"In order to take take on the bitter King who is vexed over your Guardians for killing his son, Crota, over a million times in the raid, new powers are needed to make his defeat epic. Each Guardian will acquire new subclasses—The Hunter (Nightstalker) void bow, Titan (Sunbreaker) burn hammer, and the Warlock (Stormcaller) arc energy. In addition to some new cool powers, players will experience a new raid, storyline, public events, weapons, and more." GamerFitnation
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.
YEah online will be ridiculous now
what a mess
well done
Haha this game still..... I really hope people act concisely when Destiny 2 comes out. This game is money grubbing at its best, I personally haven't bought an Activision game in years and frankly I could care less who the developer is as long as it's being published by Kotick. Gamers have spawned an ugly tumor in the industry by selling themselves short on these pathetically rushed games for a quick cash grab. Shame on people who bought the DLC as well as you deserved to be mistreated as they so willingly do. Other publishers would be smart to look away at the annoyance these idiots have done to gaming in recent years. This is a completely disgusting trend that just needs to die and it's up to the gamers to truly be smart about how they go about it. Tough to convince millions of idiots which is the real problem though. I love Sony but they really should shy away from this garbage and cruddy excuse games to take advantage of the all mighty dollar. Makes me sick to be a gamer and see this crap being pulled consistent throughout the years and having these games be tremendous successes. People should honestly feel stupid bitching about these games... it's their own stupidity that has allowed it and if you think anything is going to change...well then just look at yourself in the mirror and slap yourself. It's your fault that you buy this crap not anyone elses. There are way better games out there without this garbage people!!!
YOu know, sometime in my future gaming life I would like to play another game. Damn you Destiny!
Crucible will be interesting with this new expansion. I just hope the rest of the content is fulfilling, because the dark below they could have saved that.
