I always hear that it will take a lot of resources/they don’t have the funds to make new [x] but I don’t understand how this works when I assume they already have the workers on payroll? Where does the extra money come in? If the devs are already there being payed can’t they simply be directed to make [x]?

imagine you made a game, launched successfully and sold well
Would you make extra content for free, taking you away from other projects or a sequel where you get paid for your time?
Some developers choose to, but it’s usually planned in advance
The company pays workers to make profit for the company at the end of the day. The worker will get paid, but if they are working on free content, that takes them away from projects that bring in money
that’s not to say that companies DON’T make free content, but that is usually budgeted for in advance and is usually only possible if the game is consistently bringing in money (subscriptions, paid in game content etc)
