GE: "Activision and Bungie will be lifting an official embargo on Destiny later today, but IGN has accidentally uploaded a video early containing official concept art and details."
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 beautiful
when they plan to release it???
why isn't this for next gen?
So this is Sony's competition to pour cold water over ps4.............LAUGHABLE, both from MS and Nintendo. @ 2 comments above, it's current and next gen. Yeah it is coming to everything Harry. I see some people need to wake and smell the coffee too, the disagreeres that is.
Bungie on PS3...
Never thought i'd see the day lol
Man that concept art is amazing. I just hope the current-gen version isn't dialed down too many notches to deal with the large world. So basically, you'd have to buy it on 360, and then when PS4 and 720 come out get it again to play the 'real' version.
That's what I'll probably do. Can't wait for the new information today. Also, 'accident' my ass. Stop treating us gamers like fools, we know how marketing works.
