Destiny deals? Again? How many times are they gonna do this now. -_-

pivotplease3215d ago

First time I've seen the season pass on sale but I'll probably wait for it to be even cheaper. It still doesn't seem worth it and prices will drop like a rock when TTK releases/holiday games roll around.

Mr-Dude3215d ago

Still, this is like the 5th time destiny items are for sale on the store.

Christopher3215d ago

IKR? What's the big deal with them trying to get more people to play their game? The nerve of these developers.

WildArmed3213d ago

Makes sense to push the DLC now since they are releasing a new retail version that comes with all the DLC.

After the The Taken king is released, all of these digital dlc packs will lose most of their value (since hte retail will come with the dlc).

GearSkiN3215d ago

Hmm might actually get destiny... Can't decide, it is better than 40

vitorizzo3215d ago

wait for the taken king to come out before you buy destiny. theres a whole bundle with the game, the current DLC, and the taken king for 60 bucks

eklektic3215d ago

Yea just wait another year and you'll get the whole game. But of course by that time the beta testers will be done and no one will be playing BUT! You'll actually be playing the full version by yourself yay!!!!

objdadon3215d ago

If you like fps games, as a new player you'd love destiny. I've been playing since day one with almost 1500 hours as it's pretty much been the only thing I've played since. I've just started slowly playing the other games I've had in the plastic lol. There was a lot less content when I started and I still enjoyed myself for hundreds of hours.

GearSkiN3215d ago

Oh sorry for the typo guys I actual had Destiny since day one, I was talking about the DLC :) thanks for the info anyways! Appreciate that.

eklektic3215d ago

This is bungie and activision conning you fools once again.

MegaRay3215d ago

Is Young Justice any good? I am dying for anything Young Justice, screw you CN :(

IamTylerDurden13215d ago

Thinkin about Saints Row IV Re-Elected PS4 with Gat Out of Hell included for 19.99

Or just Gat Out of Hell PS4 for 9.99. Pretty good deal, has a Platinum trophy.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter333d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood333d ago (Edited 333d ago )

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.

Rude-ro332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

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.

Sonic1881332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell332d ago

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.

buffig333d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast332d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g332d ago

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.

spicelicka332d ago

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.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai483d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface482d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard480d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
