Actually, in the IT world, this is a joke. Our server for our company, (a Small retail chain. NOT a multi million playerbase game), costs around 45,000. That's actually on the LOW side. A game like Destiny would require a dedicated climate controlled room called a server FARM. Think about 20-40 (8ft tall x 4ft wide), cases filling one room. Each server costs around 45k-60k. That's EXPENSIVE AS F***
Edit 1: Our server doesn't even have much RAM. Server ram is WAY more expensive than normal desktop ram.

While I agree with everything you said, I also must say that Bungie could easily afford all the needed dedicated servers, even at that price. They made more than 500 mill (more than the money used to make the game) on the launch day alone. Since then, with the release of 3 expansions, as well as micro transactions and whatever red bull paid bungie to sponsor them, they have gotten easily another billion (which I'm sure a few hundred mill of that has been used, between their current lousy servers, employees, new content, etc). So even with all these, they probably have about 1 billion left over. I think the reason bungie does not get dedicated servers for Destiny is because they are investing in Destiny 2 more. Really no point in getting good servers now, when this game will be replaced by Destiny two in 6 months or so. However, they will probably have dedicated servers for destiny 2. #TitanMasterRace

Because they never designed their network to operate with a central server architecture. It would be worth redesigning the ENTIRE multiplayer just to implement dedicated servers. Otherwise it'd just be a cluster f*** of work.

My company houses servers. I can tell you the amount of money, time, and space is impressive. I work in support so I don't know all the facts but I do remember them putting in the two dozen hvac systems along with the 2000+ gallon backup generator. There's some money in them thar dedicated servers.

And don't forget about the cost of bandwidth or the Man hours it would cost for updates and regular Server maintenance. Not that it's out of their budget to be able to drop 1/2 a mil on this.. but for OP to think it would only $45 a month is laughable.

Some of us don't understand sarcasm well. I'm not saying that I do but, there is one thing you should think of. The title of this thread is, " THIS is how much dedicated servers cost?!?! " While that is perfectly fine once you realize that the OP was trying to be satirical, there are probably a lot of users looking here to see the actual cost of the servers. I'm not smashing the OP, Just providing info for those people that are curious. As for your comment about my Education, Thanks! There are a lot of people on this forum that go out of their way to not pull their punches.

Wouldn't they also need different servers in different regions? I would think ping rates will be greatly affected if everyone's connections pinged through one central location in the world. Anyone outside the US would have slower response times due to extra travel times.
