Yesterday we wrote about how some rumors say that Activision can grab – even more – money if Bungie ends up implementing microtransactions for the purple ammo packs in Destiny. Surprisingly, this rumor was very quickly denied by Acti!

Activision told Game Informer the following: „We’re not doing that.” However, remember that microtransactions were added into Destiny in October 2015. An analyst thinks that both the developer and publisher would be able to get hundreds of millions of dollars on top of purchasing Destiny by using microtransactions. (With over 20 million players, it’s possible.)

What’s going to happen with the purple ammo packs and how will the microtransactions fare? The latter one is mainly used for emojis at the moment. We’re going to see the answers to these questions shortly.

Knowing Activision, they can pull this off if they wanted to, only to eventually roll this kind of money hungry mentality to Call of Duty in the future, right?
