Games cost less to develop now than ever.

First time I'm hearing that, got a link?

It's interesting actually. There are both games with insane budgets that cost more that than triple A games in years past and incredible tooling and assets available for very modest amounts of money + incredibly powerful computers very little. It's possible for some games to be made for less than ever before AND some to be made for more.
