        It’s likely already budgeted for, so if it wasn’t used for this attack, it would have gone to another fruitless attack. It’s how they do business these days. The money isn’t important. It’s keeping the illusion of risk to pirating and thus illusion of value of their product. Basically, part of their marketing budget.
