Games in Asia says: “Today it’s a game like Destiny that’s not going to do too well anyway, tomorrow what’s going to stop Amazon from claiming FIFA, GTA, or any of the other games that sustain our business?”, asked a store owner.
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.

isnt india wiring like this picture?
surely they cant game online using it
I don't buy physical games anyhow, anymore. That was last generation. All digital for me now. No storage, no collector editions, no lining up at retailer.
Just browse, buy, and download!
I'm not going that way right now, so many games I want to play but not worth the $60 wait till they drop....some people don't have the money to go all Digital they need to trade in games
the ONLY reason I go 100% digital is Sony's gamesharing = ) I split every game with my cousin and up here in Ontario, Canada, we don't get charged tax on psn, so I save a good amount buying on release day, though I do miss trading on games I'll never play again.
and we're now paying 69.99$ for new AAA games, so every penny saved counts.
not sure why i don't have to pay tax on psn either, but it's been that way for years, yet both Wii u and Xbox charge me tax = /
