Nothing. It was a contract job and the game didn't get an high enough metacritic score for them to get a bonus.

I thought the bonus pertained to New Vegas. They did that with South Park as well? Is that normal? I think the bonus should be on sales not scores.

All a matter of negotiations. So unless somebody can provide a source we basically know nothing.

To me 1.6M units, many of them for mid to low price, sounds rather unimpressive given that South Park is a well known brand.

Sorry but any sales number over a million is IMO impressive.

Why it didn't outsell candy crush saga… Dunno. I don't think the problem is the game itself.

Well if they ever make another South Park RPG, they might want to actually include the RPG next time.

South Park doesn't command the brand power and prominence it once did.
