NJ5 said: By the way, regarding development costs do note that this is the company whose CEO said he expects average budgets to be $60 million per game in the next gen: http://www.cnbc.com/id/31331241 Just in case anyone needed proof that Ubisoft is either insane or likes to pretend so. |
That is truly bizarre. Where games were 5 million to make last gen, they have now increased 12 times that? I think there is a lot of porkbarelling going on in the development fields, asking excessive amounts to develop games so they have the extra money in their studio ahead of time, as the royalty rates aren't in the developer's favor. Sure, conspiracy theory, but the only logical way I can see game development costing nearly that much.
