The most desirable object in Destiny remains elusive to so many players, even after 100s of hours played. Here’s why this exotic-class RPG continues to torment those that are denied.
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.
was so happy when i finally got mine.
It's not class based. I have two and got both on my Titan. Its simply RNG but the system weighting sucks. Once you get an exotic the system seems to be more likely to give you that exotic. I have one clan member who got two doing crota this weekend and he had a warlock and titan.
My friend was so mad cause i got this on my first nightfall, he's been playing since launch lol.
I got both of mine from the Deathsinger checkpoint in Crota's End two weeks apart.
I was one of the few who bought it from Xur the one time he had it, thinking to myself "nobody would ever want their exotic slot taken by a heavy! But I'll get it anyway as my first exotic"
I was so wrong!
