So, why do development costs explode so much? Wasn't all this stuff about the new Unreal Engine and other engines supposed to do wonders for devs to create something in very short time which took ages in the past? I swear I saw some Unreal Engine videos the last years which were all about creating phenomenal looking things with ease...and not only from Epic but also from many people doing videos about it mentioning how it's all so simplified now so that you can skip a lot of stuff you had to do in the past.

And since they don't need more people for the music or the story as 10 years ago, there shouldn't be such an explosion in costs...
