I løbet af de seneste par år er det blevet dyrere og dyrere at lave spil af hvis kaliber, og dette har skabt problemer for mange studier, da spillene skal sælge mange millioner eksemplarer for at være profitable. Særligt projekter som Starfield er særligt dyre, siger Bethesda.
I et interview med Yahoo fortæller Pete Hines at selvom prisen altid har været høj, så er den blevet højere fordi det kræver flere ansatte at færdiggøre og finpudse dem.
"Games now are so diverse that to say the cost of all games are going up is a little too broad. To make big triple A games like Starfield is not cheap. It never was. The team sizes are certainly bigger. Hell, back on Morrowind that team was 35 people. That's not even close to the size on Fallout 76. But then you have a game like Legends which has a significantly smaller team than a lot of these other things. So it depends on what the game is and the size and the scope of it."
