"We knew that PETA would go absolutely berserk," developer says; studio also discusses The Companion second-screen app.
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.
Lamest excuse I've ever heard.
If they want to present Destiny as more than a FPSMMO, then it needs to have other elements. Show a living world rather than arena areas.
If they don't want to code animals or do so in the immediate future, they should just say so.
Didn't we see that Destiny had a ground vehicle that is a mixture of the Ghost and Chopper from Halo? I remember seeing it in the trailer.
WTF! **** PETA, you guys are BUNGIE, one of the most well renowned and critically acclaimed game developers of all time. Why in the world would you care about what PETA thinks?! Ugh, they could use a few pointers from ubisoft.

Plus I doubt that any of the animals in the game will even be real animals. Why stifle the creativity. :(
Seriously though there are probably other reasons.
Well it's a good thing, because that's illegal in most countries....
hahaha I never assumed this game would have them anyway but now I'm just gonna say this about every games not expected to have them. No animal mounts in Uncharted 4 what :(
