Much has been said about House of Wolves in the ramp up to launch. If you've been part of the reveal audience, we hope you've enjoyed the conversation. Fortunately, we've left some things for you to discover for yourselves. Here is the last sneak peek at your next adventure.
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.
The Queen is hot. Looks like a lot of content in this expansion.
no thanks.
I already bought this day 1 when I got the game, spent countless hours getting everything except the 4th horseman and then xur decides to sell every relevant exotic weapon/armor over the last 2 months. But I won't be playing this...
On top of this, I find that the guns are balanced so tightly that you can't go wrong with ANY gun in this game outside of Raids and Nightfall's where burns take effect.
So if every weapon feels the same across the board, why should there be any incentive on my grinding my way through the rest of the new weapons/armor?
Bungie has convinced people to keep playing this game despite putting you in this never ending loop. They want you to think you're getting more content when really everything is the same with a different skin.
And to make things worse they destroy the Vanguard portion of the game because of whiners in Crucible. Anything they change in Crucible carries over.
This game was fun when it lasted for me, but they are so worried about crucible feedback that the Vanguard portion can never be fixed. I have no doubts that many others will feel this way eventually if they already didn't before I came to this realization...
I am ready for this!
Gladi stopped playing months ago. I feel like I'll be playing a full game once this releases.
