Curious about what might be the biggest game of the year? Find out what we loved, hated, and are questioning in this preview of Bungie's shared-world shooter.
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.
It depend s how far they expand the dlc ect
Only time will tell.. lol
Going to play the hell of it for the first month, will it have legs to keep me playing? Who knows
Slow and boring is destiny...is not the future...halo will be better...@nd titanfall already is better than destiny... (opinion)
I don't think it's a complete evolution of Halo. It is definitely progression though, with the open world setting and MMORPG leveling. The drop-in/drop-out public events are cool too. I just wish there was an option to allow voice chat with everyone. Like, have it have others on mute by default if they want, and you can manually switch it.
I honestly feel the graphics are held back by it being cross-gen, because though it looks really nice in some regards, in other ways it's kinda lacking. Some texture resolutions are pretty last gen when you get up to them, and when the background has lots of shrubbery and trees and stuff, moving around you can see the aliasing fuzziness. The characters and enemies look nice, but some could be even higher polycounts with more detail in general.
I'd like the next game in the series to be split up on last and current gens. Kind of like Assassin's Creed Unity is next gen and a different one is going to last gen. So that way they can give us a much more advanced engine for the game that is geared fully towards nextgen. I think it could look way better, even with a similar style, the AI could probably get atleast slightly better also.
