@BaldBelper78 I imagine the actors see the revenue and want a higher cut. Would still lean towards poor management like you said. I don't think society is ready for AI replacing main characters yet. Nvidia had shown a pretty good example of a dynamically adjusting script which I could see happening soon. But any attempt at replacing actual actors will just cause a huge uproar in the acting community. I'd put money on that profession in most non live action roles evaporating with AI taking over but that will be a while.
I struggle to see how the actual game production cost has increased this much. Modern tools and computing have brought creation times down massively. A lot of features that were previously self code are now package installs. And the new console hardware leverages the PC space hardware massively. Get these studios to tell us total cost and the marketing cost. I won't be surprised if this is the same crap going on in the film industry. Marketing budgets are stupid now and to be honest I don't think I've ever seen an advert for any ps5 game I purchased. PC games studios don't seem to be screaming about this, do they? So maybe this is a corp bloat issue and not an actual cost of production issue.
