"The game begins with some beautiful, inspiring cinematics. In “present day,” astronauts land on Mars and discover a large spherical entity that seems to be a version of the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey" | Explosion.com
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.

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.
When I saw the word 'BUNGIE' appear on my Screen from my PS4. It just seemed right, spread your little wings BUNGIE and reach your full potential with the power of the PS4. No longer are you caged and shackled!
Fly my beauty.....FLY!!!
enjoying the beta very much, my only annoyance so far is people dont bother plugging in there mics, would be so much better
Interestingly enough, I barely touched the alpha....but I can't get enough of the beta. Only complaint I have is that I had horrible teammates and we couldn't beat the spider thing.... So after they all left, I left the world. When I returned, had to start the level back over. Is there another way?
