Readers Gambit takes a look what it would take to keep everyone playing Destiny.
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.
more than 200hs with this game... and im done for now.
Do not have any motivation to continue playing it.
I will wait the expansion.
"Let me talk to my team"
You are allowed to. You just need to add them to your fire team. Then you can converse all you like.
It is the solution you are looking for when you state that you want to ignore the people who are "singing or screaming obscenities." Better yet, find a clan that has like minded people.
That is what I did and my banter isn't left up to chance.
They do offer guarenteed Ascendant "materials" for doing the daily heroic mission on level 28. For five days in a row I kept getting 2 Ascendant energy and yesterday I FINALLY got the 2 ascendant shards. I also got another shard in a public event. But I do agree that they should be offered more. Like the highest level strike, at least 1 Ascendant material would be nice.
I am currently working to level up to Vanguard 3 and should obtain that soon to get a nice legendary assault rifle to work on. I want to level up an exotic gear all the way and the legendary rifle all the way then hit the vault of glass for raid gear. Although, I really hope matchmaking for raids comes sooner then later.
what do you do when you reach level 30?
PvP is nothing to write home about. I hope there's level cap increases.
Im still enjoying it since day one, got a 24 warlock and 27 Hunter I've yet to start a titan and have stored all the random titan gear ive gotten.
But this last fix really messed up the game to me never had internet connection problems but yesterday was almost unplayable got kicked out a lot and it wasn't my connection because netflix was working fine, didnt like my assault rifle being nerfed, but thats ok.
