OPM: With a PlayStation 4 reveal looking imminent within the week we line potential candidates for a PS4 launch line up? Based on rumours, investor calls and suspicious silences here are the games we suspect could be starting up next-gen gaming.
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 think it's going to be something like;
Battlefield 4, next CoD, inFamous 3, next AC, MGS Ground Zeroes, Watch Dogs and some new Playstation exclusive game or two which is always the case when a new system is released from sony to showcase what it can do.
I would expect KZ4, Motorstorm and Infamous 3 to be in there as most likely launch titles. Would certainly make me happy .
Sorcery 2 X'D
Hmm, they all sound decent and are expected but Sony might just troll us with this.
* Kaz Hirai comes on stage at E3
* Takes off sunglasses
* "The PS4 will also launch with:
Vigilante 8: 3rd Offence
Power Stone 3
Shenmue 3
Bloody Roar
Road Rash"

Activision decides to use new engine for Call of Duty
Okay fine, that's a bit far fetched; no way would Activision do that.
If the launch list is close to that, PS4 will have a much better start then PS3. I think its slightly shooter heavy, and those are all big shooter so i dont see them released together though.
