Can't see either of them

Well, making the graphics look realistic is expensive and time consuming. Modern people have developed a really good eye for spotting imperfections so if you want them to believe what they are seeing is real, it takes years of development and high end computers.

As for GTA 6, I don't know, bloat I guess.

2bn is a fuckload of gamedev salaries.

Its barely enough to wake the finance department at raytheon. They need fatter margins to embezzel with.

No game is worth a $2bn development cost; most games I play nowadays are indie and AA anyways.

Serious answer: it's comparing apples to oranges. For the B-2 the total cost of the program was about $45 billion and about double that in today's dollars. You get that two billion figure if you divide the total program cost by the 21 B-2s built, but you could've never developed and built a singular B-2 for just the unit price. And that's still double of GTA after adjusting for inflation

In 2025 USD the bombers cost more than 4 billion per unit btw:

"By 1996, the program produced 21 B-2s at a total cost of $44.7 billion (equivalent to $91,820,000,000 in 2025) or average cost of $2.13 billion (equivalent to $4,370,000,000 in 2025) per aircraft, including procurement, development, testing, and production"

I still to this day can't understand where this fact of them using 2 billion dollars for a fucking video game has come from.

Time and wages.
Remember how long it is in development and how many work on it

I mean GTA 5 online still makes them nearly a billion a year and they never planned for that. I think they're going to have a hard time getting people to leave FiveM servers for GTA6 and that's why PC isn't a focus

cant wait for gta 6 to be 1000 euros

I bet there including the development cost of the other games as well to inflate this price.

I was already convinced that GTA VI was the better value, even before all the detailed comments about how much more expensive the first bomber was than the lastest.

Any time someone acts out any violent fantasies in a video games, rather than as a head of state, that's a win.

Aeron chairs aren't free, bro.
