I kinda had the feeling it was the payroll for the art department when I really started to take note of how long credits for a video game are compared to a movie, as well as seeing hundreds, even thousands of people working on the art assets, and maybe only 5 people working on the programming. Not to mention some of these positions have 6-figure incomes.
It also explains why games can look super good but are sometimes mechanically/technically flawed to hell. All the focus is on making it look pretty, but then held together with used gum and scotch tape.
Wait, but we had recently a feature from PMG on YouTube showing how a significant portion of the art of devs like the coalition and Naughty Dog being contracted to sweatshops in Asia. So basically game development budgets are to pay a handful of talented programmers and the friends of the art and writing department while sweatshops do the work. Mega lol, we have bay area entitled shitheads playing ping pong in the office and adoring Elon while costing millions while the people who do the work are getting abused across the planet…
