Bizarre Creations' upcoming racer Blur is at the centre of a crucial $40 million payout deal between the Liverpool-based studio and its owning company Activision.
Develop has today revealed that Activision paid out $67.4 million in cash to wholly acquire the Project Gotham Racing developer back in 2007.
However, an additional $40 million is in play; with Activision pledging to offer the whole amount if Bizarre meets commercial targets by 2012/13.
