With the update of the official site Bungie released a lot of new footage of Destiny, and apparently it hid a lot of interesting elements people still know nothing about.
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.
This game is really suffering from over exposure for me. I'm fed up of hearing about every detail of it!
Over exposure, more then half of the community that loyally follows this game think there isn't enough content,
We may know a lot so far, but for 2 minutes just think of all the things you do know, an how many questions an things you don't know about that same subject. I don't know about most but with all the stuff I do know so far, I just sit an think for a minute an my brain wants to explode with how many more questions I have about it.
Think to many people are under estimating an downplaying this game. As many followers as Bungie has amassed over the years, they have just as many na sayers.
I haven't been reading much about this game so I don't get caught up too much in the hype. With that said I am super stoked about playing this game. I believe it will be one of the defining games of this generation, much like GeOW and UC were last gen.
