NowGamer: "Whether or not Activision and Bungie wants to call Destiny an MMO or not, it is in a large number of ways. One of those key ways being end-game, where Destiny has a number of gameplay elements to work on.
But what is end-game? When do you get there and what can you do when you reach it?
After completing the main story missions and reaching level 20 you'll be at end-game, and here you've got a grind on your hands. Here's what you can do at level 20 in Destiny.
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.
Turn your console off and walk away
Continue you level up by gathering rare and powerful gear
this here explains the problem with this game, you have to ask yourself.
I grabbed this for my ps4, I really WANT to like it but I must admit I am struggling to enjoy it. The game looks great but it just seems to lack substance, the load times when hopping back to the tower are a bit of a bore and once at the tower there is very little interaction available - most people seem to be jumping around, dancing or standing still while looking at their stats (or off having a pee).
I really hope the new content that is due out in Dec (I think) is worth paying for, in the UK the expansion pass is £35 which is almost the price of a full game.
Maybe if the 2 expansion packs were included at launch in the game it would feel more complete and less repetitive and empty.
Anyway, I'll give it another couple of weeks but I can see this one gathering dust on the shelf in the not to distant future.
We need this article...after being out for 3 days?!
