Apparently quite a few user are reporting on Reddit and NeoGAF that the PS4 beta of Bungie's Destiny is already available for pre-load for them.
Apparently, that's true for those that pre-ordered digitally on the PSN, and only in some regions so far.
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.
I received an email from Bungie that links me to the Destiny site asking me what region I'm from and what platform i want my code for, but when i select both of those things it says something along the lines of "codes aren't available at this time, check back on July 17th".
Dafuq?

Whelp...looks like I won't be trying the demo any time soon. With my paltry 100GB of data per month, this would very likely destroy my bank account with overages. That's a bummer
doesn't work for me, and I pre ordered on EU PSN
I have an unused code. First come first served.
