Why do we never hear about game budgets?

Why is it that we never hear about the budgets of the big games?? I think it would be cool to hear: what did it cost to make LittleBigPlanet, Assassins Creed Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4? When you search info on movies, then you can see what it costs and what they earned on the movie.

Because it's none of our business. But some publishers release they're budgets, Sony boasted to everyone a while back $50million was pumped into Killzone 2.

yeah that is interesting i would like to know this to.

I don't think it is any of our business...

But, I would love to see how much money went into CoD 4/5, LBP, or Skate 2... (My favourite games for PS3 right now...*)

*I don't have Killzone yet... :shock:

I hope that Gamespot will start to focus on this subject, in the upcomming months.

I guess gaming budgets aren't much to brag about

The films industry does it, the games industry should do it too.

And its like showing off as a preview as to what sort of a game is this. Is it a big budget title, or a cash-in?

The consumers could tell which are the games they should be purchasing, like MGS4 which obviously costed quite a bit, over an EA sports game which took like 5 bucks to make.
