The Dark Below Gameplay Trailer of Destiny.
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.
Looks cool.
I dont even enjoy pve that much, only reason to play pve for was to upgrade armour, with new patch all that has changed.
Pvp is just like any m.p, its fun as hell and im still playing it. I love it. Destiny may not be perfect but no game is.
Dare i say best game this gen? Maybe bungie can realize some of their faults add some free stuff down the line. But for me and im only speaking for my self, i got my monies worth from destiny.
I'm excited.
November was unofficially my month away from Destiny.
I don't know yet whether this will be enough to make my return permanent. Though the length of my stay, despite the content, surprised me the first time, so.. (and by that I mean I got addicted)
Personally, I don't see what sets this $20 expansion apart from the FREE limited-time events. They both add a new vendor to the tower, they both add a lineup of new gear, & bounties.
It would leave one to believe the only thing truly being paid for is the 1 strike, 1 raid and 3 missions.
I just hope they have a slew of new legendary weapons and gear instead of a few exotics. It would have been nice to discover more Old Russia weaponry parts that you can take to Banshee and create futuristic versions (such as a Suros version of an AK-47 probably called the Laika: Just give this rifle a bone......"
Also more legendary gear should be in order that are both Hive and Earth inspired with exotics being rare due more to stats than just looks. Before I am lynched for the last comment read me out, the gear selection is terribly bland in Destiny which is sad because the factions have themes they can create gear for.
An example, New Monarchy looks to be Asian influenced so why aren't they selling gear that are based Ninja, Samurais and other well known warriors. Let the exotic gear based of Shinto, Buddhists or Confucius. (Like an Exotic called the Buddhist Palm which of course focuses on raising melee damage. It can be Tibetan Gauntlet that exposes your character arm holding Monk beads.) I'm tired of wearing gear that only difference aesthetic wise is just a colour of paint.
I thought of those ideas in 10 minutes. Come on Bungie, get it together.
