Destiny launched with a ton of content, from Story missions to co-op Strikes, open world Patrols and now grueling Raids. But Bungie have made a ten year commitment to the game and the franchise, promising regular content updates and DLC packs. There is quite a lot to do already, but there are obvious gaps in the game world and the lore where more could be added – inaccessible areas, missing planets etc.
Here are just a few places that Destiny's first two expansions – Expansion I: The Dark Below (due in December) and Expansion II: House of Wolves – could take us.
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.
I wish they would make each planet really huge. One planet could easily have bigger maps to explore. Those are huge planets after all.
Jupiter has 67 moons, think of all the money Activision could make
Yeah another planet to go kill a bunch of grunts , wizards , elites and finally a few big bosses. Yes how cool.
Each expansion should do:
1) Add more playable areas to current planets (I.E. have a Earth map in say, the middle of a forest. Doesn't have to be connected to Old Russia but it should be able to be chosen when you select Earth)
2) Add new planets to explore that include 5-10 hrs of story content at a minimum
3) To coincide with 1 and 2, add a multitude of bounties (100+), gear, weapons, emblems, shaders (maybe custom shader option)
4) Add new strikes to existing planets and add strikes along with the new planets
5) New class options would be nice each update or so, maybe add a 4th and 5th option over time
6) Revamp the levels of area to coincide with the levels of people around the area (I.E. if there's a 22, 15, 28, 7 around the area, the enemies are level 18)
7)MOST WANTED - eventually, eventually, add space battles/space maps, I mean literally fighting in space with ships and your regular weapons... imagine a map on a huge blown up space station where you're bounding around with 0 gravity, would be fun.
They sure as hell won't take me to the store to buy destiny I'll tell you that much.
