bigger market base than ever though gaming isn't niche any more solely for the nerds and geeks, it's mainstream.I have said this for a long time but people seem to think games are too expensive even when not impacted by inflation for some reason. It seems to be a common thing on PCs in particular that people will spend £800+ Making a gaming PC then refuse to spend more than £30 on a game. It's odd.
some games sure sell a lot more copies across the multiple consoles+pc than a lot of hollywood movies do.
probably a lot cheaper to make the game, but movies cost less...
some games the advertising budget dwarfs the actual cost to make and distribute the game.
it's like your paying £50 to subsidise the advertising of the game, all the free copies for streamers, all the payments to get people to stream a game
games theys days can make over a billion dollars in sales ffs prices are just crazy.
how many hollywood movies made a billion?
