Like a fine wine or Matthew McConaughey’s filmography, some games have only improved with the passage of time. As the industry veers ever further into the era of season passes, downloadable content and pre-order bonuses, a select handful of titles stand out as those which have actually made good on their promise to keep players continually engaged long after launch day. Each of the following games have been heartily expanded, enhanced and embellished since release, supported by developers who have treated post-launch support with the same amount of energy and care as the making of the base game itself. Naturally, the majority of these are multiplayer focused, but even a handful of single player titles are featured here too, proving that ageing gracefully is not exclusive to realm of online.
The world could always use a few more heroes, or in this case friends. Here are some Overwatch Heroes you would want to hang out with.
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.

Blizzard's blending of the FPS and MOBA was a masterpiece of design that met its end too soon.
I miss 6v6, lootboxes and an actual player level. I used to look forward to Junkenstein's Revenge at Halloween and the Christmas event cause of all the cool cosmetics you could earn. I'd play it every day. Now you play it for an hour, earn some stupid charm, and you're done. No reason to play anymore.
RIP OW2 is trash. My friends stopped playing it like we used to the first one every Friday night.
this. loved overwatch 1. 2 is no fun. there is lots to play… find something you like.
I'd never thought I would say this but the loot boxes in Overwatch wasn't so bad compared to what it is now.
I remember those epic dreamworks-like CGIs. I wasn't a fan at all but man, I knew it was a rediculously huge game. OW2 I've seen...nothing, died maybe after a week.
OW2 is a disaster. All these years to make the game 5v5….? And they scrapped PvE? The game just sucks man zero fun.
I think this is an important topic. A lot of those are well known but some games do get better and no longer reflect the shit meta score that was given a year or two ago.
I would add Driveclub and No Man's Sky
GTAV should've only been on there if they added single player dlc. GTA Online is a cesspool of the lowest common denominator of society.
I'd throw Halo 5 in there too. The amount of free content since launch is unprecedented. Whether you love or hate 343, they definitely delivered when it comes to content and variety of said content.
I think Halo 5 Forge is one of the most underrated user/community tools this generation. People have gone above and beyond what you could do in 3 and Reach. It's crazy what people can do especially with scripting. Hell, there's finally a Custom Game browser. A first for Halo.
