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.
ive played 5 hours with a friend. And all the other hours alone :(.
It already feels like I play alone, even with a strike team. This game is boo boo
I can't find ppl to play with :(
Great article thanks for the tips I love a good campaign and ways to flesh it out. Is it Goty maybe not but I am loving it.
It wasn't made to play alone. But I will admit, all Bungie had to do was add some stupid cut scenes w/ an emotional song or two and mayne the narrator from portal 2 and everyone would be happy w/ single player.
But I love fps games and mmo's and with coming content added to what there is, I am more than happy. I love it.
What blows my mind is that Bungie tries something new that is very high quality, and we don't even give it time to mature before we crucify it.
But that is bungie fault to by shying away from the mmo moniker and allowing so many to think it would have a Halo like single player (though I never thought halo had a good sp myself).
