Ten Massively Expensive Video Game Failures

December 1, 2015 by Dennis Patrick

Big budget video games are big gambles. Here are the video game industry’s ten most expensive failures.

Video games are easily going toe-to-toe with blockbuster films when it comes to just how much is spent in creating these games along with the kickback on profitable these games become once they official launch. We’re talking about video game titles that take upwards of a hundred million dollars to create which is a massive deal especially if the game doesn’t do so well.

With that in mind, we decided to take a look at some of the more expensive video game failures that have released into the market. These video game development studios definitely took a big blow after they released their dull title and this is just a taste of some of the most expensive failures, and explore how and why they failed. 

Let's hope this list doesn't get any bigger in the years to come.
