"By now we all know Destiny is going to be Huge, but with all the info we have recieved and even with the previous Alpha we know very little about Destiny’s story. Across the internet in multiple places Destiny fans have came upon an interesting bit of information about Destinys world, that information being the Guardians you play were previously dead."-Takuchat.
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 seriously can't wait for this game. I'm going to drop so many hours into the beta!
If EA wants my "Destiny" money, they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.
A little kingdoms of amateur thrown into the mix. A great game by the way!
Destiny might set the standard of FPS this gen. With the launch of BF4. DICE really mess up the Battlefield name with most gamers. Now most BF vets/die hard are mad at EA for releasing BF:Hardline. Only way I can see BF5 making an impact this-gen if DICE goes back too their roots. Take out SP and just give me something focus on mayhem.
Nothing wrong with 1st person shooters but I would love too have an large scale 3rd person title come too the market. TPS genre had a lot of awesome titles on PS2 and I would like too see some more.
