Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has become one of the top-rated games of the year, selling over 3.3 million copies despite operating on a remarkably small budget. The game's publisher, Kepler Interactive, along with its producers, emphasized that budget estimates for the game are often inflated, suggesting that the actual costs are significantly lower than those of typical triple-A games like Mirror's Edge and Vanquish. They argue that the industry needs to adopt more responsible budgeting practices, noting that many games can succeed without inflated financial backing.
I think that there's been a lot of irresponsible practices in the industry... Some games can make it work... But there are plenty that cannot.
...I would guarantee if you got 10 people to guess, I think all 10 wouldn't guess the actual figure.
Everybody's desperate to know what the budget is, and I won't tell them, but ... I'm sure Mirror's Edge and Vanquish cost more, put it that way.
...I've seen a lot of budget estimations that are all higher than the real budget.
