6 mil is very cheap, and this game was obviously a money based on popular game tropes and memes

That's not a point though, valid or otherwise.

Do you know where the money gets spent when you come up with original ideas? Into the trash can. It's literally paying people to write down ideas on paper or in code, iterating, and then throwing them out, over and over again.

AAA titles also spend a truckload on voice acting and mocap. You don't need to mocap a round sheep monster. Sure, you could be incredibly stupid and pay Alan Tudyk to voice act the sheep, or pay Vin Diesal millions to say "I am Groot" 300 different ways, but no one should be ashamed for not doing so.
