Is it feasible to get 100 million people to play this game even if it was free? I have to imagine that once you get to $400 million, every additional dollar has effectively no value add. When is it not better to just target a smaller user base and spend way less money? I’m unfamiliar with the ins an outs of this industry, so I am genuinely unsure.

This will be Star Citizen.

At best, if it ever properly launches, you will get maybe 20 mill of game from a lot more than that.

I think we can be fairly confident that just giving a ravenous game designer an unlimited credit card doesnt translate into a better game.
