    390 million on marketing and upper management bonuses and 10 million on the game itself. Probably.

      First I hear of it, so marketing hasn’t done enough for it yet it seems lol

        A comment like this happens on threads here no matter how big the game is. Perhaps it’s reflective of a Lemmy bubble we can put ourselves in; perhaps it’s just easier to avoid advertising these days; maybe it’s something else entirely. But marketing is for sure being spent on Gears of War.

          I think Lemmy users are more probable to skip Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo events than most, since 99% of the userbase of this site is a Steam user.

            I don’t own any of those consoles either, but they’re often chock full of third party releases, since the console manufacturers’ output declined so much in the past 15 years.

      I believe it. Honestly, from the trailer I saw, this kind of budget makes no sense
