Bro do you know what the cost of labor is for a well polished game?

The upfront cost is enormous.

They are no longer writing their own engines or coding said games in assembly. They use/rent etc said engine and work from there.

Compare:

Nintendo wasn't hurting at 50-60$ at all.

Depending on the game, Nintendo do use in house engines. It's been decades since anyone wrote anything in assembly. You really sound like you know a little and are acting like that means you know a lot.

Weird how tools improve and lead to less expensive labor. Did you have anything to say to the contrary other than how you feel?
