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.

#7 The Secret World

Remember The Secret World? Yeah, I didn’t think so. The Secret World is an MMORPG set in modern-day where players join into one of three societies where they’ll take on missions, battle other players, and explore the world. After sinking an estimated $50,000,000 into the game, the reception for The Secret World was mixed as critics seemed to have enjoyed the game atmosphere and presentation but felt that the game lost most of its charm and lacked PVP content when it first launched. Developer Funcom stated a few months after the game launched, that The Secret World sold 200,000 copies below its expectations.
