GR - "The game promises to look top notch on next-gen platforms."
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.
And awesome it'll look! :D
Just to clarify:
"Bungie appears to be aware of the criticism the game's visuals received and has assured that the game will look "awesome" regardless of whether it's playing on the PlayStation 4, next-gen Xbox, PS3, or Xbox 360."
I actually thought the 6 seconds or so of footage we've seeen which I assume was PC looked really good when you consider this is a form of MMO. I'm dubbing it a persistent co-op driven competitive massively multiplayer online role playing game first person shooter. Or PCODCMMORPGFPS for short.
One of my asian friends is a die hard 360 fan but he also loves diablo & world of warcraft on pc. I showed him dc universe online for the ps3 and he said he loved it on pc but wasnt many ppl playing it on pc. I havent played it for months now but he bought a ps3 just for that game. He said there are alot more ppl on the ps3 version & the crazy thing is he use to hate uncharted aswell but bought it anyway off curiosity to see why ps3 fanboys love it so much & he got hooked and said he plays uncharted 3 & dc universe online all the time now. I told him, "I told u if u give the ps3 a chance u will fall in love with it for its amazing exclusives".
Cant wait to buy this on the ps4, should be an awesome mmo.
Of course they're going to say that. After all they are making the game. I know if I was developing a game I wouldn't say it's going to look okay. I'd be like, it's a crysis 3 on ultra PC killer. That would sell a ton of copies. I'm sure it will look great. I thought the early footage looked good.
