Taken King Live Stream. The stream starts about the Five minute mark.
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.
Double the vault space, and no longer beign forced into play lists for bounties.
Awesome!!!!! Getting better and better!
Very excited to see the game become more of what we wanted as a game experience... Can't wait to go through with my titan and Hunter.
Glad our levels are not dropping to 20. 34 from the start on my Titan and Hunter. Will go ahead and make a Warlock to use the boost on. I like most of the changes. I like that Suros Scout rifle, it looks awesome IMO. The quests and bounties look setup nicely. Glad to see new bounties. I like that I can now get the faction gear minus the Crucible gear without being forced into PVP which I'm just not into for this game. But New monarchy, Dead Orbit, and Future War Cult are now open to us PVE only players. Not just engram drops here and there for the gear.
They seem to improve it constantly. Excited to see the culmination of what they learned in Destiny 2 next year. Give us more story and dispose of the crappy light leveling system.
