I remember for Destiny 1 there was a figure of roughly 1 billion thrown around. That figure included like 8 years of server costs and future development costs for expansions, which ended up also including Destiny 2. Probably a similar situation for other games nearing that total.

Yep, that tracks. Probably some people mixing up how much funding a studio was raising with the budget of the game’s production.
