Wall Street Journal.

They stated that SC2 took over 100mill to make..well turns out thats wrong and that is how much WoW took...

Sadly The original story needs you to have a subscription to the WSJ..

This mistake makes me wonder how much SC2 did take to make tho.
I'm sure it's shocking in and of itself.

I was asked to do a little piece about Warcraft a while back, I told them what I knew and they basically said: "Naaah, make up some cool facts".

Media sucks!

Cool fact 1 - Night Elf can mate with Gnomes.

On topic, why can't our industry ever be taken seriously? >.>

My thoughts exactly, they just don't see videogames as a form of entertainment, but as toys.
This hurts us in the long run.
They will all remember GTA for its horrible crimes eh? ><

Fuck that, they'll remember it for the mass awesomeness that Starcraft II will be. It will unite the world but also split it.

@TaliciaDragonsong: Meh, we can go into pages and pages of the media and the industry and society, but it's not worth it. Blog it and I'll put some words, but not here in the SC2 Board...this place is a place of happiness and hope.

@KaosAngel:

I'm not much for RTS games, altho my interest has increased thanks to SC2 and I might just pick up SC1 sometime.
But if you'd sponsor me a copy of SC2, I won't argue with ya!

They were referring to Battlenet accounts and overall costs.

@TaliciaDragonsong: No cash, already wasted the $100 for the CE. You should get SC2.
@SoothsayerGB: Sweet, got a guy who read the article finally! Thanks mate! :)

I'm thinking at $30 to $50 million and I read about this story on this site.

Yeah, I'd buy that.

But if I may wonder further, I have to wonder how much they spent in infrastructure, support and whatnot specifically for this release even tho' it doesn't get booked as "StarCraft 2" development costs due to it's long term, multi-game value.

Do you mean the amount of money they invested in upgrading Battle.net and such?
