First off, $100 is a lot of money for a single game. 500,000 people won't pay that price. Additionally, server costs are not the issue here. Servers were expensive in like 2006, now they are dirt cheap for games. The costs come from delivering consistent content. If 500,000 people buy the game for a one time payment, then why should the devs bother working more for no additional profit? That's how businesses think, and that is how Zenimax thinks.
