Obviously publishers won't gave the same ammount of money to develop a 
game in spain as int USA... at least i don't think you can fool them 
that way :)
So perhaps we will get a 1/15 fraction of the ammount of money you (USA) 
can get from a publisher...
I don't know it for sure, as i don't work on games directly
