OnlySP: If you hadn’t noticed yet we like to focus on single player experiences, but of course that doesn’t mean we don’t cover games with multiplayer.
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.
Going off my experiences with Destiny, no.
Like, the more I do the strike mission in the beta, the more I am reminded how much I dislike playing with others. One game I had two people trying to snipe the tank from across the map and refused to get any closer unless they needed ammo and were constantly dying. Another game I had someone taking all the special and heavy ammo, so I kept dying to things that were quite avoidable if I had say shotgun shells, a few sniper bullets of even 1 rocket.
Thats not to say every experience I had was bad, but it's not like Destiny reinvented the wheel and suddenly removed inconsiderate* people from the equation. In so many ways I would much prefer missions either scaled to the number of people present like in Borderlands or I suppose the game gave me a worthless AI to take some of the tank heat of me than playing with randoms.
* I want to say stupid, but I am going to give people the benefit of doubt and simply assume they don't realize the impact their actions have on others.
Halo did for Xbox fans, the story will repeat for Sony fans.
Not really, ive only enjoyed titanfall and halo for my online experience. Hopefully games like Fable legends may change that.
I'll take a ps3 code from any of you who don't want to play lol.
its so overrated...
