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.

It should be noted that budget was before they put an extra 50+ people onto the development team and delayed it a few months. It's probably a lot higher now.

 

Despite all that, the fact they are reserving a good part of budget for marketing is a smart decision. That could make Witcher 3 the most succesfull of the series (supposing the other games didn't had all that marketing budget).
