armitage Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Since PE has almost $2.5 Millions now, I'm curious what were the budgets of other similar games like BG1/2, Torment, Icewind Dale and so on. Any clue or reference?

JWestfall Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Even if they are known, I'm not sure it would provide a useful metric to compare to PE - different tech, different business strategy. 3
santanzchild Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 A hell of alot of time and inflation as well. 2

A hell of alot of time and inflation as well. Oh yes. And the publisher layer on top (marketing and distribution) vastly bloat a game budget, so there's no direct correlation--that's something OP has to keep in mind.

I've expected less.
