Bungie's latest public event the Queen's Wrath is finally live and underway. This latest timed public event features new bounties with plenty of legendary items to collect in exchange for completing her majesty's challenge.
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.
I don't know what a King's Ransom is supposed to be, this article doesn't even mention anything called that. I've already done Queen bounties and the kill orders to get some purple gear, but I've never seen anything called King's Ransom.
I found the King's Ransom, it was a literal mountain of treasure.
Well I have gotten some good stuff, but it's all been bought with the Queen's favor in her shop by the Speaker or earned from the kill missions. You can find Petra Venj, the Queen's Emissary at the top of the stairs in the Tower where a new area has opened up.
Did one mission and got a nice chest price.. Its funny..
Started playing it and thought it was all new.. Then I remembered it was an early story mission with higher difficulty.. Had completely forgotten it..
Its a nice change of pace to be 100% certain to get a purple item.. Though it will duplicate.. My one buddy keeps getting the same helmet but dismantles it for much needed shards so it still works out
was it just random that I got the same damn helmet twice in a row? totally made me not want to do the kill order again...
