IGN Fireteam Chat says, "This week we talk about a hot issue concerning platform exclusive DLC. Does it hurt the Destiny community? We discuss."
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.
Nobody had an issue when Call of Dury had a lot of Xbox exclusive content back in the day, so no reason to start complaining about PlayStation exclusive Destiny content
I think it kinda sucks considering Destiny doesn't have much content anyways so the little it has being cut out as exclusives seems like its cutting off the fat off of a starved man.
I have had xbox for a while and while I have reaped the rewards of the 360s early content deals, I dislike console specific deals like this. Same for xbox stuff. Make exclusive first party games but stop cutting up games to sell as dlc to the highest bidder.
Aren't Xbox getting 2 extra strike with this update. The ones that were exclusive Y1 and the Y1 exclusieve guns. So PS gets 1 extra strike and Xbox 2 (for xboxusers) new strikes. So technically Xbox gets more content with this update then PS. I think Xbox should be happy bout that
