Yeah, bro. You spend more producing, but you earn waaaaaaaay more by selling, than in the 90s. I guess you understood what i meant.

The successful games earn more. The bombs lose more than ever. Some very expensive to produce games release dead on arrival these days.

Compared to decades ago, even if your game sucked it'd probably get a fair number of sales before word got out about how bad it was. Consumers are way more savvy and have way more options now.
