GamingBolt:
"The hardcore Destiny community has shown its usual pursuit of level grinding by not being too bothered by the current lack of suspend/resume functionality in the latest PS4 update and Megamanexe4 has instead continued on with his routine of data mining to bring early information to the masses. Still apparently unable to lock down Xur for inventory foresight, he brings word on the two upcoming strikes as well as next weeks Crucible events."
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 just wanna know when the next iron banner is
It's the Nexus.
Is anyone else getting tired of Destiny already?
The article mentions that Destiny players aren't bothered by the lack of Suspend/Resume functionality.
I LOL at this.
A) We have been playing this game for 6 months without that feature, why would the lack of it bother us now?
B) Bungie have confirmed that the Suspend/Resume feature will be included as part of the 1.1.2 update to be released in April.
So yeah......
