GP:"This is the successful eighth of our beloved MMO Destiny, and as customary here we are with brand new details of Xur the Agent of Nine. This special vendor of exotic items appears only at weekends from 9:00 am every Friday and leaves at 9:00 am every Sunday."
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.
Dammit I really want Patience and Time but I only have 18 strange coins!!
I guess I have to level up my Hunter, currently level 10, to level 26 so I could do the weekly again. That could take all day tomorrow, but I also want to play the Evolve alpha. Decisions, decisions.
Looks like a pretty weak selection this week. Mostly recycled items along with Patience and Time which isn't all that fantastic, ah well, saving coins for next week I guess!
Its one of the best arc snipers though, handy for nightfall! Looks awesome too, I am going to be a bit bias as it's the first exotic I got in Destiny!
Without a doubt one of the best sniper rifles in the game, The high stability on P&T make headshots too easy. I love this gun and now that mine is maxed out i have no reason to use any other sniper rifle.
i like both guns they both serve their purpose, i like the ice breaker a bit more.
