Here is some useful information that will help you get ready for Destiny's The Taken King.
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.
Definitely going to use that one-time level up, just for the heck of it. So annoying trying to find Light, not sure why they even put that in there in the first place.
There is nothing 'like' Destiny right now. And the phrase "Play a better game," is just a matter of opinion, not fact.
I like many games, but Destiny is right now definitely my favourite by far.
I've played Mass Effect all, Diablo (2 & 3), GTAs, Halo (all), Batman (all), Elder Scrolls (4,5 & online), Bloodbourne, Uncharted (all), CoDs (all), Star Wars (all since PCs). I own them all too (I have and still have, 360, PS3, Xbox One and PlayStation 4); loved them all.
But so far, Destiny takes the cake. A game that started good, but became better and better with time. Bungie listens and betters (and even corrects mistakes). Sometimes they take a lot of time to do it. Sometimes just a couple of weeks. But the original Destiny is nowhere to be found, the game is getting bigger and better. Over 800 of playtime and great times and stories with friends! Definitely getting my money's worth. Every single cent.
Can't wait for The Taken King!!! Some friends and I plan to delete one of our characters and start a new one to get the full story with the new Nolan North ghost! It's gonna be awesome!!
Here's the real five things Bungivision wants you to do:
1. Breakdown Fatebringer.
2. Breakdown VOC.
3. Breakdown Black Hammer.
4. Breakdown Found Verdict.
5. Breakdown Word of Crota, etc.
cause all our legendarys we grinded on for a year will be made obsolete in one day. Screw you Bungivision, I don't see any reason why we can't use weapons from year one to year ten, except for your own satisfaction not the gamers satisfaction.
I will not get The Taken King until Bungivision decides to patch in the ability to level up our older legendarys.
There I said my peace.
