"Destiny is Bungie's latest offerings to the FPS genre and unless you have been living in a cave these past few months it would've been hard to miss the massive PR campaign and controversial media reviews that followed this past week.
Moving beyond the opinion pieces and reviews, we aim is to get down to the nitty gritty of the FPSMMORPG with detailed instructions, tips, secrets and guides on what to do in Bungie's massive online social adventure." PS4.sx
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.
Good to see people aren't letting reviews phase them from this game. I honestly feel like its been growing more and more on me these last couple of days of playing.
I just read it sold 325 million in the first five days, I would think no one is swayed by reviews at this point.
Oh goodie, I know I need all the tips I can source.
Diidn't they say it made $500 million?
Despite popular opinions this game is by far the most fun I have had on my ps4. this will tie me over until December for sure.
325 million divided by an average of 60 dollars, comes up to a hell lot of people proving reviewers don't have a clue when a great game smacks them in the face.
