I didn't even bother reading the article. It's already been confirmed that the 500 million dollar budget thing was false

Well, for the first iteration of destiny. It's for the entire 10-year plan, but I wouldn't call that "false". [spoiler]more like partially true.[/spoiler]
-
That's not true either.
-
Which part? The 500M for the entire series? Or are you saying that 500M just never existed?
-
Edited by Tyger: 8/20/2014 3:04:17 AM500M was a made up number For exampleGTA v cost 266 million to make, so the entire Destiny franchise costing 500 mill would be incredibly low, but for a single game it would be incredible high. Not to mention the only comment made was that they wish they had 500 mill budget but sadly they don't

[quote]"For marketing you'd have to ask Activision people, but for development costs, not anything close to $500 million,” Parsons told GameIndustry International in an interview. “I think that speaks a lot more to the long-term investment that we're making in the future of the product.”[/quote] I mean Activision said it, wouldn't they get sued for lying or something? Are they allowed to make up numbers like that?
-
You can't get sued for lying unless that falls within the lines of another law
-
Oh, alright. Thanks Tyger.
-
I'm not trying to be a dick. I just think the activision employee saying "a 500 million dollar bet" May have been a figure of speech or something

No man, it's okay. You're like, one of the biggest names on the forums. I don't think you're being a dick at all. The forums are for discussing things like this, and I still think you're awesome! So it's all good man. I was just confused is all.

The 500 million was roughly the cost of the game development + advertising/marketing + setting up the foundation for a new IP. Basically they spent a lot of money but it wasn't just for this game like everyone made it out to be. The cost of making the series will equal out to being roughly what a normal AAA game would cost [b]per game in the series. [/b] So if the have 4 games it will equal roughly the cost of 4 AAA games
