Games take incredible man hours to create, not so much on the engineering side, but on the design side. Copywriting, UI, animation, integration, and game design are all very labor intensive tasks that are performed by highly skilled individuals. Even on the engineering side, the clients can often take a long time to develop compared to a normal app. As opposed to using Bootstrap or UIFramework, almost all game UI's are "hand rolled" from scratch, and often have odd quirks in their design that can lead to a lot of extra testing. Games in general, whether poorly made games, or well made games, are a huge sink of labor.
