CD Project are a bad example, they make their games on crazy small budgets so don't need to sell that many copies to hit a profit. The Witcher 2 only cost $10 million to make and The Witcher 3 has reportedly cost $15 million (also has a $25 million marketing budget, which i expect they could justify thanks to it releasing across 3 platforms simultaneously this time). For comparison Crysis 3 cost $66 million to develop.

You do have to wonder though, what the fuck are developers spending their money on if CD can pull TW3 off on $15 million?

I'm guessing one of the reasons is CDPR is based in Poland, not in US.
