'$100M is GTA-level money': A former developer on the 2013 Deadpool game says rumors of its budget are highly exaggerated

Deadpool leaned back in a chair in a dingy apartment.

A former developer who worked on the 2013 Deadpool action game says there's no way it cost over $100M to make, despite long-standing rumors and even Wikipedia claiming otherwise.

"Not even close," Chris Baker, a former developer who worked in Marvel's games division at the time of Deadpool's release, wrote on X of the rumored nine-figure budget. People insert this factoid into conversations about High Moon Studios' game, but there's actually no reliable source of that info. Wikipedia's page for the most expensive games to develop cites a 2015 Gamespot listicle with no source either.
