But game budgets are still far away from movie budgets.
The average Hollywood big budget movie costs $150 million + marketing, while your average HD big budget game costs only ~$30-40 million. And yet those $150 million are all used to produce just 2 hours of a non-interactive stream of pictures,
I want to see game budgets match the ones of Spiderman and Pirates of the Caribbean (+$200 million) - which would allow a team of 500 people work on a game for 4 years.
That would be one hell of a game.
