MP1st - According to posters being handed out with every Destiny pre order, it appears GameStop customers will be getting a bit of an in-game bonus item on launch day.
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.
How exciting...
Sounds good to me. I guess you are supposed to get a code from the participating dealers with the beta to enter on this page. http://www.bungie.net/en/Us... It was a little confusing before but looks like it's laid out now. I welcome any extra content. I was up in the air about which console to get it for. I leaned PS4 because of the extra content but.. On one hand PS4 will look better and have more content but on the other hand the chat quality on PS4 pales in comparison to XBL. How can I make clear call outs if it's all muffled? That matters to me a lot in Multiplayer. With that said both will play great.
I love how the article makes it sound like it's not a store exclusive.
Yay for cut dlc exclusives! s/
im gonna try to pre order this tomorrow really want that poster, could anyone tell me how beta access works??
Wish someone would announce a Collectors Edition for this
