Activision and Bungie have teamed up to bring one of the biggest projects gaming has ever seen, and when a person tries to wrap their mind around the scope of this franchise, you begin to realize this series could be representative of an entire generation of 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.
'Destiny' could be a game for an entire generation, is highly possible, Provided by circumstantial evidence by Nintendo X Monolithsoft upcoming game called "X" which likely be an MMORPG, which could sustain WiiU for Years.
People needs to start some serious thinking about what they think of Activision if they like Destiny.
Could be that Activision is giving Bungie what they want to make this title.
I cant wait to play this game!
I cant wait to play this with my friends..exploring the worlds..kicking ass with my buddies in tow. just, awesome!
"A game for an entire generation" needs to be on all platforms not just 2 especially when it's a bloody MMO.
Not announcing this for PC is crazy when PC is the home of MMOs.
It can't be pirated so it must just be a petty stance from Bungie. Same with Ubisoft with The Division.
