TechRaptor - Bungie is a company that does a downright excellent job at making games. From Marathon to Halo 3, we have had the ability to play games that are legends in the gaming community, and really changed the industry in many ways. With that said, ever since Bungie stepped away from Microsoft back in 2007, and then Halo after the release of Halo: Reach, gamers have been waiting for what is surely going to be the next big game. After many teases, questions, and speculation, we finally were offered some details about their all new game, Destiny. Thanks to Bungie’s track record, this brand new IP is definitely one of the most anticipated games of 2014!
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.
I can't say anything I've seen of the game has really wowed me yet, but it's Bungie so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
destiny > titanfall
plus destiny is going to last 10 years according to bungie!
how many titanfalls will ea sh*t out by then?
I just wish for Bungie to make Destiny in the same universe as Marathon, I love Marathon and Halo Lore so much, I just don't want it to end on them. Please have a connection please!
and they are not under EA.! (at least Activison puts out finished games)
If I can play this in the same style of DC Universe, but with Halo like themes the rest of my year is already booked. I just wish Activision would make an MMO Prototype game as part 3.
