There has been little to no exact confirmation on what to expect from next-gen consoles. People have started so many rumors that some are confused what to believe with next-gen consoles. Nothing has yet been 100 percent confirmed, no rumors, no leaks, neither the next-gen PlayStation nor the next-gen Xbox has even been confirmed. This probably poses as a disappointment to some that have heard rumors that they liked the sound of and yes it is unfortunate but that doesn’t mean that nothing about the next-gen video game industry hasn’t been confirmed.
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.

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 would love to play all of these games, even if it means waiting all the way to the next-gen console release
I'm excited to see what else they have in store!
I can't wait to try out Destiny. It looks like Halo and Mass Effect had a baby and that's alright with me!
Am I the only one who can't wait to see where sports games go? I look forward to seeing how they look and play more than the other games...so while I have a little wishlist I cant wait for those reveals.
