Regardless of the cost of lets say.. 50,000 of these little ones to be able to run the Destiny service EFFECTIVELY without constant downing.. and we are going to say they are building fresh servers and working with a big company to get this done. You're looking at 22-26 mil for set up (yes. Im serious on this. Been watching the deal to set up the email system for a country being set up and the cost for that has been around 24 mil so far) Now lets look at the launch. At launch they made RECORD sales at $500 Million. So we are looking at 1/20 of the initial profit for initial set up. And at $60 a copy, roughly 8.3 million people bought the game Now look at the dlc. And lets say overall 1/3 bought the season pass, 1/3 of the people payed full price for all 3. And 1/4 just bought the Legendary.. another $453 MILLION So before factoring in microtransactions, Bungie has made nearly a BILLION dollars off this game. Sure, Activision takes their publishing cut.. but when you add in all of the events and microtransactions, Bungie has a SHIT load of money earned off this all. So 1 billion.. and they can't spare 22 million or so to get us good quality servers. They have no excuse
