He had originally planned to complete some tasks but accidentally ended up taking an endorsement deal, which turned out to be quite profitable; now Ren He could be considered as someone with a net worth over ten million.
However, he could imagine that once he started making a game, the speed at which money would be spent would surely be like flowing water—there was no doubt about that. To make a game, just the modeling and effects would cost a hefty sum. But his original 8 million plus the 9 million from this deal, adding up to 17 million, would absolutely be enough to create a Dota! And not just a low-end version!
This did give Ren He an unexpectedly pleasant surprise.
The highest costs in game production are actually two parts: labor cost and marketing cost.
Labor cost includes the salaries of programmers, artists, and other staff, while marketing cost refers to the advertising expenses when releasing the game.
