If you think this game cost $80 million, you're an idiot, sorry.

But it still looks like it will struggle to break even.

 

10 years of development means a lot of money spent on wages.

Don't believe everything some random dude on the internet tells you.

Too Human, 10 years ago.

And dont believe everything a developer who has something to sell you tells you. Or do you think they didnt pay the people making these builds and developing the game till they seriously (no really, we mean it this time) started working on the game for the 360? if so then your an idiot. Sorry.

I dont think it cost 100 million, but I would be shocked if it didnt approach 25-30 million dollars over its ten year development cycle.

...

How is 25-30 even close to 100?

There is absolutely no way a developer the size of SK could have afforded to spend $80-100 million on a game. Despite the critical acclaim of some of their games, most weren't commercial successes (including MGS and ED), so where would that amount of money come from in the first place?

Also, "your an idiot"? Ironic.
