With all the Destiny Info, you would think that nothing could surprise you anymore. Today’s Gamescom event comes with a brand new Multiplayer reveal trailer for the game that shows off its many modes.
If that wasn’t enough, Bungie also took to the stage to announce that there are two expansion packs in development for the title within the first year, and the first of which, The Dark Below, will be available for PS4 users some time this year.
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 so hype
Clash looks insane!!
I wonder how many sales Destiny will get in general. They said only 1.5 million people beta tested the game and that was after it was open beta out of the 15 million next gen owners. Im not sure if there was an open beta on the PS3 & xbox 360 but if they were then that isn't very good numbers for an open beta on 4 platforms that was free for almost a week.
Not news, we've known for a long time that there are 2 expansion packs. And its coming to all platforms, not just PS4.
