Anything for the people! Vote K.B.! J/k

I see no purpose or value in this code process for cards, haha people must have to much time on their hands or nothing better to do then mess around with that.

LordMaim3550d ago

Or look down on those who are interested in the game.

@Devilish Why did you need to comment exactly? Too much time on your hands or nothing better to do?

Edit: mispell & an identifier

DevilishSix3550d ago

Wasn't trying to offend anyone it just seems with the amount of cabbage thrown at this project and the five years development time, this card system is lame.

Specter2293550d ago

We dont know the purpose of the cards yet so collect em while you can till we find out they are useless.

tekken_god3550d ago

Some card actually give you in-game bonuses.

SonyMontana3550d ago

It's free, and people enjoy getting extra bonuses in games even if they are small. What's the problem? Don't care to participate, then don't.

Can it be Sept 9th already!? :(

Kilo_Brown3550d ago

Right there with you brotha!

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter362d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood362d ago (Edited 362d ago )

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.

Rude-ro361d ago (Edited 361d ago )

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

Kurt Russell361d ago

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.

buffig362d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast361d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername361d ago (Edited 361d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g361d ago

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.

spicelicka361d ago

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.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai512d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface511d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard509d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
