The games industry is underperformed, with frequent layoffs and studio closures occurring due to rising budgets, which are believed to be in the hundreds of millions for many triple-A games. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who has extensive interviews and reporting within the industry, suggests that new AAA games could cost $300 million or more to make, which could explain the current state of the industry. He also notes that if there is a significant disparity in budgets, it is likely because a game is being made somewhere else. The report suggests that the cost of new AAA game games could reach $300m or more, which is higher than most Hollywood blockbusters. However, while these numbers may be understandable, sustainability is another question.
