Destiny Beta is available to those who Pre-Order the full game and after spending the entire weekend playing with all three different classes, Mont Brown from PS4.sx has finally decided the Warlock is his favorite character for these very reasons.
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.
Heck no, I will hulk smash Warlocks with Titans everyday of the week and leap over their Nova bombs.
Agree Warlock FTW!

Everyone talking about Warlocks and Titans. My play through with Hunters have been awesome, couldn't see myself playing with any other classes. Maybe because I love the options of long range and stealth weapons I can utilize with Hunters.
People are underestimating the powers of Warlocks, remember we have only witnessed the surface of what these Jedi knight magicians can do and even what i have seen on the Beta has blown me away.
Warlock all the way and if you disagree I too will throw a knife in your face with my fancy cloak.
I choose warlock over very other class in any game and my obsession started 9 years ago in Warcraft. All I need in Destiny is a pet imp named Nalnar or a succubus named Jhornys.
And yeah I agree that bomb is kinda op but it has a very long cool down to balance it out. I'll probably run a lock when the game goes live but will try out the other classes here soon.
