Apparently I don't know how to delete. Ignore the first part about 22 million a month in salaries. I thought I had deleted that sentence and this comment system doesn't seem to allow for editing.
450 employees at 50k / year is just under 2 million a month in salaries.
Just a few notes:
First, Kingdom of Amular sold over 1.3 million copies in its first 90 days of being on sale. Unfortunately for 38 Studios apparently it needed to sell over 3 million copies. That's not a failure...
