About half of what House of Dragons cost....
So, I think it's pretty reasonable in todays market.
The question is, how much money do you think this will generate, i also saw there is an increase in game sales as a nice extra bonus.
Also, @peter42O has bought himself an Abby duvet cover to sleep under.

As someone who hated Abby in TLOUP2, I can guarantee that would never happen.
Well it's off to a great start. The second episode set a record on HBO for the number of followup viewers. Really excellent stats all around.
yep saving a couple of episodes up to watch with my dad, really looking forward to it
Im pretty sure if Abby’s arms were like 20% smaller, the hate for her online would of been alot less
I think ND would gave her twice as big arms, no boobs and a biker mustache, following their pattern of making their female characters uglier/lless 'femenine' in each product. Ellie skipped the bullet in TLOU2, but got it in the tv show. xDDD
Not sure if the is actress or only a model, but I'd cast Abby's face model and would put her with her real face (pretty) and body (no huge arms). But I fear they may cast Arnold Schwarzenegger to play her instead.
Edit: I saw the face model in fact is a gamedev (vfx artist), and also uploads gameplays as youtuber/Twitch streamer (@JocelynOnline).

TLoU 2 : Fan service edition
All girls would be in short skirts, sometimes without panties! and the 3D models would be taken directly from the Dead or Alive Volleyball game?
See one of the girls has dark skin, so this is very inclusive!
Joel would be like:
I never said something remotely similar to that.
I only say there is absolutely nothing wrong on making pretty or attractive characters, and that doesn't make sense to make them uglier/less attractive on purpose just because a pseudo religious cult says that having attractive female characters, or white/male/heterosexual/cis characters is something problematic that must be fixed and replaced forcing quotas that sometimes don't fit with the stories and replace iconic charismatic characters with bad uncharismatic characters whose only purpose is to 'represent' X group.
I would say the same if a white supremacy wants to make a white, blonde, version of Blade, or to make E.Honda slim, or to replace Samus or Lara with a guy, or to make Poison from Final Fight / Street Fighter not trans due to bigotry against women or LGBT, etc.
And well, I also say people prefers to have attractive, pretty or handsome characters and this is why most people you see on tv or the cinema, or ads is like that. Or at least charismatic, likable, cool and/or photogenic. Don't need to be hot.

Perhaps. I just don't like the character. Combat wise, Abby was great. I would just steam roll over enemies using only fists. lol
Abby is fine, she just loved to train.....As for story, I really understood where she was coming from. People love people on both sides of the coin....This show really has a great story, especially for those going fresh and know nothing of the game. Hope they continue to deliver...
Nothing wrong with liking to train. I simply would have made her look as a more athletic version of her face model, not as someone who seems to be full of steroids.
And well, regarding story I understand her motivation to do what she does at the start of the game but I think ND made an awful choice by trying to replace Joel with her.
I think it would have better to don't try to replace Joel and to make Abby's portion way smaller.
The arms were kinda cartoonish.
Personality was she was kinda bland/normal. No dislike or like for her really. I mean I get her motivations easily though.
Her campaign had some great parts tho. One of the best in the series during the Island
