| JEMC said: StarCitizen crowfunding is insane. $63million and rising. Not many games have that budget in total and much, much less get it without counting the marketing costs. |
I think you would actually be surprised. $50-60m is pretty typical for a AAA game. Take Darksiders 2 for example that had a production budget of $50m and that is hardly on the high end of the scale. Something like Assassin's Creed Unity is likely pushing $200m, what with a 4 year dev cycle and pushing almost a thousand devs at peak.
