Nope, I just googled some game dev costs in 5 minutes and figured theyd fall into some of the earlier mentioned kickstarter traps

EMILY BLUNTS posted:the company is probably a dozen artists, a dozen programmers programming themselves into a dozen corners, and a dozen chris roberts also, even though all the modules are meant to be a seamless part of the whole game, they are each being developed in disparate offices around the world it's like chris roberts looked at big dev's and said "look at all the branches they have, we should do that too!" somehow failing to recognize that branches basically only exist because of m&a and not that spreading teams around the world benefits games in any way. so a cargo cult dev.

some AAA games cost over $100 million exclusive of marketing costs, which can range from like 10% on the low end to 250% (Call of Duty / GTA V) of dev costs.

i mean just do the math how big is the studio? i have no idea but let's say 100 people $10,000/month employer cost for having an employee (this is the big variable and just a shot in the dark). this does not mean $120k/yr salary, but salary + insurance + office space + benefits + electricity + expenses, whatever. so they're burning $1m/month right there. Times 3 years, that's 36 million + actual costs of licensing engines, any agency work, advertising, marketing, bonuses, voice acting, events (gigantic costs, you can spend $500k on E3 before you even have the walls up in the booth), etc etc etc.
