Your company has finished working on an open world video game, CyberPerson 2080. You now have a decision to make. You can auction your game off to a publisher, or you can keep your game and do the marketing and publishing yourself. If you auction your game off, your analytics team estimates there is a 25% chance you will earn $5 million, a 35% chance you will earn $12 million, and a 40% chance you will earn $16 million. If you keep your game, your marketing and publishing costs will be $7 million. If you keep your game, your analytics team estimates there is a 30% chance your game will be a critical and commercial hit, a 25% chance your game will sell well and make gross revenues of $12 million, and a 45% chance another similar game will come out at the same time and you will make gross revenues of $1 million.

If your game is a critical and commercial hit, there is a 60% chance it is on the "best of the year" lists and makes gross revenues of $64 million, a 35% chance it stays on the top seller lists for weeks and makes gross revenues of $28 million, and a 5% chance it makes gross revenues of $18 million. Assume you make decisions using expected value, and you are an expected value maximizer. If you make the optimal decision, how much will you expect to earn from your game?
