Next-Gen Development Costs

[Kwaad]

OriGin said: maybe to LEASE it but Epic (Gears creators) had to develop that from the ground up which was a HUGELY expensive endevour and SHOULD be equally divided between the different titles that they develop using it and the amount the re-coup from selling it... a worthy tool but VERY expensive to develop.
