To host bungies claimed 25 million players depending on the number of ip's the server can handle given that most dedicated servers cost anywhere from 80 to 120 I would assume bungie and Activision did an estimated cost assessment on the matter and to acquire them and actively run the entirety of destiny on all 4 systems they are running on for go in on 1.5 years I would guess probably would have caused problems budget wise Edit: $69.99-$245
