Looks like what you saw so far of Destiny is just the beginning, as Bungie gave a few interesting tidbits of information today on the game and the beta.
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.
Cant wait to play the beta :D
Can't wait for this game, Bungie have a special place in my heart and I've been dying to see what Bungie could achieve with their creative freedom and the more I hear about Destiny, the more excited I get.
I can't wait to play this on PS4, many hours will be lost to this game. Everytime I see it, it keeps looking better and better.
Looks like a multiplat Halo. As a former XB360 guys that went to PS4, that's a good thing. Now I won't miss anything!
TitanFall, Destiny and Halo 5 possibly this year. It is nice to have options as a fan of the sci-fi shooter genre. Will likely end up buying all three down the road.
