Destiny is not published by Ubi-Soft. It's by Activision.

Everyone I know who owns X1 buys their games digitally. Things like EA Access are going to push that share up.

Thank god most people are smart enough not to go digital. Worst decision ever.

Lmao nice try dude. Some people buy games digitally every now n then. What does that have to do with DRM (in the way your so OBVIOUSLY trying to reference it lol)?What a stupid attempt to link the two hah

Ummm... How did I get a disagree? Do you disagree with the fact that physical copies of Destiny actually DID outsell digital copies 4 to 1 according to the stats cited in the article?

It's basic math. 1 out of 5 = 4 to 1

How can you disagree with something that's a fact?

Lmao please stop.

Study also finds 1 in every 5 people are delusional they think everyone hates Destiny when truthfully the ones that hate it are the majority.

Um, those digital games are no where near forever. How long will the 360 and PS3 store servers be up? Another 5, maybe even 10 years tops. Let's say 5, probably go down around when the next gen starts getting hyped. Your HDD fails and you're done, your retro library is over.

Before the store goes down, do you have enough space on that HDD for all your stuff? What stays and what goes? Maybe you find an old PS3 game you want to play... on disc of course since the store is gone... Do you have the space for an installation if it needs it?

Ah, whatever, maybe you don't care about all those dumb old games, you can just sell 'em to a friend or on eBay, make some of that money back to help get that new console!... Well, if you can sell someone on an old consoles with a bunch of digital games on an aging HDD. Shame too, a couple of them are pretty rare now and goe for some good money if it's the physical release.

But whatever, you saved tons of money buying digital! Except that with the sales online and at retail or used all those digital games wound up being more or just as expensive as the physical copy.

Don't even get me started on day one patches, DLC and content being removed post release. Anyway, my point is that maybe you don't have to get up and change a disc but digital is way more limiting in everything else you can do with it. It's just an extended rental, and eventually it's gonna get taken away, at least on consoles.

neither new-gen console spins the discs to load levels or anything anymore. once they install the first time, the discs only get spun for the purposes of authentication. probably won't be as big a source of wear as in the past. that said, i agree digital is the better experience

Yup that what patcher said

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.

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

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

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

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.

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.
