Heavy Rain cost developer Quantic Dream $21.8 million t' make, 'n with Sony's marketing budget added in, production costs topped out at $52.2 million (based on a mid-range euro-dollar exchange rate a $1.31), Quantic CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere tells Eurogamer. It be worth it in the end - Heavy Rain made Sony more than $130.6 million.

"it be very profitable," Fondaumiere says. Since there seems t' be a wide discrepancy between the definition a "successful" in AAA 'n smaller games, it be always good t' know that YARRRR, more than $100 million be still "profitable" t' some developers.
