PS4Home: "Sure, there will always be some minor complaints here and there, especially if you’re one of those gamers that are notoriously difficult to please, but the truth is that you won’t find any “faults” in destiny unless you’re actively looking for them."
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.
9.4 and 9.6... Oooo.. what's happening?
Lol, this writer is trying far too hard to make Destiny appear amazing... but only by telling us it's great rather than demonstrating it.
I'm really enjoying this game. It's a FPS with elements of an RPG. I woke up at 3am and kept playing it until 6am. I would have kept going, but I do have a life and I need to wash my car and do a few other things before my week begins.
Here's an honest, unbiased assessment of the game. It's a First Person Shooter that plays like World Of War Craft or Guild Wars. So if you enjoy games like Wolfenstein/Guild Wars, you will enjoy this game.
If you aren't a fan of Role-Playing Games, (grinding, leveling up, farming, searching for gear, loot drops) Then Destiny is not for you.
I had reservations about buying Destiny, but then I saw comments about grinding, loot, chests, and leveling up, I decided to give it a try.
I love this game and if you enjoy FPS and MMO's this game might work for you.
It's worth 8/10 for sure.
"but the truth is that you won’t find any “faults” in destiny unless you’re actively looking for them. It is incredibly easy to be lulled into a state of ecstasy, especially if you love open world exploration"
LMFAO...NO, just NO!
