It was rumored 300 million, because people enjoy seeing something ruined. They get a kick out of it. What better way to make this happen than double its original production cost by two.

150 million is only 50 million more than GTA 4. 50 million is actually not that much if you realize that SWTOR is an MMORPG and GTA 4 wasn't.
