Marketing budget ain't included when they state the dev budget though. Because that's not the dev studio's business, it's up to the publisher to decide how much they spend on marketing a game.
So typically, when u read a source stating the cost/budget of a game, they're refering to the studio dev cost excluding marketing.
And I estimate Kz2 to have cost rufly $50 million (marketing not included).
