GE: "An official announcement of Bungie's next project, Destiny, is coming soon. Last week, we heard that a reveal will be taking place "within a matter of weeks.""
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.
Looking forward to playing a bungie game on the ps4 when it arrives. Hopefully they drift away from the Halo formula and create a totally different experience because i personally dislike Halo with a passion. Couldn't help but think of the power rangers with lasers when ever i played the game.
Don't hate me, this is just my personal overview of the game.
but The first Game in the franchise is a MS exclusive, the first Destiny will be on the Next XBOX and the Xbox 360 for about 1 year!... i guess MS ponied up the cash for that to associate that game with the XBox brand.
So does this announcement/info have anything to do with feb 20th and sony?
I'm guessing there will be allot more info shared after they let the cat out of the bag.
I'm loving how more developers are starting to use viral marketing! I loved it when ND did it for TLOU, and I'm loving it now with Destiny; it's just getting me more pumped. WOOOOOOO!!!!! :D
game is going to be sweet but if you want to play it on ps3 your are going to have to wait a full year as microsoft has a whole 1 year exclusive right to the game ...
