Destiny’s next expansion is called Rise of Iron, according to leaked marketing materials that popped up on Reddit last night. The expansion, which is expected in September, should be officially revealed at E3.
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.
It's really just another sign that people who spend their time talking about or complaining about games on the internet are a very, very, small, minority of actual gamers.
People wonder why Sony is trying to bring some multiplayer games under their umbrella? Because done well, those games make money hand over hand.
Gamers love to say vote with your wallet and the masses have voted saying their okay with micro transactions for years now.
Think Ill just hold out for Destiny 2...
Destiny: the Rise of Morning Iron
meh
Still waiting for a 100% complete version of Destiny before I buy it :3
they expect us to wait an entire year for this legit expansion then they're going to do the same again after this releases waiting for Destiny 2. The problem with this is that about 3-4 months into the expansion, we're out of content and they expect us to do the same repetitive grind for another 8-9 months before the next expansion.
This isn't socom, where it's simply addicting perfection and you can go to war for consecutive hours daily. This game needs new content every so often, not once or twice a year...
