But did it really earned that much money, considering that Arrowhead was working on this game for nine years ?

8,000,000 x 40 is 320,000,000. So they've made a few bucks.

A lot of the cost in purchasing a game goes to the publishers not the developers though

I'm still sure the devs got a couple bucks. At least a pizza party.

Pizza party attendance is mandatory and fun will be dealt out democratically

Let’s hope Sony treats them well, it’s a huge success in their growing PC push.
