16 Little-Known Gaming Stats That’ll Blow Your Mind
12. The Average Development Budget For A Game Is Over $28 Million
Unsurprisingly, it costs a lot to make a successful video-game. The average budget for a developer in 2010 was around $28 million, and when marketing costs are taken into account as well that figure can certainly double in size and reach figures in and around $60 million. Proof that costs just keep on rising, Bungie's Sci-Fi shooter Destiny reportedly had a budget that exceeded the $500,000,000 mark - yikes!
