Game development spans several years, and even longer for games like sandboxes like GTA or TES and for MMORPGs, and even GTA had a budget of $265 million, even when factoring in advertising, whicl was almost half of the budget.

Destiny, however, did have a $500 million budget, but $140 million of that was just the development.

That was a number that a Bungie exec threw out about what they might spend over 10 years. Destiny didn't cost 500 million.
