IGN: "Coming to 'future console platforms' and current gen systems, just not in 2013."
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.
Nooooooooo!!!!!!
Oh well still gonna preorder this and ps4 :)
Dissapointing. While not much was shown gameplay wise, i am very excited for Destiny because of the setting/theme and information that was presented yesterday
This isn't a surprise, what is a surprise is that we'll be getting such a huge release on current hardware when new hardware will already be out.
I hope this doesn't mean that we aren't going to see any proper gameplay footage for ages, I'd love to see how it looks on next gen consoles.
Good news for me. I thought it was going to release on current-gen, and then on the next-gen consles a few months later. That would suck for me, as I want the game day one most likely, and would HAVE to (OCD) have the better version on next-gen consoles. So basically buy the game twice.
At least this way, I hope that it is released ps3/ps4 and 360/720 simultaneously, so those who forked out for the new consoles can enjoy the 'better' version. Obviously that all relies on cross-play. Also, the timed exclusive xbox deal is looking more and more doubtful, which is good. Everyone should be able to play it on their console of choice.
