Message: [QUOTE="BinaryMessiah, post: 110813, member: 115"] I think a lot of people, especially younger games, just don't understand what goes into all of this. There are licensing costs for engine and technology, QA testers, marketing, various core development staff. A AAA title might need 20 artists and 10 concept artists. Then there are the store front fees, disc printing, you have to pay people who design the box art, there are people who spell check subtitles in the game for example. That doesn't change ever. It just scales down the smaller your budget gets. You just have more people wearing more hats to save money. People want to have their cheap cake and eat it too. If you pay less money you will get either no big budget games or only indie games. On top of that, the indie industry is thriving. IT's literally taken over the gaming industry since the early 2010's. That includes smaller AA titles as well. The games are there. You're just not looking hard enough. [/QUOTE]
