I remember Witcher 2 being made on just under $11 million, and that was not 15 years ago. WTF happened in last decade or so, when $27.5 millions is considered AA budget?

Budgets have ballooned in recent years; Spiderman 2 in 2023 cost over $300 million, COD Black Ops Cold War reportedly cost over $700 million, Cyberpunk 2077 cost more than $400 million.

Development times and team sizes have gotten much, much bigger. By today's standards, $27 million is quite humble.

Cyberpunk pretty much tells the whole story - Witcher 3 cost $32 millions to make (that's just development), CP2077 cost $174 millions to develop (original version without Phantom Liberty). I think there's pretty much consensus on which one's better out of two. Both in same country, by same dev.
