Despite having nearly its entire back catalog on Steam, Suda51's studio doesn't benefit much from sales of its old games: 'It's really nice for the other people who are making bank off that, though'

Grasshopper Manufacture generates minimal revenue from its Steam back catalog because third-party publishers control most titles, including No More Heroes and Killer7. Suda51 notes other publishers profit significantly while the studio doesn't earn enough to fund major new projects. NetEase funded Romeo Is a Dead Man and gave Grasshopper its first self-publishing opportunity on Steam.
