I believe the number is length of time multiplied by average studio salaries multiple by size of studio. No matter what, everyone is estimating between $300-400 M.

I believe it.
Devs claimed that the game was 8+ years in development since earliest stages, Sony paid a ton for acquisition alone, they also spend ton of marketing, CG movies, had an entire episode for that upcoming game show dedicated to Concord (while other IPs like God of War and others all share a single episode), they claimed the game will have weekly story short movies, already made multiple trailers, both CG and 2D animated etc. They spend money on making limited editions controllers and hardware about the game and so on.
The more you dig, the more insane it gets just HOW MUCH they spent on this game while literally no one heard of it or played it before they learned it was a failure.

Eh, it failed because it entered a crowded market with nothing new to offer, while all other major players have games well differentiated games and established fanbases. The game was fricked from the design stage. No amount of paint was going to save it. The character design didn't help, but unless they went with some coomer designs (like hoyoslop games) it would never actually sell the game.

I don't actually think so. If they did this then we wouldn't see sequels missing entire features from their predecessors and so on.
I'm pretty sure every time they make an AAA game they just start off from scratch since there's no way in heck anyone's actually gonna read their old games' codebases.
