I'm almost disgusted by the people insisting 'it's expensive, they need the money.'

They've made ten bucks a month, per player, for twenty straight years. Plus the price of a whole new game for every incremental expansion. How much more money does another expansion need?

It's not about reinvesting into the quality of future games, it's about getting a good financial quarter to please the shareholders. Welcome to infinite growth.
