He's not saying anything wrong, obviously sony wants to make more money and spider man 2 while looking great is not like it blows away the top game graphically and uses like 70% of the same map if i remember correctly. So i doubt it's the graphic its more about gaming budgets going crazy cause of inflation and no one wants to work. like  just go watch the xbox show case almost every freaking game is pushing graphics if what because of graphics budget were going crazy they would not be doing that.

 

No actually he/she is wrong, from the Sony data leak we can see what say ... a $500 million budget for example would do to Spider-Man's net profit ... it would wipe it out entirely. At 350 mill you would lose over 65% of the profit margin. That's using their own data, not something I created or opined on. 

To say "well that's not a valid concern, that's just a company being greedy" is just blatantly stupid. It's company greed to be concerned when a budget range chops 2/3rds of your profit margin off? Like what fantasy land is this, any business owner even someone who owned a ice cream corner shop would be very concerned about 2/3rds of their profit margin going down the toilet all of the sudden. 

That's not "oh well he just has a different opinion", the leak tells us what Sony really thinks. 

We don't why spiderman 2 costs so much though. you are assuming it's graphics when horizon forbidden west is bigger and for most part people think it looks better graphically. like i said earlier many games are pushing graphics at the same level as spiderman 2 are they all gonna cost 240-340 million, we don't  why the budget went so high.
