Nah he’s right. Nobody buys a widget for 5 bucks and sells it for 10 bucks and says, “I made 10 bucks”. By your rational I could buy a car new for 25 grand, sell it 10 years later for 12 grand and say I “made” 12 grand off it.
“Make” has typically implied profit for as long as I can remember.
Not just that but I mean journalism geez. I can’t think of a profession that has had more of a fall from grace in the last 20 years. Furthermore the implication here is video game journalism, which has always been the lowest form of Journalism.
I don’t think it’s misleading, “generating” implies gross profit, not net. It’s not explicit, but it’s also not misleading.
“Makes”.
I “make” my gross pay. I don’t really talk about “making” my net pay. I don’t much think about my net pay, outside of actual budgeting.
Again, implying gross profit, not net. It didn’t say “makes” 50 million profit. You are inferring something that is not otherwise implied.

I interpreted it as profit.
Considering that I’ve seen conflation of revenue and profit from actual journalists, I stand by my previous statement.
Buddy. Take a breath for a moment. I mean this constructively; it’s an opportunity to learn.
What you’ve just said here is essentially this:
Please remember, we all make errors (myself included). The best of us learn from them.
