Did Starfield really have a larger development budget though? I mean, its certainly plausible, but Early Access dropped a boatload of cash in Larian's lap to develop Baldur's Gate, so I also find it plausible that BG3 had a comparable budget. Does anybody have actual numbers?
Or I could just tell you that Starfield cost $415 Million with 500 devs and Bg3 cost 100 Million with 300 staff , not sure how many actual Devs, clearly a lot less.
I will send you a bill for my consulting work.
Also, its "Star Citizen" that cost $415 million (according to google). Starfield clocks in at $200 million. Still larger than BG3, but the correct comparison is a lot less dramatic.
As others have pointed out the $400 million is more or less correct for Starfield - including the marketing costs - and the number of Devs at 500 is also correct. What a waste of resources.
