$500,000 on REQ packs. Not much to be honest.

Same article: 
"Revenue from Halo 5's microtransactions is likely even higher than $500,000. That's because only a "portion" of REQ bundle sales went to the Halo World Championship. However, the exact percentage split between funds that Microsoft keeps and money that goes to the Halo World Championship is unavailable."

So basically we are still clueless.

If it's anything like the Smite treasure chests, which contributed $0.50 per treasure chest to competition prize money pools that $500K still translates into a negligible total when compared to the $400 million total. It's unlikely to be more than $2.5 million total Req pack sales, and it will possibly be less. OTOH, if the contribution from req pack sales is capped at $500K then it tells us nothing of any value. Once the $500K has been reached we have no clue about req pack sales beyond that. Do we have any further infomration that might help to clarify this?
