Video game journalist maths:
Ok so 30,000 X 10 X 3 is £900,000, right?
Well, no.
That's just wages.
What about admin costs, rent, software licences, hardware, marketing costs, etc?
Another example of how out of touch gaming "journalists" are with everything around them.
This problem could have been solved if he had bothered speaking to a source to find out what the overhead costs are in developing a game. But why bother doing that when you can just make shit up?
When was the last time you read anything from one of these clowns where they actually spoke to a real source?
Everything is either regurgitated press release or unsourced opinion.
Burn gaming journalism to the ground and salt the earth.

And again for triple-A games' ongoing malaise, where the likes of Ubisoft, splitting its business in a scrabble for investment, are already feeling the strain.
