That feeling of disappointment is the feeling of someone putting their hand in your wallet and taking $40 dollars (hell, I guessed they named it right, the takin' king) because he's taking alright, he's just not giving, and therefore, Guardian there appears to be no real value for your money..

Sure we can say, "it's worth $40 bucks" -but Seriously, how can it be, when a brand new game with 10 times the content cost 60 bucks..

So for $20- bucks less then a full game, you get 1/10tenth the game, and an incredible feeling of you just got robbed stamp pasted on your head.. oh No! I'm sorry that's not a stamp that's actually a Suros-themed emblem and shader.

-Because nothing will say, "I just got robbed blind" better then this will.

Oh Bungie, when did you become that kind of company, "You were the chosen one!" - http://bit.ly/1KtPXwp

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter329d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

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.

Rude-ro329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

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

Kurt Russell328d ago

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.

buffig329d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast329d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g329d ago

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.

spicelicka329d ago

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.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai480d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface479d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard477d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
