That graph you made is not true. Gaming insiders have claimed countless times that development costs are not going up linearly. Thats why they sell us the same thing over again. So they can keep development costs down to make a constant similar profit. If the costs were linear like that a company would eventually stop making profit if they were selling the same game over again with linear cost margins.,(reply>), The problem is that development costs are comfortable for the developers to break even but I'm order to make a massive profit like they want to do they have to cut content and charge people a shitload of money
