Holy fricking shit GTA 6 budget may be as high as 2 billion dollars

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/88584/report-gta-6s-budget-could-be-as-high-2-billion/index.html

Like fricking heck dude like do they have full physics ball shrinkage and wrinkling in real time or what that this shits costing 2 billion dollars.

For context star citizen has collected 500 million.

Cyberpunk 2077 cost 313 million USD to make.

RDR2 cost somewhere between 370-540 million.

Either GTA VI is going to be the most advanced most powerful game in the world or it is going to be the biggest clusterfrick in the world in terms of biggest gaming disasters of all time.

Like seriously how the fricks they putting 2 billion in on a game.

This has to be bullshit ain't no way.

These days some companies have started selling games for 70$.

If sold at 70$ the game would have to sell 28+ million copies to be able to cover the budget costs.

For context GTAV has sold 170 million copies worldwide. GTAV had made about 6 billion dollars by April 2018. So you know what, holy shit they can actually afford to throw this much money into the sequel.

Holy shit GTA VI had better sell more copies than minecraft with a budget like that. Minecraft has sold a total 238 million copies till date.

Alright here my prediction. Either GTA VI will sell 25 million copies or 250 million. There is no inbetween.

For additional context the TV show LOTR Rings of power that we mock for its high cost ended up costing 715 million on production. GTA VI is like 2.5X the cost of Rings of power.

There is also the possibility that the information is completely false which would actually make me feel way better. Like 2 billion on a bideo game feels like a bit much even for someone like myself.

Just imagine ten years down the line and somehow the biggest game budgets are now 10 billion dollars a game and somehow they are still turning a profit. It's a crazy butt world out there. Shit I think if this trend continues I might just unironically join latestagecapitalism.

Anyways what features do you expect in GTA VI that will make it better than V? Will the graphics be better than RDR 2? Will the story be actually enjoyable. Will it make more money than the GDP of a middle income nation? Discuss.

2 billion seems way too high but they definitely are spending more than they need to be, whatever the actual amount is

I mean they made like 5-6 billion in profits from RDR2 alone they can definitely afford it. Plus the new corpo generation has no conception of risk and opportunity balancing.
