King’s Watch, Jovian Complex and Seraphim Vault can be accessed in the beta!
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.
These are all really cool! It's fun that there is so much hidden stuff in the beta.
How do these guys find all that stuff?! I've played 25 hours of the beta and I haven't found anything cool like that. Makes me feel so behind and unaware. Game is rad though, almost got 175 crucible marks for that Crucible speeder. I hope bungie lets us keep some of that special gear.
A Star Wars fps like Destiny would be the sh*t. Makes me think about Battlefront.
The world of Destiny is huge! I can't wait to explore the full game. There's so hidden stuff in the beta and Alpha that I came across, I can't wait for the leashes to be taken off so we can go nuts grinding searching. This game has sold me since the Alpha, the beta is just an even bigger tease. Had to say I was skeptical of Destiny because of how poorly they brought the message across. The Alpha was awesome and the Beta so far is just fantastic
Wonder what else is hidden in the beta :D,I found a few things but can't get past a few areas with ???? Enemies.
I will search during these last few days of the beta and record my findings.
