prefect posted:what's the budget for a big-name video game these days? (Reuters) - Activision Blizzard Inc intends to spend $500 million developing and promoting "Destiny," potentially breaking industry records as it seeks to build the sci-fi role-playing videogame into its next multibillion-dollar franchise. CEO Bobby Kotick revealed the number, which dwarfs Hollywood spending on some of its biggest firms, during the Milken conference in Los Angeles last week. A company spokesperson said on Monday the number was accurate but also included marketing, packaging, infrastructure support, royalties and other costs.

i can see paying $0.75 for one of those at archie mcphee's as a stupid trivia prize but ordering those for $6 apiece online should trigger some kind of existential crisis

MrMoo posted:a watch that is "only" 1.4 inches thick, this list is clearly not going to happen: they've already had an indiegogo project for the watch itself, and then they went back to the well for more money without shipping anything now they want to develop six new devices, simultaneously, to work with the device they haven't designed or shipped yet and the feature lists are just magic. 802.11ad gear barely exists in the wild. literally never seen a device. now you're going to launch seven devices equipped with this magic pixie dust?
