Polygon: "Our solar system is the playground of Bungie's new universe, Destiny."
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
This was back when the game wasn't free to play.
The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).
Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.
Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.
People spend way too much money on cosmetics.
Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.
Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well
It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.
Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.
For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.
By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

In Episode 1 of Spot On, a new weekly news show, Gamespot talks about the dangers of chasing a trend.
Playing Destiny 1 on PC has been something fans have been requesting for years. It looks like Destiny 1 is now playable on PC via the RPCS3 emulator.
This is exciting to read. Not because it is Bungie, but because it is what I expect from next-gen. It seems more complex and fleshed out than games I am able to play now on current consoles. So if this becomes the early standard, it would put pressure on other developers to evolve or become irrelevant. Bungie did do something like this before with the release of the original Halo then again with Halo on Xbox Live. They changed how FPS are implemented on console, then they created the way lobbies and match making is handled in today's competitive online games. Very smart guys on this team.
I just posted that in another thread hammad lol def reminds me of what Dust 514 Is doing
Just seen the vidoc the in game shots looked nice and the vidoc was well done. Ill keep an eye on it.
Looks like Planetside 2 mixed with Tribes:Ascend but with Firefall style gameplay!
Consolers are in for a great taste of what PC Gamers have already been playing!
DUST 514 , already playable on PS3
