COG writes - Don’t give up hope everyone! We know July looks like it’s really light on new games to play but you can count on us to round up at least 5 great things to keep your eye out for. Check out July’s offerings inside.
Starting today, Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition and Guacamelee 2 are free at Epic Games Store.
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.
TLOU at 49.99?
That's way too much!
At least with the MASTERCHIEF COLLECTION YOU GET 10X the value for 10.00 more...
Given this is the Sony fanboy hosted site let the disagrees start!
With the amount of people who have a PS4 now that didn't have a PS3 when this came out last year I would say TLOU is priced well at $50. If you don't think so then you probably didn't play it, so go get it.
