BlackWolf123519d ago

This is not a guide. He lists a few bullet points. Doesn't tell you how to access those things at all.

-Foxtrot3519d ago

You have to pay with in game currency...come on if I've got DLC least give me it free

frezhblunts3519d ago

Hey so do I have a problem if it still did not show up after I did that? The gamestop preorder sparrow came up and an emblem but not the vanguard armory

ProSid3519d ago

Where was the gamestop sparrow?i had preorde from gamestop and i didnt get it

ceballos77mx3519d ago (Edited 3519d ago )

So it doesnt appear on the game?

frezhblunts3519d ago

the sparrow appeared in a message from the same place this article is talking about but I did the vanguard armory too and still fail to see it. Hope it isn't major

Villain5283519d ago

U get the sparrow however u only get access to the vanguard armory. U still have to buy with glimmer tho. The exclusive armors guns and whatnot must be unlocked through strikes I believe. In no way am I saying this is 100 fact just answers that I found out from others when I investigated the issue

frezhblunts3519d ago

OH villian is that true? Makes a lot more sense, I saw a lot of top level guns I can buy if I had the money

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_Slaughter335d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood335d ago (Edited 335d 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-ro335d ago (Edited 335d 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 Russell334d 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.

buffig335d ago

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

anast335d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

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

z2g334d 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.

spicelicka334d 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...

CobraKai486d 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.

jeromeface485d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard482d ago

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