Yup, and a large and beautiful looking title like The Witcher 2 only cost $10.3M to make. So I guess very linear and beautiful Order 1886 should be $30-$40M? Where do these extra $60-$70M come from? |
Marketing. For films and GTA/COD it's often larger than the production budget. This won't be that high but as an AAA game it'll still be high.
Publishing expenses, such as localisation, sales, management, etc.
And external consultants for the very high tech engine and cutscene production.
And finally, if you read the interviews with RED, that was in terrible conditions, working hours and low salaries even for Poland. I imagine the staff were substantially better treated in cali even after wage differences.
