Kyle Barrows: "Bungie built an amazing and unique universe for us to explore, but filled it with the most uninspired and standard content possible. Everything beyond the aesthetics and mechanics is boring. Nothing is new."
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.
lol another 6. Are people just low-balling this game on purpose in spite of all the hype or what? Destiny is not a perfect 10 by any means, but a 6? C'mon. Name me a better game that's come out for the next-gen consoles. This is probably the best game since Assassins Creed 4. Watch Dogs and Titanfall didn't quite turn out how we thought they would. Infamous was a solid game, but doesn't have near as much content as Destiny and Black Flag. It may not be saying much given how dry console launches are, but you'd be hard-pressed to find better next-gen title to spend your money on.
Sony killed Bungie, Destiny is such mediocrity.
Haven't played this game. Is it really this bad? I remember BF4 got ~8.5's and that was a broken piece of shit on release, months after release too. I can't see Destiny being worse than that.
I completely disagree that it's just OK. I play it more than any other games out. And the fun I have with the co-op is amazing.
If you ask any of the people that play the game when you're on a fire team what they think of the game they all love it. I will keep enjoying this fun fun fun game.
I'm right there with ya. I'm enjoying the hell out of this game and it's straight up laughable how people are "reviewing" it. They think they can bring this juggernaut down with their biased, bandwagon riding opinions. Good luck! People will be playing Destiny for quite some time.
