Analysts and columnists love talking about the spiraling costs of video games. Obviously, video games are getting more expensive over time since the likes of Space Invaders was made by less than two-dozen people while Red Dead Redemption 2 had a staff of over 170 times that of Space Invaders.

However, it’s also not like they can’t afford the costs. The video games industry is worth over $135 billion in revenue annually. For comparison, that’s three times the revenue that the movie industry generates. Sure, microtransactions play a large part in that revenue figure but it’s still interesting to see gaming grow into such a massive industry from both a revenue and expense perspective.
