Doug Creutz has commented on the potential impact Destiny and Titan Fall will have on the sales of Call of Duty: Ghosts and the future releases of the Call of Duty franchise.
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 Battlefield and Battlefront. They need to step their game up in a major way now, no more free passes and no more excuses. Go big or go home!
I think the biggest determent to COD right now is IW, and how AB keeps bouncing it back and forth between devs. If they want to keep it going strong they should pool resources and do it bi-yearly, instead of splitting the fan base between developers.
...Or better yet dump all of it into Destiny, because damn that looks cool.
future sales of call of duty series? absolutely. but come on guys. destiny and titan fall arent really on the average gamers mind right now simply because theyre not out yet. im not saying people dont think ahead but the masses dont really consider so far ahead into the future when buying a cod game.
Titanfall is a system seller. COD and BF4 aren't.
destiny is a whole different game but I expect titanfall to take some cod sales, BF4 too
