GameZone: "As much as I fault Destiny for its extremely repetitious and grind-heavy end-game, there is no denying that the game truly does start once you hit the soft level cap of 20. Sure you stop earning XP toward your overall level, but it's at that point you start earning some truly powerful gear imbued with Light, which raises your level past the game's maximum. But there are actually completely new activities available to you once you hit level 18 and higher, some which the game doesn't do a great job at explaining. So with that foreword, here are things you should be focusing on when you're level 20."
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.
And this is the problems with reviews. Many of them completely ignored the core gameplay and focused only on the SP story, which ignores 3/4 of the Earth, 1/2 the moon and so much more.
I understand the opinion that this is not a 10/10 game, but rushing out reviews just to rush out the review is ridiculous. The GI piece is spot on because they took the time to really get a good feel of the game.
But despite the bad, mediocre, and great reviews is the hateboy tendency to claim that one review is better than another because of conspiracy theories that somehow the review is not acceptable and only certain sites are.
That is foolish.
Too much work to deal with, gonna trade it in
