October 9, 201213 yr 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?
October 9, 201213 yr Game budgets are typically hush-hush, usually protected by nondisclosure agreements.

October 9, 201213 yr Even if they are known, I'm not sure it would provide a useful metric to compare to PE - different tech, different business strategy.

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.
