How are video game budgets high? They're actually very low, blockbuster movies tend to cost several hundred million for a 2 hour production, a 20 hour game costs a fraction of that.

 

By that logic a piece of gum that costs 1 million dollars to make has a cheap budget.

 

How is that the same? Movies and games are both visual MEDIA that tell stories through digital visual representation.
