the game has to sell at least 3M copies for the devs to get the $250M tho

AFAIK this is not true. The bonus is just capped. But every dollar spent is increasing their bonus until they have sold 3M copies.

it also has a bottom. it only triggers when revenue exceeds $69.8 million, so about 2.3 million copies
