Phew, I'm glad it is the exception. While it is going to be a great game I wonder if anyone else could afford 0,13 BILLION dollars into the development of a single game :D

Yeah it's pretty amazing. I mean only recently did the games industry as a whole become a billion dollar industry, and R* with one game comprise 23% of it.

That is some bizzare math right there if i am understanding it right. Also gaming industry has been a billion dollar industry for a long time. It has exceeded Hollywood Box office revenue ($15 billion) some time back. It also did 19.1 billion in sales in 1990. In inflation terms that would be close to $31 billion today. 

I am sorry if i misunderstood your 23% figure but i responded to best of my understanding of that comment.
