Officially, Marathon had a budget of at least $200 million, but it could be as high as $250 million. Even if the game has sold 3 million copies, that's not even half of the game's budget after store fee splits, and last we heard, the game was somewhere at less than 2 million copies sold.

This is purely for development costs. This doesn't include ongoing live service development and maintenance costs.

No idea what Bungie can do here to turn things around. At least in the immediate future. Looks like on the bright side, Bungie isn't so much panicking as they are having their heads down working on making the game better, and currently, no fears of an imminent shutdown.
