The way I see it they clearly make bank on how many people are on and for how long which seems to be why they love wasting hours of our time on these mindlessly boring unimaginative levels. Funny how they focus on only group play and make it a living nightmare for solo players. The servers have been blowing much harder than usual as well. I ran the weekly only to be kicked halfway through. Which is drastically longer than I care to play on any mission. Bungie might be the first shit company to release a "worst game of the year edition" for a game. And fanboys will line up outside of gamestop for the midnight release lol.
