Forums - PC Discussion - Starcraft 2 development to cost $100 million

Foamer on 16 July 2010

From the WSJ.

Now that's.... a lot. Mind you, it'll probably recoup that within a month in Korea alone.

Pennies compared to the amount of profit they're going to make out of it.



At some point, something must have come from nothing...

Would it really sell more than 2 million units in Korea just first month? I know the first game sold impressively there but seems exagerated to me.

Anyway I hope this means it's near perfection!

does that also include the two other expansions that they'll end up selling afterwards or not?

$100 million and we still get that shit of a system called Battle.net 2.0?

Fail.

It was hyperbole. I've got no idea how many it'll sell there and I doubt we'll ever find out.

Anyone know how much the original Starcraft cost? A few million maybe?

I never get how they manage to spend so much... well... I guess Bliz employees must be pretty well paid (then again seeing the games it's deserved).

Holy crap! 2 millions is obvious, it will be frontloaded like nothing but those sales are monstrous for Korea!
