One member of the Short Pause staff has been trolled for the last time by Xur and Cryptarch. During his moment of madness, he came up with an idea for a future DLC expansion, one that some guardians may find too enticing to pass up.
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.
OUCH...I feel your rage my friend
Guess I have just been lucky. Bought a engram and got a helm for my Titan. Saved all my marks and on thd first day of the expantion bought vanguard arm and legs. My chest dropped durning the story mission and I got my extioc helm from the nightfall. Was 31 in less then 24 hours. If I would have known that at the end of the story mission for the expantion that arms were the reward I would have waited. One thing I have learned is it seems the game is better if you have more then one character. Ever since I lvled a lock and Titan things have been easier for all 3 toons. Plus lvling weapons is much fast.
Here is an idea. Turn the servers off for this crap game. Everyone would be so happy.
Enjoyed this article! I feel your pain fellow Guardian!
