This might be a dumb question. So I get that there goes a lot of work and time in creating a high quality game and with major game studios like ubisoft and fromsoft the cost can rank up to hundreds of millions of dollars, but even though it takes a lot of work to make a good game, how does it cost 500 million dollars? like where does that money go to? is there one specific part of making a game that costs a lot of money for large studios?
In: Technology
The programmers are a huge part of the cost. Employees aren’t cheap for software, then the special software (game engines) hardware (their high end computers) the office spaces used, etc cost money. Then comes marketing, pre release distribution, etc. to get the game to the masses.
