Wasn't GTA 5 like 100 millions? I mean it's insane but in the ballpark.

265 million in 2013 money which is 358 million in 2024 money.

IIRC, it's more like 250 million, but 250 million is still basically half of whatever this generic-ass live-service FPS game ended up costing, and it's certainly not to the scope or scale of GTA5.

I feel like they could have come up with a copycat hero shooter for like 20 million tops.
