Average Budget For Major, Multi-Platform Games Is $18-28 Million
An anonymous reader passes along this excerpt from Develop:
"The average development budget for a multiplatform next-gen game is $18-$28 million, according to new data. A study by entertainment analyst group M2 Research also puts development costs for single-platform projects at an average of $10 million. The figures themselves may not be too surprising, with high-profile games often breaking the $40 million barrier. Polyphony's Gran Turismo 5 budget is said to be hovering around the $60 million mark, while Modern Warfare 2's budget was said to be as high as $50 million."
You seem to think that "fair" means "agrees with you". There's a bright future for you in either politics, or professional refereeing.

At least get it right, please. That stupid saying is, "correlation does not imply causation."
We know damn well that correlation is not causation. "Correlation" is a relationship between two things, such as the tendency of two measured values to change in unison. "Causation" is what produces a given effect. Clearly, they're two very different concepts. Correlation is obviously not causation.
What a lot of dipshits here like to try to point out is that just because a relationship is visible between two measurements, it does not mean that one is necessarily responsible for the other. Of course, even idiots are aware of this, so it doesn't need to be constantly pointed out by people like you, who strive to appear "intelligent".
It's an apples to apples comparison. What you're saying that you can't compare Friday Daddy assraping you to Tuesday Daddy buttfucking you, because Tuesday Daddy has a much bigger shlong. That's quite literally worse than anything that Hitler ever did.
