35 million USD compared to 12.6 million of HW
This almost seemed surprising, but then i remember they have a cash shop, with plenty of whales, Yea, i doubt this hurt in the slightest, but at least with that budget it looks to be much bigger then HW (hopefully)

And rightfully so! cute is where it's at, You never thought of the reason why Miq'ote was not a "full" furry? instead of just the tail and ears? They know what gets the attention.
