If there would be any area for improvement that Bungie should take a look into, it would be the breadth that would keep the players engaged and provide excellent gaming experience.
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.
Let Destiny be Destiny. It was a fun beta and looks to be a blast in September.
WTS, the game seemed like a mixture of a few games/had aspects of them...borderlands, Mass Effect, Halo, etc.
They seriously need to be looking at the Crucible gameplay. It was the weak point in the beta imo. They have put some nice rpg elements to the PvP, but the gameplay is very weak compared to Halo. They use the same gameplay formula in Destiny that they used in Halo(melee,grenade,jump,specia l power,and weapon fire). But in the beta the controls are clunky, and its too easy to die/kill. I can remember a Bungie interview years ago, in which the Bungie rep said their gameplay philosophy was built around 3 second confrontations. They have clearly strayed from that philosophy, confrontations in the Destiny beta were instant death/kill.
I just couldn't get into Destiny. I think because it stole so much from halo, it forgot what made halo fun. I came away from this beta very disappointed and bored, but I'm glad others love it. We cant all like the same thing after all.
