$375 million in today’s dollars would cover (adjusted for inflation) the marketing and development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop
Every time this list is brought up, I always forget darksiders 2 is on it
Some people are seriously overpaid though. Kotick’s severance package being able to pay for the combined total of TLOU2 and GTA IV is crazy
But apparently it can’t cover the cost of monopoly go!? That, that amuses me. I need to look into that one more.
Ubisoft’s bread and butter were never assassin’s creed type hardcore games, but those trashy looking pet sims you could find in the bargain bin. The only reason they’re able to make the hardcore gamerz stuff is because of the financial security the shitty pet games brought in
It’s just depressingly vulgar.
