I believe that $100 million was just spin, whether it was the 'budget' and they spent alot less, just to WOW the media, or if it included marketing or what I dunno but no way in hell does a game cost that much to make. Andddddddddddd, it generated revenue of $710 million so er, in short, no they're not.

I'll give GTA4 the benefit of the doubt, and we will assume that development and marketing costs were $100,000,000 in total, and that it generated $700,000,000 million in revenue before retailers and console manufacturers take their cut ... That works ot to (roughly) $7 per dollar invested.
In contrast the "Bomb" Boom Blox was probably developed for $2.5 Million (or less) and generated more than $28 Million in revenue before retailers and console manufacturers take their cut ... That works out to (roughly) $11 per dollar invested.
