The Drop:
A vast shadow, chilling and absolute, draws towards Earth. Oryx sets his abominable gaze towards the Last City, and the call for Guardians resounds throughout the system. Destiny: The Taken King is coming this week on PS4 and PS3. Gather your light.
In the next step for world-renowned developer Bungie, The Taken King expands the Destiny experience in almost every way, introducing new battlefields, new weapons of war, and a refined universe heavily influenced by the players who know it so well. For those who have yet to partake in Bungie’s sweeping sci-fi shooter, Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition includes everything a prospective Guardian needs to battle Oryx and his Taken army.
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.
Looking back at everything that is Destiny, i have to say that it is Epic.
PS: is that bomberman?
