| Ryuu96 said: In a massive report on the decision, the CMA revealed that some major publishers report their AAA games can cost over $1 billion to make. According to the report, AAA games that are greenlit now with potential releases in 2024 or 2025 typically receive development budgets of $200 million or higher — Call of Duty has already surpassed $300 million in development costs alone, and the next Grand Theft Auto title will likely require a development budget of $250 million or more. When considering marketing costs, this number can jump to over $1 billion, with one large studio reporting that a major franchise's development cost $660 million and marketing cost nearly $550 million. These costs demonstrate a significant increase from five years ago, when most AAA games had budgets between $50 and $150 million.

I highly doubt those figure unless they are lifetime estimate of some service game and include marketing cost and cloud service cost.
$1B is 500 worker with a 200k for 10 years. Is their a game that was devloped under such condition?
More then likely the CMA where feed exceptional data without proper contextualization.
