As online multiplayer continues to become the strong focus of many publishers and developers, single player experiences remain to be ones players still want, and Bungie is facing this with Destiny.
Recently, Bungie's David Dague talked about the support single players will find within Destiny, and said playing with friends is the best way to enjoy this game.
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.
i haven't heard nothing about this game for awhile any new info is welcome, really looking forward to the beta as i can see myself just getting completely lost in this title
I think there losing me here. My preference is SP all the way, with occasional MP options. Not the other way around. I'm done with MP focused games, I've been pretty consistent with this entering this current gen and I feel very comfortable with that decision.
I hope they haven't lost sight of this.
Destiny is a single player, and the multiplayer elements are used to disguise the always online DRM.
Destiny, the new title that actually is "game changing".
I want to see the competitive multiplayer more than anything else for this game.
