"When you first start playing Destiny, the game is pretty straight forward with a fairly linear path to follow. You kill enemies, they rarely drop loot, that loot rarely appeals to you and you keep doing this until you beat the game. However, once you hit level 20 or the “soft cap,” the game really starts to open up with more options and things to play around with. While this can be overwhelming for some or even confusing for others, here is a quick guide to knowing the ins and outs of Destiny." - JPS
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.
Get on game sites and say its amazing you are now a pro. /s only having a laugh so defenders of destiny no need to go all metacritic on me.
I always found it funny to me that Bungie had the opportunity when they went multiplatform to make any game they wanted. Instead they made a scifi FPS shooter that completely regressed everything they accomplished with a superior game like Halo. That's like Mojang stop making games like minecraft to just make another create your world game, but with a few twists. I never got that logic. If they wanted to make a scifi shooter why not just take the lore of halo and just make it an MMO?
Pro at shooting AI that stands still and lets you shoot them in the face?
lol ok
At the moment, simply equip a shotgun and go around getting easy one shot kills.... lol I just got an exotic shotty that is main weapon slot, mowed down an entire team without even caring.
I'm sure they will eventually tone down the shotty like most games though.
