You're assuming every game has a 10 million dollar budget and can sell 250,000 copies lol

Metal Gear Solid caught me by surprise on this showcase.

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Yeah so DaZ is kinda on the right track here

[Snakeskin94_1642611873 7]

I cried- was so happy

Spider-Man 2's gameplay sequence was intense, especially with Peter's aggressive attitude.

[Daz_4th 6]

so uh

[Daz_4th 6]

turns out

I can't math

💀

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

The averages and budget : sells ratio might be off cause it's dependent on studio and actual performance but, the spirit is in the right spot

[Daz_4th 6]

6 x 250,000 wouId be 15 miIIion not 150 miIIion 💀

[TrinityXaos 0]

DaZ? The old 3D modeler?

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Correct

[Daz_4th 6]

so rude!

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

There you go

[Daz_4th 6]

okay okay that's fair that's fair

so anyways, do you want to buy fifa at $70 now
their games shouIdn't even be $40 but hey that's just the worst unacceptabIe answer

they're just a smaIi dev team they need that extra $10

pIease

PLEASE

NOW
RIGHT NOW

PAY $70 FOR A SWITCH PORT

NOW

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

"shouldn't" isn't a word I'd use but yeah, pretty much

Ultimately it's a really tricky line in how a company wants to handle their product in that department
Budgets shift like mad, priorities, technology, staffing, the literal economy going up and down, and so on

[Snakeskin94_1642611873 7]

No his name is Daz but I call him DaZ as a shout out to DiZ.

Everyone's favorite KH character don't ya know?

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

And that's not even looking at the actual effort put into the game itself

[Daz_4th 6]

that one's aIways a surprise

[Snakeskin94_1642611873 7]

Yeah but DaZ there's a difference between the developers and Sony

Again, not one of the big ones

I imagine Sony and Xbox too take big cuts for their exclusives.

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Plenty

[Snakeskin94_1642611873 7]

Nintendo is different- to quote Sam, they're just run by aliens.

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Nintendo is in the "if it ain't broke grandpappy ain't gonna fix it"

[Snakeskin94_1642611873 7]

Exact.

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

And they have the market audience to sustain that

[Snakeskin94_1642611873 7]

But yeah like I said, out of that 60 dollars that the game makes (not counting the tax), the small time dev is getting ... what, 20 dollars of that? Maybe?
