Hardcore Gamer: Destiny is already on pace to be one of the largest shooters ever made, and the possibilities for expansion are nearly limitless.
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.
Bigger than Tom Hanks in Big!
How is Destiny on pace to be one of the largest shooters ever? It hasn't even come out yet. Also to be mentioned with such company this early is premature.
I think people need to temper their expectations for Destiny. This type of hype can only lead to disappointment. It will surely be a good game, only time will tell if it will be a great game.
Big enough that it gets more stories on n4g than even TLOU?
can't wait for Mercury - the garden world.
also I hope they will increase level cap to 10 on 23-rd, I got some sweet blue lvl 10 weapons I would love to try :)
Is Uranus going to be in this game??? LOL!!! No seriously is it based on only our planets or multiple galaxies? The beta doesn't let me see anything else.
