The thing that bugs me about zbrush is just how quick the pros can use it. Some of those models may have been kicked up within a day which really puts the finger up to the people crying that good graphics cost too much.

"Depends on the complexity of the character, but nowadays as an average it takes around 30 days for a main character including modeling (zbrush included) , texturing and shading."

The issue here I think is that they aren't hiring the cream of the crop to work for them:
