Sources familiar with details of the production pegged the cost of the first nine 40-minute episodes at north of $80 million; the second batch of nine about to air has a price tag approaching $100 million. What drove the cost far beyond typical animation expenses, insiders say, were both a labor-intensive approach and frequent cost overruns triggered by delayed script deliveries after the second season was put into production with only a fraction of the season written.
But even more eyebrow-raising than the production cost was that Riot spent $60 million of its own money to promote the first season of “Arcane,” exponentially more than a studio would typically spend for a show it isn’t distributing — and far more than Netflix itself spent ($4 million per episode). Reps for the streaming service declined to comment for this article.

With mamba, it’s easy to set up software environments. A software environment is simply a set of different libraries, applications and their dependencies. The power of environments is that they can co-exist: you can easily have an environment called py27 for Python 2.7 and one called py310 for Python 3.10, so that multiple of your projects with different requirements have their dedicated environments. This is similar to “containers” and images. However, mamba makes it easy to add, update or remove software from the environments.
You can install it or just run the executable to create a python environment under Windows:
micromamba.exe create -n myenv python=3.10
This will create a myenv allocation under: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\mamba\envs\myenv
Once the environment is created, activate it with:
// FROM THE FOLDER WHERE THE micromamba.exe lives
set MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX=%APPDATA%\mamba
micromamba.exe shell init --shell cmd.exe --root-prefix %MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX%
// AND FROM A NEW SHELL
micromamba activate myenv
Or to execute a single command in this environment, use:
micromamba run -n myenv mycommand
NOTE if you get an error such as:
critical libmamba Shell not initialized
'micromamba' is running as a subprocess and can't modify the parent shell.
Thus you must initialize your shell before using activate and deactivate.
The error means your shell hasn’t been hooked for Micromamba activation, so micromamba activate can’t modify the parent cmd.exe process. To solve this: 1- set an environment variable for mamba to point to where the install is, ie:
setx MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX "H:\AppData\Roaming\mamba"
This may not be needed, but to check if your full install worked, from a command prompt enter: set You will likely see something like: MAMBA_BAT=C:\Users\<USER_NAME>.local\share\mamba\condabin\micromamba.bat MAMBA_EXE=C:\SOFTWARE\MicroMamba\Library\bin\micromamba.exe
These are defined by your micromamba.bat install under: C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\.local\share\mamba\condabin
