Why is game development so expensive?

This should have just been a $20 indie game made at their home but Sony oversucked their cock to no end.

its not. im making 2 games right now with no budget

if you are dumb enough to employ 20 numales and buy realestate for your studio, then its expensive

The cost of making games is so high and rising because consumer expectation is doing the same.
