Is This Game Worth $300 Million?

 

A massive multiplayer player online (or “MMO” for you non-geeks) game released by Electronic Arts (EA) that will cost you about $60 up front and $15 per month for the subscription.  With the power of Lucas Arts and EA behind it, the thought of this being a HUGE hit should be a no-brainer, right?  Except that reports estimate that the game cost somewhere between $100-$300 MILLION dollars to create…with most leaning heavily toward the $300 million rumors.

Wow.

Now, I know very little about MMO’s.  It’s nothing personal…they just don’t make my socks roll up and down.  But that does seem like a shitload of money to have to make back just to break even.

Here’s a trailer…let me know what you think…
