If there’s one game that’s been subject to an incredibly number of leaks ahead of time, it’s Destiny, which is even more surprising given Bungie’s history for secrecy and surprises. Ahead of the House of Wolves expansion pack in May, someone has found and leaked images allegedly showing off new Crucible game modes and their respective release dates – interestingly, they’re all supposedly due for release before the House of Wolves drops.
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.
i hate destiny's mp so much... i wish they'd focus more on the pve than on pvp for this game. i mean, this new mode isn't even that great. it's basically just hardcore mode like in every other game that has mp.
They should bring back the mode there is a trophy for. There was also bounties for it. They took it off after like the first week and never brought it back. Dumb.
Cant wait, sounds great!
Instead of adding pvp modes they could make some use out of vault of glass. Change drops to 36 light armors and 331 dmg weapons. Crota is crappiest thing ever. Can solo damn thing on normal in 30-40 minutes. On hard can get to the witches in 2 man team, kill Crota in 4 man team. And that's all without any glitches -.-. Still going back sometimes to Vault of glass because IT WAS FUN and actually required some team work.
They should add matchmaking for all modes.
