When a game is announced as cross-generation between PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360, it’s easy to understand why many that moved to the current generation of consoles feel a measure of their excitement ebb away. Cross-generation games tend to penalize the current generation platforms rather heavily in order to accommodate the restriction of the old ones.
Luckily the PS4 version of Destiny doesn't suffer from that problem too much.
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.
Looks like old gen players are gonna have a good time. But remember Bungie said they wanted 10 years out of this game...will we start to see Next Gen Only dlc?
Definitely they put some effort in the ps3 version congrats to them. if i didn't own a ps4 those screen assures me that that last gen was not an after-thought when developing this game.
The last gen stuff is really impressive. Kudos to Bungie for achieving that kind of fidelity on last gen tech. The next-gen stuff is nice but not really mind blowing but it is cross-gen.

if anyone still needs one
Wow last gens looks great. There isn't that much difference to be honest, atleast not for a casual gamer.
The leap of graphics this gen hasn't been that big just yet, if I wasn't obsessed with having the latest everything I wouldn't bother upgrading yet..
