Neil writes "Not only has Destiny - The Collection released today, but the Rise of Iron expansion is also hitting our screens. But to be competitive in the fantasy world that Destiny brings, you may just need a helping hand. And that is where today's DLC packs come in handy."
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.
If you want rise of iron but also a level 40 boost and also own the taken king. Buy the Destiny Collection Upgrade for £32. You get everything including the rise of iron and also a level 40 boost.
i like how they keep milking this for every drop
Wow that's steep. I can't imagine cheating yourself out of the experience by boosting this way. It honestly doesn't take long at all to just play and get to 40. A few days tops. Depending on your playing habits, skill, and friends. Only benefit I see on this is if you want to quickly upgrade extra characters.
You should not need boosters anyway, much better experience leveling the normal way.
There's gonna be noobs galore getting mixed in high-level matches. It's better to get the experience so you know what each type of enemy does and their patterns. You'll have less frustrated teammates.
