The development budgets are pretty flat really. It's the marketing costs that are the problem. Any game that needs to spend 50-100 million on marketubg doesn't have a very good product. Good products sell themselvse.


Really? You honestly believe that good products sell themselves? There are a billion examples of good products not selling and bad products selling billions, but you're still going to say this?

And development costs are nowhere near flat - where are you getting this from? 20 years ago games were made by 1-3 people. 15 years ago they were made by 10-20 people. 10 years ago they were made by 20-60 people. Today they're made by 150-400 people. How is that "flat?"
