The Destiny Beta is out and ready to be played. After many users had issues getting on the game, many are finally able to get on and try it out. We’ve been playing the game on our twitch channel, but we’ll also be covering the Beta with our YouTube channel.
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.
Anyone in need of Beta keys?
@Below: Much obliged :)
where do u download the destiny beta. I can not find it in the PS store. I see if you preorder Destiny in the PS store you get the beta. I have a preorder with gamestop and I am not pre ordering with PS store to get the beta. I geuss I will wait until it is released.
I wish Sony would put in a app for beta only to shorten the search. I am jumping loops just to find beta to games.
I'm enjoying the beta. It's pretty good. Warlock all day, baybeh!
