What began as an easy way to earn loot and experience points in Destiny has become a full-blown phenomenon. The Internet has caught Loot Cave Fever. People can't get enough!
A collection of humorous cave related articles
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.
It is actually sad that gamers calling themselves gamers and all they do in a game is to get to an exploit to farm loot so they can boast about their legendary weapons and armor XD! Most of them didn't even found that exploit on their own but instead are using a guide on the internet XD.
Well, I guess "Gamers" nowadays need guides and exploits and tricks to achieve something.
Sad but this is how gaming seems to works today :')
I found out about the cave here on N4G, I must admit it's actually quite fun when the hoards suddenly appear and swamp everyone with knights and stuff, play anyway you want to - I still do bounties and other stuff, it's just part of the game.
