As I mentioned in another thread, if their running costs were close to the revenues they make then their owner wouldn’t be a multiple yachts owning billionaire.
Their cut is a %, which means that as games become more expensive they make more money. But their running costs actually go down as they improve their tech and code.
An internal memo was made public and they make more revenue per employee than Microsoft.
We’re overpaying for games but people just got used to it.
What’s funny is that when the producer is mentioned in trailers I always think “Ok so the director is an unknown person and they’re the one who has the most influence so it must not be great…”
Yeah but in this case we don’t seem to be talking about building the tools for the dev (lawnmower/gas), it seems like contractors were hired to develop things that are the final product (mowed lawn).
