  Yes, isn’t that what they are saying?

    Yea I understand from context but the wording seems bad

    The current one is similar to “if he cared about money, a sequel would not be guaranteed”

      No, it’s saying if he cared about money he would be more likely to make a sequel. Him caring about money would all but guarantee a sequel.

        I don’t get why “all but guaranteed” means guaranteed

        English isn’t my first language and the phrasing is so weird. Translating word by word seems to indicate something else

  That’s what they’re saying. The implication is that Barone doesn’t care about money and therefore may not make a sequel.

      “All but guaranteed” doesn’t mean “not guaranteed”. It means it’s so close to being guaranteed that it may as well be guaranteed.
