    Concord's credits are over an hour long, makes the $400 million figure a lot more believable. If you've worked with big projects, you'll probably have seen what insane amount of bloat can happen.
    I've been on a project that went $500 million OVER budget! And it was ABANDONED and restarted at the end of it, then they rehired the SAME contractors who ran up that bill for the new project, and now the NEW project is over budget again. Companies are run by individuals, and if they're a bunch of idiots, amazing things can happen.

    400 million is a believable figure. The game was expected to run as a live service and the next big thing for Sony. The credit list was a mile long, signed a tv deal, promised weekly cinematics, likely had made unreleased content to feed additional seasons, likely unreleased cash shop, cost to up keep live service isn't cheap and it's why they shut down.

    One thing about Concord that keeps getting overlooked: Firewalk designed Concord to be a 5v5 hero shooter. Firewalk was responsible for the game's presentation and whatnot. Sony saw Concord, was impressed by studio's talent and decided to acquire the studio. Sony was mostly hands-off in regards to Concord's development, as they are with most (if not all) of their studios.
    Evidently, there was some residual Bungie hubris among those ex -Bungie devs who thought Concord was gonna be the next big thing. To be fair, the game started development around the time the hero shooter genre wasn't so saturated, so maybe it is a bit understandable why they thought they had something great.

But let's put a tinfoil hat and pretend this is true, 200 million before, then another 200 million after, as for all intent and purposes Sony didn't invested those first 200 million, maybe a percentage of it, maybe they offset that value by buying the studio (that is partially more believable, development cost + marketing + studio acquirement = 400 million)

      It began when a pressure valve in one of the reactors failed to close, allowing cooling water-contaminated with radiation-to drain into adjoining buildings. Control room operators made critical errors as they struggled to contain the crisis, and by early morning the core had heated to over 4,000 degrees-just 1,000 degrees short of meltdown. As radioactive steam began pouring out of the plant, word of the incident leaked to the outside world; within days radiation levels were elevated over a four-county zone. Pennsylvania Governor Richard Thornburgh ordered the evacuation of pregnant women and small children from the area.
      On March 31, plant workers were able to address the problems and ended the threat of a meltdown. Although no official deaths or injuries were reported, there has been an ongoing controversy over whether the radiation released at Three Mile Island led to increased cancer and infant mortality rates in the region.

    I am keeping my hype to a very bare minimum for Battlefield 7. You can tell me all you want that the game will be like the classic BF3/4 games or classes will be brought back. Until that game launches, I don’t believe anything DICE or EA tell me about the new game

    I'm a dev and I know the budget of all projects I worked on. Even if the higher ups hide it, you can still estimate it because you know the development time and how many people have been working on it.

    A lot of people forget that Concord was supposed to be more than just a game.
    They had an animated short already planned and is going to be released. WEEKLY short films WEEKLY, so they had to have a crap ton of those made already to support that, and those shorts are expensive. It was 8 years of development. Also, the number of people who worked on this was enough for a 30-minute end credits scroll. God of Wars credits to put it in perspective was a 5min end credit scroll.
    I don't think the game itself was 400 million but everything AROUND it made it that expensive.
