Let's ignore the fact wages don't necessarily match inflation or how low incomes are outside global north. There is a reason why Turks only have to pay 20 dollars for even new games because porkies know they'll not buy and wait for crack otherwise.

    I cant imagine a writer or story director would feel free to actually go hog wild because they’ve just got a big number in the backs of their head all the time, and whenever they think of something huge another 0 is added.

    Yes, absolutely. This is exactly how movie script writing works too. They have to be strategic with their use of big dramatic stuff happening. Any time they write something cool they have to think for a second like "is that actually gonna fit in the budget, can I replace it with something 90% as cool but 50% as expensive?"

    There's a word for it too but I don't remember it
