How you conclude that Split Fiction Budget Was $50 Million?

[โ€“] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

An assumption that each employee costs them about $150k/year in salary/office space/benefits. There are lots of ways it can be more complicated than that, including the fact that they're in Sweden, but last I heard, $150k/year/developer was about what you'd expect to pay in the US, if a company was interested in replicating this kind of development in a place where labor costs are probably highest.
