With the Destiny Alpha over, and the Beta soon arriving on PS4, do you have much reason to be excited?
A former Halo and Destiny executive producer has said the live service model is "so much better for developers and players" than the one-off $60 purchase model.
Well the Poll on the website is suggesting he is massively wrong and out of touch.
A big majority of the vote going to "I prefer one off purchases with paid expansions"
Couldn't agree more.
I'll always think the concept is awesome. Back during the PS3 era I pictured a Spider-Man game that would be the traditional open world swinging playground that they typically are but every comic issue would be turned into dlc. It'd be the entirety of the Amazing line, 2 to 3 issues at a time, turnt to dlc until the entire Amazing line is told in form of a game. That concept eventually made it to the industry and they have consistently fk'd it up with every game that has been made as a "service".
There is nothing like sitting down , popping in a great single player game and blocking out the world.
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
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.

Missed the alpha. Can't wait to get my hands on the beta!
The Alpha was up for such a little amount of time, I'm really looking forward to getting hands on with the Beta, and seeing what changes they've made! I'm hoping they allow the ability to hijack vehicles, as that's my main gripe against the game.
Clearly this author did not explore the tower enough. Yes you can change your armor color at the tower for minimal glimmer,
Before writing an article, late as it is, at least cross your T and dot your I...
Personally, i loved halo, but with destiny is really abondoning halo fans who dont want to leave xbox. while exclusive dlc for any product is terrible, ot seems extra hurtful this time around
