They previously said that it went to data center equipment - stuff like the move from Montreal to California (which was a downgrade for the east coasters but an upgrade in server infrastructure), the EU data center, and the Oceania data center.

Physical servers cost money. Data center maintenance costs money. Replacing the hardware every 3-5 years (when it goes out of commercial warranty) costs money.

The extra money has never gone to the personnel for actual in game content or assets, as far as I know.
