GameZone: "Yes, despite “the world is falling” attitude that many have greeted the recent update with, it is possible to get good gear in Destiny without sitting in front of a cave and mindlessly shooting at the black abyss. Here are a few ways you can outfit your Guardian in Legendary and Exotic gear by simply playing the game as it’s intended to be played (by grinding, I guess?)"
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.
Easy, farm the new loot cave lol.
Well not many plan on making another class. Destiny has the most painful no existent story mode ever why redo the game with a new character when every strike mission is a rehashed story mission lol and nobody's got time to spend another 50 hrs on grinding another character. Crysis story puts destinys story to shame and that's a pathetic fact. Once I get my character maxed I'm done with this amateur repetitive excuse for an mmo. Bungie has made entire fictional planets feel like simple linear halo story levels. Legendaries like Diablo 3 should be class specific. End of story. If I wanted a warlock legendary Id of made a warlock character. Everything about destiny is easily immediately repetitive. The story, the strikes, the queens mission, the getting screwed over by the crypt arch, the bountys, the patrol missions, everything is repetive. There's like a total of 5 missions across 3 planets and a moon and a total of 10 bounties that get rehashed over and over. For 500 million dollars destinys substance is a complete joke. Variety is not existant even at the beginning of the game it gets repetitive.
I highly suggest Queen's Wrath, the bounties are easy and once you complete them you unlock a mission that always gives you legendaries.
Its a sad day in gaming when people have to be told how to get good items and progress through the game without taking advantage of an accidental exploit.
@hugo yep did the bounties got the missions and nothing. I'll try one again tonight and see how it goes. Thanks though
