Sigma-X posted:Activision is not making $50 per sale of a $60 game. It's about $12 just to license, manufacture, and distribute the game, never mind the retailer's cut. From there you have marketing spends further diminishing the return on the disc, you're looking at maybe $20 of the $60 going to dev costs. I'll give you the $12 cost, but the $500 million cost of the game includes the marketing spends. Still, if you start taking more and more cut from the original $60 price (and from the $20 DLCs), that just means more and more DLCs and expansions that have to be sold. It would still work out to roughly 2-3 DLCs + a full price or near full price expansion to come out ahead.

Considering a 10 year window, microtransactions will almost certainly be seen combined with larger WoW-style DLC that everyone is expected to buy to become ubiquitous (probably by doing something just as gamey as raising the level cap by 10) Considering the money that WoW still pulls in today, I can see similar pricing happening for someone's 10 year gaming Experience (tm)

Faltese Malkin posted:I remember watching the Grand Theft Auto 5 trailers and thinking, "that game looks incredible and a must own, but I could absolutely see how it cost $250 million to make." When I watch the Destiny gameplay videos it just looks like a shooter from the makers of Halo... How could the budget be twice what GTAV cost? Also I'm just waiting till we see articles saying Destiny sells 10 million copies and is still a flop. Because it's not 500 million for one game, it's 500 million spread out across multiple games for the next 10 years.

That dude is real happy. Ubisoft did this with AC3 and 4 also. The pre-order poster was shipped and announced as the game was being announced. No trailer or anything PRE-ORDER NOW!!!!

Farcry 4 looks like it's just going to be a bunch of gay innuendo mixed with actual gay villains. Saint's Row 5 better step it's game up. Oh and it's taking place in Tibet so it's not going to just use brown as it's main color. It's supposed to have a ton of vibrant colors.

It's going to be *ironic* and maybe this time you won't get raped by a crazy shaman woman? Though, as far as lowbrow shooters go, Far Cry 3 was pretty fun (massively flawed but fun), so at least there's that.
