A million dollars?!?!? I think we pay like $60-150k per head. That doesn't all go to one company.
Perhaps if you have a 20+ person team it's possible that a supplier charges "a cool mil", but I'm pretty skeptical. If you have a big team anything can be expensive. That would be like implying laptops cost $20k, because you bought for a whole department.
This shit is expensive, but not THAT expensive. Support is like a grand for lessons, $150-300/hr. However, these are very normal rates for any engineering labor.
