You gotta factor in the company went 4 years developing the game not bringing in any new money, and they continue to continue develop more for the game and maintain the game.
You also gotta factor in a chunk of that money went to taxes, to Activision, to marketing, and to pay off all the debt that piled up during the 4 years of no new games. On top of all of the other expenses for salaries, servers, and other infrastructure.
Not all those sales was pure profit.

If they were rolling in so much cash were it was no object to them then they wouldn't have needed Microsoft to help fund Halo, and wouldn't have needed Activision to help fund Destiny. They might not be poor, but you have no idea what their financials look/have looked like. They also have to keep themselves healthy for the long term. What business says "oh we did well this year, so next year we will just give everything away and just spend all of our money"

Halo was a PC game due to be released only on PC.. Microsoft asked them to make it for Xbox.. Bungie said no.. Microsoft buys bungie and forces them to make it only for Xbox :)

Lol is that how you think it went?

Edited by AscendantBarrin: 12/10/2015 10:52:30 PMNo, I never once said they should give away everything for free and if they want to offer micro transactions cool. Do you not see this is headed where every event will be tied in with them? It's like sitting at a restaurant and the server trying to sell you a new menu item after each bite

Bottom line: Bungie has made a shitload of money of a half finished game, repackaged cut content DLCs, and microtransactions that shouldn't exist in the first place -blam!- this company
