StarCraft 2 - the most expensive game

Representatives of the magazine The Wall Street Journal managed to get information about how many specie coins resulted in the development of StarCraft 2 by Activision. It turned out that the project budget exceeded one hundred million dollars!

If the information is correct, then StarCraft 2 will be the most expensive game in history. At the beginning of this year, it became known that the Grand Theft Auto 4 is the best-ever action - Rockstar spent about a hundred million developing it.

However, Activision itself for the money spent is not worried and is confident that it will be possible to beat the costs - it’s enough to take into account that the game box costs about $ 60, plus a paid subscription to Battle.net (for Russia, Asia, Latin America), plus add-ons and souvenirs ...

In Russia, however, the toy will be sold a bit cheaper. So, for the DVD-packaging with an annual subscription will have to pay only 999 rubles. With the cost of other equipment you can find here .

UPDATE: Thanks for clarifying in the comments. Firstly, a paid subscription to SC2 will be required only for localized versions in some countries, where the game itself will cost less than $ 60 (including in Russia). Secondly, the subscription is required not only for network modes, but also for the single-player campaign ( pruflink ).
