Promotion for a game doesn't cost that much these days; developing the games doesn't cost that much these days (there are thousands of unemployed "game developers" fresh out of community college absolutely desperate for a job).
I can't help but get the feeling that a large chunk of that 70 dollars goes towards hookers and cocaine for company CEOs
