I thought it was 250 million?
Most of the estimate is around 100-200 million. There isn’t any exact number but they supposedly have less then 170 employees combined with 8 years of development.

The Juche is strong with this post.
How do you even burn through that much cash lmao.
Lots of employees. The studios is located in Bellevue, Washington where game developers salaries on average is estimated at $101,000. Let’s say that everyone in the company earned $50,000 and they had a constant 170 employees for simplicity. Low estimate of salaries alone would be $68 million before considering other expenses. As far as we know, Concord is the only game they have developed.
That'd be around $17 million per year. Fixed costs could be another $20 million I suppose. It's still pretty steep. For comparison, GTA 5 took something like $200 million to make and they had over 1000 employees at the time.
I live in Washington, and Bellevue is quite expensive. They should've hired me as a consultant. I would've advised them to pull the plug after the first $10 million.
