If that stops, the game becomes a drain on the parent company’s resources, and can lead to shutdown.
That billion dollars you are referencing is most likely a total figure, and I would wager that a significant chunk of it went back to EA to fund whatever they were doing. New games, hostile takeovers, fancy breakrooms, whatever.
