3,000 motherfuckers work on COD with $200k salaries and they produced that bloated, dogwater mess? I need to change careers.
If you can't beat them, become part of the problem.
Something tells me having 3000 trying to justify their wages is how they got a bloated mess in the first place.
3000 people 1/2 are middle management that don't do shit. The cost of game dev isn't the people making the games, it's advertising and c level salaries.
The $700M figure is approximately three years of development time (Call of Duty rotates between a few studios every year to allow other studios time to make the next game in the series), plus marketing, plus post-launch DLC work.
