      I’m just super curious at to what $600m would get me. Maybe suckering people into paying for it out of curiousity was their genius business plan along though.

        That’s the cost of about three typical AAA games. Genshin Impact’s costs up to around its second year of development is also about that much.

          The average cost of a AAA game is $80m.

          “AAA games are the big-budget games that large studios and publishers typically make. The average AAA game takes about four years to develop, with an average cost of about $80 million and higher. But this amount can vary significantly depending on the type of game and its level of complexity.”

            AAA games also tend to do esoteric things like “release” and “become profitable” and “spawn sequels.”
