This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

$5m to develop + $13.2m to market

Equivalent to about $32m in 2024. Not disagreeing, putting the value into perspective. Also consider the scale of vice city compared to your average AAA, even AA game. Games have significantly higher expectations nowadays.

Who's expectations?

Not the people playing, that's for sure.

The expectations from gamers is pretty cooked nowadays man, pay attention to the louder and larger voices on game forums, x (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook, steam etc.

Hah. This thread is literally coming from some guy finding that every game should be like Elden Ring and BG3.

That's not GTA VC size, so I'm gonna say Anon's expectations, to your question.
