>>40418869>>40418869What does this even mean? Budget is what you're spending.
Assuming you mean how much GF gets of the profits, they made the goddamn game dude. This isn't merch sales where they're only getting licensing fees or some shit. Contracters like Creatures Inc plus some marginal Nintendo fees for shit like dev kits are the only other places where the money is going, and those are part of those hypothetical $100M costs. I'm overshooting the amount that Game Freak is spending developing each game and how much they're losing to contracting and other fees by tens of millions of dollars on purpose. It's mathematically impossible for them to have made less than $7 Billion in profit since 1996.
I don't need a source showing the extremely obvious factor that Game Freak is incurring more costs per game than $100M because its completely unreasonable. I don't need a source to claim that a Banana takes a less than a million dollars to grow for the same reason, it's blatantly obvious. Shit, YOU need a source to make such a bold claim. Why the fuck do you get to declare that DP took more money to make than GTAV? You got a source on that one, bud?
