Edit: you guys are clearly taking the title for more than is meant. I'm not stupid enough to think Bungie was just handed $500M, yes I know Activision holds the key to the money, and no I didn't forget about the damn advertising and development and crap.
It's clearly not going towards getting better equipment to run the game, people are still lagging everywhere I go even when my internet is fine. I understand Bungie uses a weird hybrid system that mixes part-time dedicated servers with authoritative player-to-player hosts and such, but it's obviously not working the way they wanted it to? So if this game has a $500M budget, why can't you spare some cash for upgrading the equipment it's played on?
I would say you could take the money from what you saved by illegally firing Martin O'Donnel, but I'm glad Bungie got -blam!-ed in the lawsuit. You deserve it, Bungie. You're -blam!-ing terrible people.

Edited by Ni Knight: 2/2/2016 5:49:47 AMI think it most went on marketing at the beginning. Dinklage as the Ghost and an exclusive music from Paul MacCartney, well, that alone wasn't cheap. At least it looks like it, because until the release of TTK, there was heavy marketing over their next content. Now all is quiet... But that's me just thinking out loud, who knows how it was invested/spent....
