During the PlayStation All Access Live Launch event Sony Computer Entertainment and Bungie showcased a new and impressive trailer of the upcoming shooter Destiny and announced that the beta will come first to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 thanks to a partnership between Activision and Sony.
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.
Exclusive DLC
Exclusive beta
PS4 version get.
Choppy ass vid, give us DIRECT FEED
It probably kills MS that Bungie is all over PlayStation stages everywhere. Not only will everyone know Bungie not making Halo anymore but their next project is being advertised as being the place you want to play it on PlayStation.
Destiny looks like it's gonna be a must have title. Can't wait to get a group going with my friends and quest to our hearts content.
I have to agree a bit as well the event was kind of underwelming I mean Sony has 14 first party studios under there belt we should of seen at the very least 2 new exclusives developed in house. Here is hoping that at the VGX awards they gives us something more. Waiting till the next E3 is going to suck ass :(
I dont see why ppl are disappointed? This was better then what they showed at e3. Plus this is just a few titles they showed off. U really think they would show everything all at this 1 hour event. U guys forgot that their is VGA's & other events they have to attend aswell. U guys act like sony aint going to have any other exclusives to show. This IMO was an awesome Launch party.
