The Escapist: "Bungie knows how to get the best out of next generation hardware in Destiny."
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.
Couple errors in this article, but still good even though its just a recounting of the demo we've seen a bunch of times. Can't wait for this game to drop. Hoping for a PC release as well.
I'm looking forward to this one. It has the ambition defiance wanted but without the choppy gameplay.
I never really liked the Halo series. I know I'm in the minority on that one, but the guns didn't have any feel of heft or power behind them and the graphics were always a disappointment to me. Destiny looks phenomenal. I will be buying this for my PS4, no question. I just hope it plays as good as it looks.
I already have this beauty of a game pre ordered with killzone sf and battlefield 4 and knack! this should be a good start to break in my ps4 I hope destiny is lauch title but I doubt it ;/
