One of the most mocked parts of the reveal of Call of Duty: Ghosts during the Xbox One presentation was the “intelligent fishes” engine showcased by Infinity Ward, coming second only to Riley the SEAL dog.
Today Bungie released a new video of the Destiny gameplay reveal showcased during Sony’s conference at E3, and hilarity ensues as the devs make fun of the Call of Duty fishes.
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.
You know what's sad? The casuals will probably be like " WOAH!!!! The fish move!? No way!!!"
With no sarcasm intended.
the best was when IW (or is it treyarch doing this one?) tried to claim that it was all a joke...
Well they are just making fun out of each other coz they are both under activision
Ha ha, go bungie. Even though they're great developers, they never take themselves too seriously. You could see that during the destiny demonstration at E3 as well.
I wonder if they tried real real real hard if they could get 2 schools of fish to swim away at the same time! That would bring the gaming world to it's knees at the sheer awesomeness of such a feat.
