IGN - How the tables have turned! Former Xbox-exclusive studio Bungie will put Destiny on PS4 at launch! How does our Xbox editor feel about that?
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.
OMG tables turn ! OMG console wars everyone!!! Seriously wise up guys these people are ruining gaming with this trolling enticing crap. It's been going on long enough. They don't give a crap about gaming they are doing this because it gets attention and it will stop if we say we've had enough.
Why do the ps4 games look bland ? with all them specs,i think ive heard this before with ps3 it does 120fps ect and x amount of polygons ect then when it was released nothing even close,games struggled at 30fps and polygon counts were like xbox1,all i know is Nintendo know how to make a powerful well balanced hardware that allows you to get more out sooner Criterion have said as much,not 1 ps4 game looked as good as X or Beyonetta2 sorry.
