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

Naughty dog made uncharted 2 for 20 million.

Good for them?

Anyway, Skyrim cost $85 millions (with marketing), Witcher 3, which is also open world RPG and is supposed to be bigger, is $15 millions + $25 millions for marketing.

Naughty Dog is an American stuido, pointing out the country in which a game is developed isn't a major factor in a game developments pricing.

Yes it is a major factor. Cost of development in Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Ukraine or some other similar country is much lower than in US.

Which does not mean per se that CDRP is not more efficient (as they're pobably are) than Bethesda or Crytek, and that dev costs are lower simply due to coutry in which they are located.
