do you guys ever think about the fact that we own a games that cost millions

This is a stupid topic i know but i'm board so i'll toss it up in the air. I was wondering if people ever think about the fact that our games are worth millions, not counting the cost of marekting of course. Anyways, i think its trippy that we can own a toy that in reality cost millions to make in development. There's no other toy in the world that i can think of that cost millions to make. Now i know movies/music is the same thing but its different at the same time cause we play a singal game, or at least i do, much more than we (or I) listen or watch one particaluar movie.

Anyway, this always makes me feel good when playing a 100 million dollar blockbuster lol. ANyone feel the same way?

If eight million people buy a $60 game that company that made it made $480,000,000.

No, when I play a game I just play it. I rarely ever pay attention to anything about the development of games, all that matters to me is the end procduct.

Just about every mainstream toy costs that.

So no, not impressive.

If anything sometimes it makes me wonder where all the money is going. I mean yeah, I understand that game development is expensive and people have to be paid and marketing the game costs a lot, but some games I play just make me think of how much money is wasted creating them in the first place.

i personally tend to watch a movie that i enjoy more times than I reaplay a game I enjoy. A good game I might play 1, 2, maybe even 5 or 10 times...but a movie I could watch 50 to 100 tim

Wow not me I cant watch a movie more than twice(with a few exceptions)

yet I've played mgs3, RE4, all the way through I dont know how many times.

also played ffx three times all the way through and with rerelease probably one more time.

do strategy games count cause thats just crazy.

irl most of that money goes for graphics engine licenses, quality voice-acting, mo-cap tech and a movie-like presentation. That, and advertising.

Modders are able to match, or even outmatch, the quality of retail games despite the fact that they're working with far less resources and for no payment.

Not really if I'm honest.

I think about the effort that went into something, not the money
