Or is that only in games?

Pretty much.

But imagine having 500k vs having 15 million to make Star Wars a New Hope and you get the picture. For any given story, there's always going to be some amount of money under which you won't be able to do it convincingly. So you either get more money, or you rewrite the story so as to lower that number.

That's why it's unhelpful to point out super cheap movies that were very good, and then point to expensive duds and act like that invalidates the point. For every Trans4mers, there's also tons of crap indie films that didn't have enough money to do what they wanted and ended up suffering.
