Destiny's restrictive chat system has a detrimental effect on the social experience we were promised by Bungie.
As it stands, the system requires players to invite players to parties rather than featuring a dynamic proximity chat system, forcing players to either send invites or play with mute teammates.
This system will inhibit our social interactions severely and take away from gameplay, especially in competitive matchmaking. Being able to easily and quickly communicate with your team is paramount, and it's time we tell Bungie how we feel so that this isn't implemented in the final release.
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.
Basically, Bungee need to allow team chat for the Crucible. All they need is a 'mute' option for those douches who like to listen to really really loud emo music in the background and whistle along into the mic!
For sure you need to be able to communicate with the people on your team, especially when you see them walking past your dead body and into an ambush at 'A', and there's no way to forwarn them.
Yeah, I feel robbed that I'm not being called the n word on Xbox Live every 5 minutes.
I like the way it is setup now.
I think it's great,90% of what people are saying is bullshit anyway.no more kids screaming in the mic,and how about the ones with the loud music in the background,that's all gone
love Bungie
Maybe the dancing , waving and pointing can be worked to a form of sign language.
Dance to party up , Point to give orders , Wave to attack. Lol
