No beards in Destiny? The petition to get face-fuzz added is here

That's right folks! With your help, we can fight against the war on bare-cheeks. Our brave guardians currently don't have the option to don a savage beard, but you can make a difference by signing this small petition. Lend a hand, save a chin today!

In the future all hipsters have been killed. No skinny jeans or beards in the future. Only real men.

Zodiac3558d ago

Nothing hipster about having more facial hair than a 12 year old.

FarEastOrient3558d ago

Okay so how are all those beards going to fit into all those helmets ^_^

Fil1013558d ago

Ok but what about the women, men might have evolved in the future so why can't women too, I wanna see bearded women with tattoos and arms the size of trucks lol.
Jus kidding

MEsoJD3558d ago

The hell are you talking about?

TheWackyMan3558d ago

He's referring to your mother.

CyrusLemont3558d ago

They should be legendary items haha

Hysteria943558d ago

Not gonna lie here but thats a good idea haha bubbles for you.

tigertron3558d ago

I swear I saw a guy at the Tower with a beard...

HyperBear3558d ago

As a proud Canadian citizen, an avid NHL playoff fanatic, and a member of the Movember movement, I am deeply offended by this lack of beard/facial hair in our Destiny characters. I have signed this petition and hope you do as well and support the Destiny Facial Movement. LOL :D

ceejaa3558d ago

Dont know where all these petitions are coming from. Assassins creed for female character. Now for beards. If you dont like the game dont buy it. :-)

Volkama3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

Not the same at all! Assassins Creed playable females was a petition with a political agenda. Boring! Beards are a critically important feature of any game, so this petition is serious.

I sometimes consider growing a good beard in real life, but I am undecided on whether to shoot for "Majestic" or "Sinister". And quite concerned that I'll end up at "Tramp".

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter325d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

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.

Rude-ro325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

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.

Sonic1881325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell324d ago

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.

buffig325d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast325d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g325d ago

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.

spicelicka325d ago

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.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai476d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface475d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard472d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
