Despicable motherfuckers.

>Paying for Star Shitizen's development when Michel Ancel promised to do even better without E-begging

>150 million

jesus christ, thats more then metal gear solid 5's budget

>>380818114
that's more than GTA V budget... they spent 100 million more in marketing only

>>380818114
That's more than every game ever besides Star Wars: The Old Republic

I'm starting to sympathize with microsoft studios when they mad chris roberts finish freelancer at gunpoint and then saw him out the door

WHY DID POKEMON RED/BLUE COST 50 FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS TO MAKE

MY ASS THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY

>>380817136
>tfw one of my friends believes this game is actually not only come out, but be good when it does

He keeps trying to get me to buy one of these ships so I don't have to worry about in-game insurance. I just try to change the subject whenever he starts talking about this shit now.

>>380818854
>shovelware like Crysis 3 and Watch Dogs costed more than Shenmue

Coffee is like rocket fuel for office drones.

If you've never worked in a white collar job you've got no idea.

>>380819334
my dad makes a lot of money but he works 10~11 hours a day and drink 2 bucks coffee in a chinese shop so dirty that even homeless people avoid going there.

>>380819334
Not because it's an effective upper, but just because it's a meme. Like stock brokers and cocaine, except infinitely more pathetic.

>>380815115
And valve refills its snack bar with your skin/case money instead of making games.

>>380819747
it is pretty effective
doesn't justify this garbage though

>>380819334

he's right you know

>>380819334
You can get that with a $30-$60 coffee maker, not a $13000 espresso scam.

>>380815115
i bet they their employees have free buffet for meals too and not forgetting tea breaks, smoking breaks unsheduled prayer breaks,

where the fuck do i sign up?

>>380819120
That's marketing cost.

>>380819939
that's true but not everyone is as smart as we are.

people think that expensive things are better even when they aren't. just having the right "atmosphere" matters

>>380819334
this lamborghini? gotta get to work somehow!

>>380819120
The 50 is in the marketing cost, considering how much they pushed into making pokemon big in the west I believe it, also the game where in development for like 5 years.

>caffeiene isnt an effective upper
it wont make you bounce of the walls, but it effectively increases focus and coordination. being straight-edge isnt a virtue, faggot

>>380815115
>Coffee Educator.

They do that. When the place I worked at bought a $16,000 Espresso machine they sent a guy in a suit to teach us how to use it.

>>380819334
Office drones smoke weed on breaks. Why do you think most modern weed accessories are sleek, black leather business-looking shit?

>>380815115
To be fair they've released playable modules. Not like Bannerlord which has been in development for 5 years and is never coming out

>>380819334
I have unmedicated ADD and coffee is the only thing that let's me focus enough to get any work done

Fuck, someone teach my how to draw a vagania

>>380820139
Any large company, but keep in mind you get all those perks as a result of having to work 7 day weeks, sleeping in the office because you have to do 18h shifts and such.

They lure people with the "look how much fun it is at work guys!" free kegs of beer, gyms, pools and buffets so they get salary-slaves who'll gladly work long shifts, no breaks, no days off and no paid leave and not complain.

>>380819491

Is your dad Rick Deckard?

>>380820820
>Draw

Mate, it's a TEXT game.

>>380815115
I don't like SC or whatever but that's on the cheap side for a coffee machine

Didnt even buy the game and I have to admit this is some fucked up shit.

>>380820820
I'm pretty sure that gets split between like 4 people. Pretty good money, but not surgeon-tier cash for one person

>>380821005
>Mate, it's a TEXT game.

I know, but I gotta be able to visualize it to write about it.

>>380818854
this kind of list is going to be really misleading, as the budgets of 99% of games are never going to be known/released.

>>380820820
He doesn't even draw. It's just a text game. I think he takes some images the community makes to use as avatars sometimes, but they are usually shit.

>>380818854
some of these are really surprising to me

>>380821163
That's still like 90k a year. For drawing smut.
sign me up

>Marvel at my ship in my personal hangar every night in glorious VR
So fucking hyped. Oh wait, this is /v/ so even upcoming masterpieces are totally shit on without any reserve.
I guarantee half of you chucklefucks will buy it once it starts winning awards.

>>380821163
>over 100k a year for barely doing anything

wow i feel sorry for the guy

>>380821205
like this list is even dumber looking, but slightly more accurate

Coffee is a fucking meme.

>>380821319
From what I seen, patrons will start to force their fetishes on you, while you slowly lose creative control over what you can/can't draw. That's usually when internet drama starts to hit as well.

Derek Smart is right?

>>380821369
>i-it's going to be released guys i swear

>>380821718
and I thought the futa people had money, then the furries showed up

>>380815115
If they have a dedicated coffee guy making that much, how much do you think they pay the hooker they have on retainer?
Most game devs usually skimp out on that facet of the company and morale generally suffers.

Got a friend I met on for honor that never shuts the fuck up about it.
>"Hey man whats up"
>Me
>"Nothing much just chilling looking at the deals on steam"
>"Cool man cool"
>2 minute pause
>"So uh yea they nerfed shinobi, and they still haven't fixed orochi flicker bug"
>"Kek today I made some stacked group rage quit"
>"they got fucked, I really just started using peacekeeper"
"The flicker is ridiculous, her zone is so quick spamming noobs to death is easy af."
Usually around here he'll send me some for honor meme.
"Yea thats cool, I dont really play anymore."
He still brings it up to this fucking day.

>>380819334
It just makes them perform like normal because without it they get withdrawals. People who are not addicted perform on the same or higher level.

>>380822237
I know a black coworker that plays street fighter 5 and smash.
>about to go in my room after a long day with food in my hand
>he comes out his room
>"bruh lemme show you this play real quick"
>he tries to show my like 40 videos of his matches he saved on his phone

I hate both of those games, yet he'll keep talking to me about them and bragging about his rank and skills. I'm so glad I stopped playing fighting games.

>>380821892
Yep. In all honesty I wouldn't know how to start a patreon, without bursting the fetish bubble. If you start one, you will encounter people who pay big money first, and ask fetish demands later, so basically they hold their own cash as hostage.

It's best to be upfront from the beginning, but that's only assuming if you care about what you draw.

>>380819182
But it will.
those weekly updates just show how much work goes into it.

>>380822952
Nah.

I mean, believe what you like, but Chris can't keep his dates right. You would be an absolute moron to take anything he says at face value.
