MP1st - For the publishing company’s fourth quarter, Activision announces Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Ghosts as the No. 1 best selling title in aggregate across all platforms in the U.S. and Europe combined and No. 1 best selling title on both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
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.

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.
Call of duty is the biggest scam since religion
activation got lucky landing bungie they gonna have a lot of money between
Destiny and Call of Duty.
They didn't screw up Destiny and kept it from going exclusive, which means they have the upper hand in the next battle. Titanfall being exclusive to one console hurts its chances of becoming mainstream, and besides that game EA really has nothing to compete with Destiny.
Only studio that really stands a chance of stepping in Destiny's way, in my opinion, is Ubisoft with Rainbow Six or one of their other Tom Clancy titles.
They need to stop bragging about the cod franchise cos Its badly in need of an overhaul. I dont see them repeating this level of sucess though. They really messed up with this one and a lot of cod fans dropped out.
so it means that i have to skip Destiny until number 3 is released
