Bungie's reveal of Destiny's newest expansion Rise of Iron, left more questions then answers. Will this next expansion fix some of Destiny's problems? Is there enough content to sell you on this 30 dollar expansion? Poli games host, Joseph, shares his thoughts and concerns about Destiny. Sharing his view on the very controversial Gjallerhorn pre-order incentive, Bungie ditching last gen consoles.
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.
So gang! How's your thoughts on Destiny: Rise of Iron? Is it a day 1 purchase? Hesitate? Or a no go? Do you want more of my Lord Salidin voice? Let's talk about it!
Nah. I enjoyed my time with Destiny, but i'm just burnt out right now. Maybe if they added a new class or a way to party up in-game for raids and nightfalls.
I'll pass. My eyes are no longer glazed
I'm not going back in until they separate PVE from PVP, changes to PVP effect PVE negatively. Also PVP is Bungie's way of carrying the game forward when they lack content.
Also the nerfs are ridiculous. Every weapon (excluding Swords, perhaps) has literally been nerfed since this game has been released.
The grind in this game is lackluster.
matchmaking is what this game needs
