Weak, nothing really new weapon/armour wise

thekhurg2803d ago

Other than the brand new warlock boots that have never been available before Tuesday....

xHeavYx2803d ago

Lol yeah. People want all the new stuff from the beginning.

Kribwalker2803d ago

I was hoping for a gun. Woulda been nice to get something other then the Monte Carlo is all

This article is wrong, he is on top of the mountain. Right next to the camp fire.

Boring stuff this week. I actually got a hawk moon from a legendary engram. That's a plus

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter364d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood364d ago (Edited 364d ago )

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.

Rude-ro364d ago (Edited 364d ago )

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

Kurt Russell363d ago

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.

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast364d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername364d ago (Edited 364d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g364d ago

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.

spicelicka364d ago

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.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai515d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface514d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard512d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
