Many of you have your heart in the right place and believe these multi million dollar companies need to add new revenue streams to survive modern game development, but the numbers just don't fit that narrative.
Let's look at some numbers shall we?
Destiny 2's publisher's (Activision) total assets are worth $17.452 billion.

Hell Bobby Kotick (Activision's CEO) is worth $2,000,000,000 by himself. How many engrams you think he's bought?

This company doesn't need Eververse to feed themselves. It's purely greed.

I quit destiny after con of Osiris. This just makes me never want to come back. Any game that you pay 60 bucks for should not have items that are attainable only through loot box finger crossing. If they had just allowed bright engrams to pull from the dawning loot table people wouldn't be rioting. If they wanted to pull this crap then they shouldn't have priced the game at 60 bucks.
