Have any evidence? New York Times published it was 10 million and said the number was straight from Sand Fall. I am happy to see data that the claimed number is not true, but that requires evidence. |
NYC was the original source, which states 10 million was specifically development costs
The issues here is people are ignoring publishing costs, which can be even higher than development costs
There are at least 300 people involved in this game when counting outsourcing and publishing workers, as well as voice actors and translators, also ignoring the money spent on advertising
This remembers when Pokemon costs were leaked, and people saw the development costs ignoring the marketing costs (as well as the localization costs)
