We're on the blood path now
This is what I'm thinking the true issue is. A lot of shareholder greed.
It’s not shareholder greed.
Investing 400 mil over the course of 5-7 years, then taking another 5-7 years to MAYBE make 50 mil profit is a crazy proposition. Investors aren’t wrong to start being very skeptical of this business plan.
Wolverine can’t cost triple the price of Spider-man 2. They’d make no money.
A lot of industry problems are due to shareholder greed (mtx, seasons, layoffs), but for once I agree with Meach on this one.
Cutscenes and Hollywood voice actors are a few things that could be cut to recoup some of this development money.
Some of it is on the developers as well, instead of cutscenes why not have a comic book style panel to flesh out the story. I’m assuming that would be a lot cheaper.

The majority of the budget goes towards salaries, bonuses, and other employee benefits, the difference between western developers and Japanese is that the latter pays their employees like shyt.
It was so bad the japanese government had to step in and order a mandate on increased wages

Japanese game studios are paying their employees more for a surprising reason
Multiple Japanese game publishers, such as Capcom, Bandai Namco, and Koei Tecmo have announced hefty pay raises for employees. It's a shift in the right direction.
A lot of game developers were even moving to the US and UK and making twice as much
It’s not just about graphics and “movie style cutscenes” it’s about the increasing cost of wages, especially in major cities where these studios are located. Insomniac’s main HQ is in Burbank, CA. Rising development cost isn’t just affecting “AAA” developers its every industry and every type of game development studio is affected, whether its 10 people or 200.

Word, I get it. I want the employees to make a living.
I'm just saying that some of these games can benefit from a more stylized presentation instead of hyper realism. Not specific to Spider-Man nor Wolverine, but some shyt like Forsaken or that Immortals of Avernum (SP) could have used a little imagination.
Honestly a hyper stylized comic book style spiderman would be right up my alley.
What Microsoft have to do with playstation or Xbox for that matter? Weirdo console war shyt lol.Nothing compared to the 10k+ cuts that MS did this year while spending damn near $80 billion on AssEnvision.
.
Online adds another 50+ million to the budget. Probably 100M+ if it's not a barebones effort.
