    I’ll go even lower and say Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and it’s one of the more remarkable entries of the series.

    It took $5 Million to develop.

      $5m to develop + $13.2m to market

      Equivalent to about $32m in 2024. Not disagreeing, putting the value into perspective. Also consider the scale of vice city compared to your average AAA, even AA game. Games have significantly higher expectations nowadays.

          The expectations from gamers is pretty cooked nowadays man, pay attention to the louder and larger voices on game forums, x (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook, steam etc.

          Hah. This thread is literally coming from some guy finding that every game should be like Elden Ring and BG3.

          That’s not GTA VC size, so I’m gonna say Anon’s expectations, to your question.
