Of course, their other games surely don't cost that much to make, but I think the budget for GTA IV may be indicative of...irresponsibility. |
I agree that $100 M for a game is equally ridiculous, but looking at that list of games that they have in development right now I don't see any that even come close to that. That $300 M revenue/expenses is for the current quarter. I think they just need to trim the fat from all over the place.
