Starcraft II cost $100 million to make

Who cares if it only cost $10-30 million more than GT5, the interesting point is that any PC IP could be worth this much investment. Judging be the anti-PC slant of the gaming media this must be a surprise. Of course  StarCraft isn't any old PC IP. But still PC gaming is far from dying if anybody would drop this much money even on a proven IP. And lets not forget that historically RTS isn't the most expensive genre to create. Color me impressed, even with a 7 year dev. cycle.
