You guys know that once a week Todd Awesome Does something crazy for all of the Destiny lovers out there. He gets up at 4 am to create a walk through video for each weeks Nightfall Strike Mission. This week is no different. So...Here is this weeks Nightfall Strike Walkthrough video.
This week the modifiers are:
Epic – Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.
Lightswitch – Minions of the Darkness deal much more melee damage.
Solar Burn – Solar Damage from any source is greatly increased.
Angry – Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage.
Nightfall – If all players die, you will be returned to orbit.
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.
This weeks nightfall should be a breeze now that they finally have one with Solar Burn. So as long as you have the ice breaker you are golden. Just like all the other nightfalls/weekly strikes, I will be soloing this one, but this time I'll actually be looking forward to it since I'll be able to wreak everything easily with the Ice Breaker. Plus I got myself a random drop Swarm machine gun that does solar damage!
