Royalties to medium provider 5 GBP. So the 22 GBP or half of the games POS take is all that makes it back to the DEV. A game costing 22 million to make therefore must sell a million to break even. |
Not many games ever hit GBP22 million.
Gears of War 1 only cost $10 million. I would assume its quite cheap though because the engine is already made etc etc.
Halo 3 cost a rumored $30 million. Payed off for Microsoft since they have made around half a billion dollars off of it.
