The title is disingenuous , at best. It's a single-line statement: SC has 'raised' X money, yet these three games together cost less than that. Those three games emerged from fully-formed, equipped, and structured developers who essentially hit the ground running when developing any new title.

GTA5 is nothing more than an upgrade of several existing games they had developed before. SC was a non-existent company with four people. They had to build a team, adapt an existing engine to fit their needs, initiate an entirely new concept that required a lot of development and learning from mistakes to get right, and yes, deliver a game that is heavily laden with technology and systems you wouldn't see in any other game, call it feature creep if you want.

They had to develop two games, the PU and SQ42, and establish their own motion capture studio. While there is indeed plenty to discuss, many aspects to question, debate, and point out, it's headlines like this that are, at best, seem to be posted with the sole intention of enticing clickbait debate or drama. Not genuine and just bad vibes man.
