[quote][quote][quote][quote]bull. FUNDING PAYS THEM. profits from sales makes the company profit later. their salaries were never and will never be paid by you.[/quote] This[/quote] So you think that 5 year old budget is still covering their costs? You don't think that generating, keeping, and motivating customers is priority number one?? Smh... And you call ME ignorant?? Sigh...[/quote] 😂 it absolutely is NOT priority number one. Satisfying shareholders and making profit is priority one. Satisfying ALL customers is impossible. Satisfying the majority of customers is somewhat achievable, and they have done that. You are VERY ignorant.[/quote] You can't be serious... Bungie is a private company you dunce. Sigh. I'm not going to sit here and explain to you what can be researched easily online. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. And how do you think they make a profit?!?! Magic? SALES. DLC. IN-GAME PURCHASES. MERCHANDISE. They have partnerships and agreements and contracts with major companies. But those are two-way streets - their main source of intake is from us as consumers and repeat customers. How do you even think it works man? Use your brain.
