From the state of the game we are getting one new map a year and no more ritual armor sets due to lack of resources. But with the recent price hike for the season pass and the all of the things in the eververse store and hell even the event pass, more money is being spent on the game than ever. So the question I have is where is it all going? If you include the recent acquisition of 2 BILLION dollars that was used to buy bungie you guys should be swimming in money right now and able to make whatever you want. So what is going on in the studio where you can’t make anything new?

I imagine that it’s going to investors, shareholders, other projects (Matter, Marathon etc..). Don’t forget business costs. With an average salary of $80k+ with employee benefits, pension, healthcare etc.. on top for the 900 employees the staffing costs are not insignificant (likely to be $100 million+). Then there’s the building costs, IT infrastructure, furniture, equipment etc..
