How should developers meet the costs of AAA buy-to-play video game development and publishing?

Has the percent of profits from game sales gone up as well or is a loss taken because of company growth? I’m not trying to be an arse. Just generally curious on how the profit margin has changed vs expenses in the game industry.
Well if you're selling for $60 and not accounting for inflation over 20 years and increase salaries, team sizes, and costs, then profit margin can't go anywhere but down. Hence microtransactions, season passes, etc.

I totally understand. In my mind I kinda see it work like Attach the micros and dlc passes to the most popular games to increase the budget for other teams.

But has the number of units sold increased enough to just break even or not enough at all? It seems like in some cases the micro transactions aren’t necessary or could of been done in a better way that may seem more acceptable....from a PR stand point.
