Music is a big part of games and of course Bungie's new game, Destiny, is no exception. The first track for the game, named Awakening has been released to the public.
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.
It's quite different than from what I'm used to from Halo music, but it's still pretty neat.
Awakening was also the first Halo 4 track that was released fully before the game was released.
Lol?
I continue to be unimpressed by Destiny. I thought Bungie was going a completely new direction when they separated from MS. Turns out, all they have done is put Halo into a dynamic environment with more weapons choices...
Every time I have seen Destiny, its mechanics remind me of Halo. Not, a bad thing, but, hardly a reason for them to totally separate from MS.
I predict Destiny sells better on PS4 than X1 simply because PS has not had a Halo experience.
