much was spent on Bulletstorm is unknown, but presumably, it must’ve had a sizable budget if it failed to break even at 300K.
While Capps refrained from delving into more details on the sluggish performance of Bulletstorm, the disappointing sales haven’t dampened Epic’s drive when it comes to developing new IP. The studio, together with Bullstorm developer People Can Fly, will continue to explore opportunities outside of the immensely popular Gears franchise.
