Royalty fees to make a game 3 discs?

Um, no?

 

To be quite honest, I don't know a single developer who would come out and say that. I label this article fake.

 

I agree with you, Shadowblind.  I've never heard of royalties being paid by disc.  This article smells fishy.

 

 

I thought the price of "royalties" per disc was already included into the price because the disc manufacturer pays them.  3 DVDs would be cheaper than one BRD

Haha, royalty has nothing to do with manufacturing cost. DVDs are dirt cheap nowadays. By royalty they mean Microsoft getting an extra cut for each game. I'm guessing they did this so that devs would be forced to compress games instead of having every game under the sun more than 1 disc.
