Kotaku: Concord budget was $200M which did not include marketing, the sale of IP rights or the acquisition of the studio

[Etifilio]

and they wonder why their margins are tight... surely because they're not releasing more PC games, right?, RIGHT?

Why does it bother you? Did you make an investment in Firewalk?

Pathetic it has ever been discussed.

It is Sony’s problem not mine.

Why does it bother you? Always defending Sony. Do you have shares in them?

Where is the defense?

If you gonna add acquisitions costs to a game then add the electricity bills, rent and free lunches too.

I guess Marathon will cost 4 billion to make since it cost 3.5 billion to acquire Bungie.

Call of Duty Black Ops cost 75 billion if you include acquisition cost.

Nonsense and you know it.

No one is defending Firewalk and Sony here. The game was a disaster financially.

That's already included. Try a new one.

Cost of studio/number of IPS= average cost of IP

Call of Duty Black Ops cost 75 billion if you include acquisition cost.

Microsoft didn't buy call of duty, they bought Activision Blizzard King. Completely different from buying a studio with one game to their name

Nonsense and you know it.

Your posts are nonsense and you're trying to deflect and dilute the subject as per your orders and payments. I would have more respect if you admitted to being an ambassador for Sony.

Kotaku

I don't know why anyone gives them clicks. I'd rather cut my finger off that click one of their links.

Kotaku posts article with rendered CP

Long story short, the geniuses at Kotaku decided to “explore video game porn” ie people using game characters to create porn. Published an article. Decided to post some underage characters getting fucked. Not going to link it because, well, it’s CP. I think all Kotaku threads should include...

Talk about clutching at straws. What you said is irrelevant.

When have acquisition cost EVER been added to a games total development cost other than Concord?

Never.

Using your nonsense logic, Sony bought Destiny for 3.5 billion since Bungie only has one game.

Destiny was two games. Only the 1.75 billion a pop.

My Bad. Yep 1.75 billion is correct per game.

The Destiny IP and Series cost 3.5 billion.

The Concord IP rights alone was another 200 million on top of the acquisition costs. The marketing was probably 150 million, who knew Playstation twitter posts, a few trailers and a couple youtube adds were so expensive, plus probably another 100 million for the Amazon episode, add on another 100 million for the controllers that are so cheap to make and some sweatshop merch, you're looking at another 50 million.

I think the real budget is around 800 million, can't forget all these devs were making 200k every month

You forgot about the hair products used by staff. That stuff isn't cheap. +150 million dollars.
