When Destiny Update 2.1.1 arrives later this month, Bungie is changing how the special ammo economy in Crucible works for a more balanced gameplay from the start of the match.
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.
F****** finally! getting tired of being shotgun rushed in the first 10 seconds of a match.
This is one of the reasons i stopped playing destiny theres way too many nerfs going on it gets annoying
I stopped playing destiny long ago. I gave this a read because I remember when they changed the timer spawns for special ammo in crucible in general. I read and read and they got my pure soul to read everything until they said "only 3v3 playlists". I never played 3v3 and therefor just added 2 minutes of time added to destiny that was for nothing.
I swear Bungie spends more time fixing what they originally broke in the first place.
GG Bungie, i totally prefer this to fixing the garbage skill based match making, nothing but red bars in crucible since December.
