You know it could be Destiny or FFXV. Maybe CoD or BF4. Still crazy.

Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

This is insane. 10 million would make sense for COD or maybe Halo (tho neither is a new IP...eh Destiny or Titanfall maybe?).

Man what the hell makes a game cost THAT MUCH?

Years of work, huge development teams, pushing the boundaries of current or next gen hardware, voice actors, advertisement, advertisement.

But that high? Supposedly development costs went down? I still call bullshit on this one.

Unless they went and asked Bill Clinton to do voice over work that isnt very expensive (I think he is the highest paid Guest Speaker in the Country right now).

Do they have a small town as a development team? I cannot think of any teams that are large enough for that.

Ads are a possibility, but to put out enough ads to have to sell that many copies? Fucking stupid and a terrible marketting department.

final fantasy 15

ops, noticed he said new IP. maybe destiny? though i doubt that. i dont think i can believe this honestly. 10 million? how much money is that? the game needs 270M to break even? (considering all the 10M are sold full price)
