IRB Gamer: "Two titles, both of whom share Bungie’s legendary legacy of excellence, are about to clash for top dog in the FPS market, but which one should you get this holiday season? Should you go with the newbie, or the undisputed FPS sci-fi champ?"
Legend has it that this list of the best Xbox One Co-Op games is so good, it may require four people to fully enjoy.
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.
No contest for me. I'm getting both!!
No doubt halo is going to be getting the majority of my time... I've been awaiting the return of arena style shooters on console since halo3 went out of style... I never would have guessed a remake would signal the return, but I'm not complaining.
just gonna buy both.
will be skipping the new cod.
Does anyone else think the enemy AIs in Halo felt more idk "organic", its like the points that pop up when you hit them make them feel more like Score bags leaking points than actual enemies.
